Tour overview
Pamukkale and Hierapolis form one UNESCO World Heritage Site: white calcium terraces fed by warm springs, and above them the ruins of a Roman spa city with a large theatre, colonnaded streets and an extensive necropolis. From Fethiye it is around three hours’ drive each way, which is why this trip starts early and is organised to avoid the steepest entrance in the midday heat.
The reference timetable has pickups from 06:30, a breakfast stop in a mountain village around 08:00 and arrival at Pamukkale around 11:00. A licensed guide leads a walk through Hierapolis, followed by about two hours of free time to walk barefoot on the travertines, visit the museum or swim in Cleopatra’s antique pool. A buffet lunch follows at 14:00, with hotels reached around 19:00.
Hotel transfer, the guide, breakfast, buffet lunch and passenger insurance are included. The Pamukkale site entrance (which covers Hierapolis), the separate Cleopatra’s Pool fee and drinks are paid on the day. Children aged 0–6 enter the site free only with their physical passport. Bring easy-to-remove shoes, a bag for them, sunglasses and high-factor sun cream; the white stone reflects strong glare.
