We spent an afternoon here and thought it well worth the long drive. It is amazing to catch sight of it from a distance, thinking you are viewing snow on mountains, and then begin to realize it is an enormous natural calcium rock formation. Also amazing to think that people have been coming here since before Roman times, to soak... More

A fascinating place, the photos just don't do it justice. It does get extremely busy, and it can also get very windy, but don't let that put you off, you need to see Pamukkale once in your life. Walking on the calcite deposits (travertine) is mildly challenging - you have to take your shoes off (or security men will blow... More

Your tour guide may tell you that you can only swim in the "antique" Cleopatra pool, but don't you believe it. Make sure to allocate the majority of your time to swimming in these gorgeous, terraced, travertine pools of tourquoise warm water. An entirely unique experience.

This is an absolute must for anyone who gets the opportunity to visit it. It is one of the most fascinating and awesome places I have ever been. It is a Wold Heritage site and rightly so - just go and see!

Well, it should be! What a beautiful place! We had to travel 3 hours from Kusadasi to visit this special place, but it was worth it. We did not spend a lot of time in the pools because one can't walk on the rock with shoes and we are tender foots. My husband did step into a small pool and... More

Give yourself between 3 to 6 hours just enjoying the thermal pools and exploring the ruins of an ancient city here. Currently there is renovations to restore one of... More

Although it took us ages to get to Pamukkale, we found that it was WELL worth the 18 hour bus trip. We stayed for two nights in two different hotels, and while we found the town to be overwhelming, we were greatly pleased with our day at the pools. We did not opt for a tour, and the entry price...
