🏛️ What is Pamukkale?

Nicknamed the "Cotton Castle", Pamukkale is one of Turkey’s most photographed natural wonders. Formed by calcite-laden waters from hot springs, its terraced white cliffs and turquoise thermal pools offer a surreal, otherworldly view. It’s also a place of spiritual and historical significance dating back thousands of years.

⛲ Cleopatra’s Pool – Swim Through History

This natural thermal pool is surrounded by submerged ancient columns and ruins from the Roman era. Legends claim Cleopatra herself bathed here. The thermal water is rich in minerals and stays warm year-round — a one-of-a-kind spa experience in the middle of history.

🏺 Hierapolis – The Holy City

Founded in the 2nd century BC, Hierapolis flourished under Roman rule. Today, you can explore its grand amphitheatre, vast necropolis, Roman baths, and the Hierapolis Archaeology Museum, filled with artifacts from nearby ancient cities such as Laodicea and Tripolis.
