Things to do in Pamukkale

Very nice and professional guide

The itinerary was well-planned, with plenty of free time for taking photos. The tour guide was knowledgeable and provided thorough introductions to the tourist attractions. Remember to wear sunscreen!

The vehicles provided throughout the trip were equipped with USB charging, so we didn't have to worry about our phone batteries. Also, the tour guide was knowledgeable and diligently provided explanations. When visiting Pamukkale, you can spend an extra 100 euros to experience paragliding (the video requires an additional 50 euros).

It was great to witness the traces of Turkish history with my own eyes. The ruins of Hierapolis were magnificent, the amphitheater was majestic, and the hot spring water shimmered with an emerald glow. The bus ride from Antalya to Pamukkale takes about 4 hours. Therefore, the tour pick-up time is quite early, so please keep that in mind. (It varies slightly depending on the location of your accommodation, but in my case, the pick-up time was 5:10 AM.) During the journey, we stopped at a rest stop-like area twice for breakfast and a break. You can buy souvenirs if you want, but the choice is entirely yours. The guide who helped me with the tour was named 'Osman,' and he provided detailed explanations about everything from simple history to the origin of the name 'Pamukkale' and each historical site, which was great. (The explanations are given in English.) Since it's a history-related topic, some explanations are difficult to understand, but you can understand most of the content by using tools like ChatGPT, so you don't have to worry too much. You only see as much as you know, and you can only feel as much as you see, so if you do a little research on Pamukkale and Turkish history before starting the tour, it will be an even more beneficial tour. For your information, although it's called a hot spring, the water wasn't as warm as I expected. (As of September 29, 2025) The water stagnant on the ground is rather cold, and there is only a little warmth in the water flowing through the valley. (Mostly children are splashing around in the water.) You have to take off your shoes to enter the hot spring area, so it's a good idea to prepare a plastic bag or bag to put your shoes in. Also, the ground is more uneven than you might think, so your feet may hurt. That's why some tourists wear aqua shoes.

the agency planned very well everything. since it was my first time using agency to travel and also with my mom, I was worried but at the end trip was well organised, as per the schedule driver picked up, flights were arranged well with meal. one thing could improve would be tour guide and more explanation about the places and locations we are going through. but all good and value for money (much convenient way to see things in short period)

our guide Nejla was super friendly & helpful~ learned a lot history through the tour! highly recommend☆☆☆☆☆

A practical package combining a hot air balloon experience with a visit to Pamukkale/Hierapolis.

Pamukkale was truly beautiful. Hierapolis also had many attractions, which was great. The guide was excellent as well. Highly recommended.
