A very interesting attraction. I recommend you to visit. The territory is large, it has an amphitheater (which is well preserved), Cleopatra's pool, and the most interesting thermal springs, which are saturated with calcium, and over the centuries have formed a cascade of terraced baths decorated with calcite stalactites.
The springs, along with the ruins of Hierapolis, are included in the UNESCO list.
And not so long ago (years ago), balloon flights began to gain momentum. This is also a very spectacular show, both from the ground and from the basket of an aircraft. Of course, the number is still very far behind Cappadocia, but it looks impressive.

A fantastic place. important! Do not visit in the summer in the middle of the day with a guided tour. Fewer people at non-touristic times of the year, from opening to closing. It was 2.12.24 - there are a lot of people, but by sunset, with patience, you can take a photo without people. It is also convenient to park the car not in the paid parking lot near the south gate, but from below, where there are hotels and cafes. Then in the beginning you can take a taxi up (who has little strength), and then right at the very close after sunset go down the springs. You should bring your sandals with you then.

This is not the first time I have visited this place and I always admire the beauty and uniqueness of the natural landscape. At any time of the year, it is a great pleasure to swim in the mineral spring of the pool, walk among the perfectly preserved artifacts of the museum, enjoy the power of the amphitheater and the views from it.

A cool place, of course, worth a visit. But not in August, it's sooo hot. Although the travertine itself does not heat up, everyone walks barefoot on it. The water in the fonts is warm, but you need to walk carefully in them, the bottom is not smooth. And only cash lira or cards are accepted for payment. Gazprombank's Unionpay is open (August 2024). The ticket costs 30 and 40 euros, 40 with entrance to the amphitheater. In Turkey, in general, all museums charge only lira, well, and cards. We got there in a rented car. Gasoline is expensive, unionpay does not work everywhere at gas stations, it is better to have lira. It is better to change the currency in banks, the exchange rate is not very good in hotels. To exchange, you need a passport or at least a photo of it. They changed my passport photo.

An incredible place that went backwards and forwards in two days. To begin with, since 2024, Turkey has begun to profit from tourists in the truest sense of the word. Admission costs 40 euros per person and this is of course an outrage, while for Turkish citizens you can buy a museum card for 60 lira (1.8 euros) and enter all museums in Turkey unlimited throughout the year. My family and I got here under the related option of 500 lira (15 euros) for a museum card for a foreigner with a residence permit. After crossing the gate, you find yourself in the huge ancient city of Hierapolis, which is difficult to get around in one day. The architecture and scale are simply amazing. However, the place where all tourists gather and the place of attraction to Pammukala are springs and travertines, which by 2024 are almost all dried up and it is impossible to walk on them and there is no water in them. A little further there is a small area where travertines are recreated artificially and warm water is supplied to them. In some travertines, it stays warm, in some it cools down instantly and it all looks epic and cool, of course. The cool thing is that it all looks like a huge glacier, on which hundreds of people are walking barefoot. The territory also has a swimming pool where Cleopatra swam with iron-enriched water, it costs 350 lira (~10 euros) to swim, a very large-scale amphitheater that is incredibly illuminated at night, as well as entire streets of the city of Hierapolis with its incredible scale and ancient spirit. If you are vacationing in Turkey, then I highly recommend visiting if you have extra money, but in my opinion, hotel excursions spend too little time in such a place and to see everything it is better to go for one or two full days.

The place is very interesting. Everything is saturated with energy
It is certainly interesting to see everything. Beautiful views and the history of mankind. It is definitely worth visiting, but be prepared that you will have to walk a lot

I would like to share our opinion about this area of the city
It took 5 hours to drive, taking into account the arrival at each tourist's hotel (we had a check-out at 4 a.m. from Alanya), arrived at 11), we drove to the useless lake Siedra, where we spent an hour, although there was nothing to see from the word at all, then there was a wine tasting for 10 thousand rubles, finally when we we have already arrived, then first of all we went to the amphitheater, of course it is beautiful, but if you do not see it for the first time, then there will be no delight, there are just a lot of tourists, you need to wait for half an hour to photograph the square without people, then we went to the springs, Cleopatra's pool is the dirtiest possible paddling pool, which is not even needed for free therefore, in no case do not take tickets, the springs themselves are beautiful, but there are about 40 people in each, which simply does not allow us to enter, after an hour of waiting we still got into this source, when we took clay from below or whatever it is, we were horrified, so many hair, wrappers, that after that they didn't even want to wet their nails there
Everyone goes barefoot, everyone with rotting fungal feet, maybe we were unlucky, but there were a lot of homeless people who stank a kilometer away, so if you want to stay disease-free, it's better not to visit these sources, the view is beautiful, but because of the people who fucked everything up, there was nothing wonderful left, half of the springs have already dried up, as well as all the ruins are fenced off, you will not be able to approach them
I will attach photos that were taken after a long wait and a lot of wasted nerves, and it is also worth mentioning that the price in our case was $ 80 per person), so decide for yourself whether you need it or not

We took an excursion "evening pamukkale" from the travel agency "Rainbow". I liked it very much, it's good that we chose the evening tour, because there were no such crowds and intense heat. The landscapes themselves in the rays of the setting sun are simply mesmerizing. We swam in Cleopatra's pool, but you have to be careful there, you can get hurt on the plates. I liked the amphitheater, no worse than in Ephesus. I recommend the Rainbow Agency, everything is clear (we took 2 excursions). The Pamukkale springs themselves should be seen at least once in your life, believe me, it's worth it.

