Service Details
Depart for Pamukkale, known as the “Cotton Castle” in English, a stunning natural wonder famous for its white travertine terraces and healing mineral waters. The site was once the ancient city of Hierapolis, a renowned center for thermal baths and spiritual healing in Roman times.
After lunch at a local restaurant, visit the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. Explore the impressively preserved Necropolis, the Main Street and its monumental gates, the thermal baths, and the intriguing Devil’s Hole.
Continue to the grand Roman Theater, one of the best-preserved examples of ancient theater architecture. Pamukkale’s terraces are formed by travertine, a sedimentary rock created by mineral-rich waters emerging from natural hot springs. The area hosts 17 thermal springs, with water temperatures ranging from 35°C to 100°C.
As the water flows across the plateau, it deposits calcium carbonate, creating the dazzling white formations that resemble frozen waterfalls. You will also have the opportunity to swim or enjoy a therapeutic bath in the hot spring mineral pools of a hotel, where the legendary healing waters have been enjoyed since ancient times.

Our guide shared incredible insights about the ancient city of Hierapolis and its connection to healing waters.
Nos encantó cómo combinaron historia con paisajes naturales. ¡Fenomenal!
A great day trip from Kusadasi. The drive was scenic and comfortable, and the tour was well-structured.
The views from the top of the travertines were breathtaking. Make sure to bring a swimsuit if you want to dip in Cleopatra’s Pool!
Las vistas eran espectaculares y todo estuvo perfectamente coordinado.
Soaking our feet in the warm pools while surrounded by ruins was one of the most peaceful experiences of our trip.
Hierapolis was fascinating — the ancient theater and thermal baths gave a real sense of Roman luxury and history.
A perfect blend of nature and archaeology. We felt we got the best of both worlds in one memorable day.
Crossroads Travel did a fantastic job coordinating everything — from the hotel pickup to the local lunch stop.
