We enjoy the tour as it without and delay or hurry.suitable for relaxation and family tour. All was great but I’m little disappointed with the hotel surtel in kusadasi as the hotel was a faulty tower without even a plug point to connect the charger.room lock was hard to open and close .morever the lady staff was not helpful and ignore our questions.For a tourist whom speak English as main language , not advisable to stay there.

What our customers ask about Pamukkale Tours & Trips
What are the best times of year to visit Pamukkale's thermal pools?
Spring (March-May) and autumn (September-November) provide ideal conditions for experiencing Pamukkale's thermal pools. The moderate temperatures during these seasons make it comfortable to explore the white travertines barefoot and enjoy a swim in Cleopatra's Pool. The waters maintain a constant temperature of 35°C year-round creating those distinctive white calcium terraces that have become synonymous with the region. While summer visits are possible the intense heat can make the experience less enjoyable for many visitors.
What are the best accommodations near Pamukkale?
The area offers several well-positioned hotels that cater to different preferences. The Colossae Thermal Hotel stands out for its proximity to the travertines and on-site thermal facilities. The Melrose ViewPoint Hotel provides excellent views of the white terraces while the Doga Thermal is known for its strategic location between the archaeological site and Pamukkale town. These properties blend modern amenities with traditional Turkish hospitality making them reliable bases for exploring the region.
What's the best way to combine Pamukkale with other Turkish destinations?
Pamukkale works well as part of a larger Turkish itinerary with Ephesus just three hours away and Cappadocia accessible by overnight bus or flight. Tour statistics show that 77% of visitors include Pamukkale as part of a multi-destination journey. Companies like City of Sultans offer organized tours that efficiently connect these locations allowing travelers to maximize their time in each destination while minimizing travel logistics.
What are the entrance fees for Pamukkale's attractions?
Entry to the Pamukkale-Hierapolis archaeological site costs 30 USD per person which includes access to both the travertine terraces and ancient ruins. For those interested in swimming the Cleopatra's Antique Pool requires an additional 10 USD fee. Most organized tours exclude these entrance costs from their packages. The site accepts only credit cards or Turkish Lira for payment no foreign cash is accepted by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism.
What historical sites should I prioritize seeing at Hierapolis?
The ancient city of Hierapolis contains several significant ruins that deserve attention. The Theatre remains remarkably intact while the Necropolis features 1200 gravestones making it one of the largest ancient cemeteries in Turkey. Other key sites include the Great Baths Frontinus Street and the Martyrion of St. Phillip. These structures offer clear insights into the city's Roman period and its importance as a cultural center.
How crowded does Pamukkale get and when are the quietest times to visit?
The site sees its lowest visitor numbers before 10:00 AM and after 4:00 PM. Summer months (June-August) and holiday periods bring the largest crowds to the terraces. Tour companies often plan their visits during quieter hours particularly for photography opportunities. The difference in crowd levels between peak and off-peak times can significantly impact the quality of your visit making timing an essential consideration for your trip.