Well, such a thing)) check the box- I was there)) nothing to do with beautiful blogger photos) maybe something has changed now, but when we were there, the travertine bowls themselves were closed to visitors and you could only walk along the topmost tier. A controversial pleasure, pushing buttocks, knee-deep in incomprehensible water. Cleopatra's pool is purely a PR topic)) it is paid to sit in warm water, where people are like "herrings in a barrel". On the plus side, there is a photographer standing there all day and you can make beautiful windows with wings (black and white) and then buy them for a fee)). But the road sucks the most. It's long and tedious, of course, with visits to all sorts of factories selling everything in a row. In general, the most stupid excursion, it's better to spend a day at sea)) although I admit that if you go by car the day before and stay overnight in a nearby town and drive up to the travertines for the opening, you can wander through the ruins with pleasure, along the same upper tier of travertines and dive into the pool))))

A magical place! Of course, there are a lot of tourists, so it wasn't always possible to fish out a moment so that there was no one nearby in the photo, but this is understandable. There is a cafe on the territory, and a park (by the way, it is important to recommend it, because we were literally alone there, that is, the place is beautiful, quiet, with a gorgeous view, but everyone goes only to the springs, so you know))), and a museum. Highly recommended

The place is interesting, especially if you haven't seen anything like it before. There are fences, so you can't get close to it, but this is not necessary for a photo.
Of the disadvantages: there is little time left in the excursion mode, you have to hurry. There are a lot of tourists, it is very problematic to take photos without outsiders. We had 3 hours for all the sights, we didn't have enough time, in the end we almost had to run to catch the bus.

The place is very interesting, for those who are in Turkey for the first time must visit. Archaeological excavations of the ancient city are located nearby. There is a Colosseum. The sources themselves look impressively large-scale. It's like walking on a frozen cascading waterfall. A place for beautiful photos. On the way back, as a rule, they stop at Cleopatra's baths - hot mineral springs. The sensations are indescribable when it's already +35 outside, and you're still swimming in hot water. The feeling after, as if you throw off 10 years. Good luck to everyone!

A beautiful ancient place, many ruins from the time of Cleopatra. Fascinating views of Cleopatra's Baths.
But Cleopatra's pool, which is paid and costs $ 12 per person, is not worth visiting. The place is small, and you can also damage your feet on an uneven bottom

If you come to the opening, then at the top you can see how balloons are flying over you, a very beautiful sight.
The springs themselves are also beautiful, you can walk down them from the mountain, but it's better after exploring the park area, there are ruins that are worth a look.
Admission is paid, in the summer of 24 it cost about 3,000 rubles.
The balloons take off at about 6:30, there's no point in being on top earlier)

Expect that this is a very large-scale place, if you visit as part of an excursion, then you need to make a choice of visiting places, you spent more than an hour on terracotta and would like to take another walk, but then there is the ancient city. - sacrifice Cleopatra's pool - just look in, don't swim. For a walk on the terracotta I recommend taking aquashouses.

One of the world's attractions in Turkey.
For the visit, you need to try a little, go deep into the country. But it's definitely worth it, the salt terraces with sky-blue water and the ruins of an ancient city at the very top.
It immerses you in history and amazes you with its views.

It's a beautiful place, but you have to choose a day when there aren't many people. The ruins of the city are very interesting, it is better to go with a guide, you need to set aside a full day on Pamukkale, otherwise it is not interesting to gallop.

I had bad impressions. Did not meet expectations at all.
Firstly, the springs themselves have dried up long ago, there are several (5 pieces) baths artificially connected to the water. It doesn't look pretty and certainly not like on a poster in advertising kiosks.
Second. Cleopatra's pool is open, but for a fee (200 lire per person, in my opinion). The pool itself is beautiful, but not very clean. We stood, looked, and decided not to go. There are changing booths and storage rooms. But it's all too summery. It is very uncomfortable in the cold period.
The third. An open-air museum. Only a couple of locations work, most of them are stupidly blocked by a fence and there is no way to get there. The information plates do not carry any useful information. Buy a guide or take a guide.
And now about the money:
We were on 12/16.24 and paid 2,200 liras for two adults. 80 liras parking. We were also offered a guide for 400 lire, we did not buy it. As a result, we drove 500 km, spent the whole day and money for nothing. It is a pity that no one warns about non-working sources and blocked museum locations.

