You will meet the guide at your Hotel in Antalya. It takes 3 hours to get to Pamukkale (Hierapolis) from Kusadasi. There will be a small break for needs.
You will have lunch upon arrival in Pamukkale, then head to the South Gate of Pamukkale(Hierapolis). Your Tour Guide will explain Necropolis (cemetery) of Hierapolis which is one of the biggest ancient cemeteries in Anatolia with 1.200 graves, Roman Bath, Domitian Gate, and the Main Street, Byzantium Gate.
After the tour in Hierapolis, there will be a break in which you can spend your time swimming in the Ancient Pool (aka. Cleopatra Pool). Please note that swimming in the pool costs an extra fee. The Cleopatra Pool is warmed by hot springs and littered with underwater fragments of ancient marble columns. It is possibly associated with the Temple of Apollo. The pool provides a rare opportunity to swim among antiquities to visitors! During the Roman period, columned porticoes surrounded the pool; earthquakes toppled them into the water where they lie today.
If you want you can walk to the natural warm water terraces which were formed by the hot water that contains
calcium. The temperature of the water is about 35 degrees. You can see the gleaming white travertine terraces
of Pamukkale, located next to the ruins of Hierapolis. The extraordinary effect is created when water from the
hot springs loses carbon dioxide as it flows down the slopes, leaving deposits of limestone. The layers of white
calcium carbonate, built up in steps on the plateau, gave the site the name Cotton Castle.
After the tour, you will be taken back to the hotel.
