Summary

Meet your guide at your Selçuk hotel, and make the drive to Pamukkale in a comfortable, air conditioned minibus. Learn about local history on the way, and break for lunch before visiting the pair of remarkable sites. Hear stories about the ancient people who flocked to Pamukkale’s mineral-rich water, then follow your guide to some of the best formations—don’t miss the ‘Cotton Castle,’ where thousands of years of mineral deposits have taken the shape of a frozen waterfall. After your walking tour, enjoy free time to visit the site on your own, snapping photos of the eerie landscape and taking in pool after pool. In the nearby city of Hierapolis, step into the ancient world: see ruined temples and spa-like baths, a towering arch, necropolis and theater. Learn how the inhabitants paid their respects to local nymphs in the nymphaeum, then see how the pagan structures gave way to churches and St. Philip’s martyrium. Soak up views of the landscape on the return trip to the coast, then finish the day at your Selçuk hotel.