The place is just space. We drove from Rostov-on-Don in our car. The road is long, but there are a lot of impressions. The spring especially warms the soul in autumn, and the thermal pool warms the body. I recommend to everyone, if you are in Turkey, take a car and rush to such places

The Pamukkale source left me with mixed feelings.
Although this place is known for its unique natural formations, walking there is not pleasant.
Most of the travertines are now dry, which significantly worsens the impression of the visit. There are only a few large pools left, which are occupied by tourists.

Of course, after watching the ads, I was slightly disappointed. Just because there was practically no water. Narrow passages, so be careful when going down to the water. The toilets are clean. There is water in the taps. Washing constantly. It is necessary to take hats and clothes so as not to burn. But damn the views, that's one of the places worth visiting. It's either way.

A beautiful natural wonder of the world! Traversing the travertines is difficult, but it is worth overcoming for the sake of beautiful photos. At the entrance, you must take off your shoes, go as far as you need to be careful. Before visiting the springs, we took a ride in balloons-it was part of an excursion to Pamukkale, in which we saw the mountain from a bird's-eye view

We visited this place only because it was drying up and we wanted to see it with our own eyes. It's really drying up. The Turks artificially dammed not numerous springs in order to increase the area of the baths covered with water. There are only five of them left and the concentration of tourists in them is 5 people per square meter... It's a pity this place, but the Turks behave like pigs to their nature and there is garbage and bulls all around... There are no garbage cans. The cost of a bottle of water is $ 2. Take it on the bus you're on, they're really cheaper... And it's very hot there, when we were in July it was +50 ... A couple more years and apparently the springs will dry up... This is my personal opinion. The Turks believe that this will not happen soon, but their attitude towards their own nature is very bad...

A place worth visiting. At the end of August 2023, the ticket price is 700 lire (entrance and museum), a visit to the Cleopatra pool is an additional 200 lire (prices for adults, cheaper for children). If you go on your own (without an excursion), it is better to enter through the South Entrance - there are no tour buses, you immediately get to the springs, climb up and can go through the museum to the Cleopatra pool, and then to the rest of the attractions. The place is very atmospheric, but in summer it is very hot, there is nowhere to hide, there is no air conditioning in the museum. There are separate changing rooms and showers for swimming in Cleopatra's pool, the photo is only paid (150 lira), there are souvenirs, snacks-ice cream- the price tag is horse, see the prices before buying.

The ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis and the hot springs in the neighborhood are great!
The inspection began with the ruins. We visited the Roman toilet, where important matters were sometimes resolved and trade deals were concluded, examined the ruins of the baths, then moved to the well-preserved amphitheater, where once fans of the muses of Melpomene and Thalia gave themselves up to the passions taking place on the stage of this amazing acoustic structure.
After visiting the city and being stupefied by the August heat, the whole company went to the springs. The picture that appeared before us was impressive! On the mountainside, in the cascades of numerous baths filled with muddy lime water, a lot of people swam, wandered, sat or lay down! Undressing, we joined her.
In the heat, bathing in hot water is not a great pleasure. But it's great when you get out of the water!
After learning that there is still a Cleopatra pool nearby, we decided to visit there.
The water in the pool turned out to be clean, but as hot and saturated with salts as in the baths. The bottom of the pool is strewn with fragments of antique columns and statues, which makes it not very convenient to walk.
After the pool, we rinsed (finally!) with cool water.

The place is really fantastic. Of the cons, only three hours are given for all this. (if the agency offers you 5 hours, they are blatantly lying) Objectively, we only had enough time for the travertines and the pool. We didn't even go to the theater. Either we need to do everything quickly, or sacrifice something.

The place is interesting, but the price tag for the entrance is horse. 700 lire for admission, if with a museum, then 850. Swimming in Cleopatra's pool 200 lire. It is better to go on your own. We were on an excursion about 10 years ago, we didn't give much time at all, we didn't have time to get around anything. Now they came on their own - they spent more than 4 hours inside and then they didn't look at everything, they didn't have time. Cleopatra's pool is a peculiar place- a pile of stones, columns under water- broken legs, nails. Mud floats, they clean up in the water badly. Please note that it is cold there in the off-season. To walk barefoot on travertines - the feet freeze. And as soon as the sun went out, it was cold outside. In the afternoon it was 26, in the evening at 7 o'clock it was already about 13 degrees

Limestone alluvium, I was not impressed. My wife liked it, she basically dragged me and the children there. The long road of about 300 km from Belek, as a result, the horse price tag for entry, the crowd of people, the heat, etc. liked the amphitheater and the museum more, but there is a closer one on the coast, I liked Cleopatra's pool the least.

The only thing that needs to be said for visitors who go to this beautiful place, which is worth seeing with its magnificent view, is not to climb by jumping up by entering through the lower door, but instead you can reach the traventers by visiting the historical sites by entering through the South door above. You can shop from the kiosks and souvenir shops on the viewing terrace and in the square area and take pictures of the magnificent view.👍
