What to expect
Hierapolis: Journey through time
You will explore the ruins of ancient Hierapolis, dive into the history of the city, and see its main attractions: the ancient theater, necropolis, and remains of churches. I will tell you about the founding of Hierapolis, how it became a famous thermal resort, decode the features of the construction of Roman baths, remember the Temple of Apollo, and reveal where the only entrance to the Underworld in the world is located.
Bathing in hot springs
Cleopatra's Pool is the most comfortable place for swimming in Pamukkale, its temperature remains at +36°C all year round. You will relax in warm mineral water and learn about the beneficial elements it contains. I will also tell you by whose order the pool was built, when it started receiving guests, and how fragments of marble Roman columns ended up at its bottom.
