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.
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 very cool place, a historical landmark! It turns out cool photos, a lot of places where you can walk and walk. Take a spiritual and mental break from the hustle and bustle. We 'll be back 🔥
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.
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 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!
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
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
An unusual place, interesting! Nicely. An exciting tour. It's a 4-hour drive, but it's worth it. I really liked it. The huge territory of the Museum of ancient antiquity in the open air.
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.
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
One of the most expensive attractions in Turkey. Lots of people, even in March. It's worth seeing once, but no wow, there are places much more interesting and less crowded in Turkey. Of the ancient cities, Aphrodisias impressed, an hour by car from Pamukkale.
It's worth a look, but I want to spend more time, not 2.5 hours as the guides from Fun&Sun give
We met with a guide from Fun&Sun at hotels, spun horror stories about travel agencies and paid museums in Pomukale, don't get fooled. There is payment only for the entrance and entrance to the Cleopatra baths. The rest, admission is free to both the museum and the Roman theater (amphitheater). Do not overpay by taking from the guide. They will also take you to strange places like "the world of stones", "winemaking", "icons"
It's a wonderful place. My experience is a thoughtful visit for the whole day from dawn to dusk. The crowds of tourists are bypassed and the impression becomes much better. Of course, it is very hot in summer, but visiting in May is comfortable. Climbing the turrets from the bottom is mandatory. The territory of the ancient city is huge. And you can relax in the antique pool.
There are a lot of people, but it's very beautiful. The heat in June was 43 degrees, but there are fountains with drinking water. We were traveling by car on our own from Russia. I do not know how much the tour costs, there is a secret passage - we visited it for free
We visited with an excursion when we vacationed in Turkey a few years ago. The place is picturesque, there are a lot of tourists, the walk was a little difficult for a large number of visitors. When visiting Turkey for the first time, of course, it is worth coming here, an unusual place.
Место, достойное посещения. На конец августа 2023 года стоимость билета 700 лир (вход и музей), посещение бассейна Клеопатры дополнительно 200 лир (цены для взрослого, детям дешевле). Если ехать самостоятельно (без экскурсии), то лучше входить через Южный вход - там нет экскурсионных автобусов, вы сразу попадаете к источникам, поднимаетесь вверх и можете идти через музей к бассейну Клеопатры, а потом и к остальным достопримечательностям. Место очень атмосферное, но летом очень жарко, скрыться негде, в музее кондиционера нет. Для купания в бассейне Клеопатры есть отдельные раздевалки и душевые, фото там только платное (150 лир), есть сувениры, закуски-мороженое- ценник конский, смотрите цены перед покупкой.
It has become very expensive (2024 30 euros admission), only 3 upper baths work, in which everyone is sour, the baths that we see in Google, in reality, have been dry for a long time, they are not even filled for appearance. It's very sad. Artificially made it bigger, but Pamukkale is almost dry. Let me remind you, Cleopatra's bath is a separate cost.
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 great clean place, you can walk there for a long time, explore, but often there are a lot of people, you just can't approach some places. The architecture is fascinating
We've been fighting there for a long time, of course, but I think the place is a must-visit. There is a place to wander, something to see. The amphitheater, the old town, Cleopatra's pool and the lime baths themselves.
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
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...
Of course, the grandiose is impressive . It's certainly worth a look.Cons -of course there are a lot of visitors, you can't be without sunglasses. Access to natural fonts is limited.
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
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.
It's a long road, of course. The places are beautiful and interesting. There is a lot of destruction, you need to be more careful and careful.
It's worth visiting and seeing everything with your own eyes.
В 2017 году мы с подругой были в этом замечательном месте. У меня до сих пор сохранились приятные воспоминания об этой поездке. Исторические места помогли нам окунуться в эпоху римской империи, во времена которой, все это было создано. Благодаря замечательному экскурсоводу мы как будто бы очутились на олимпийских играх того времени.
А какая замечательная природа! Термальные источники поражают своей необычностью и красотой. Мы узнали, что Памуккале означает "хлопкойвый замок". И действительно выглядит, как громадная гора хлопка. От этой красоты и величия просто захватывает дух! В такие моменты хочется восхвалять того, кто все это создал! Мне вспоминаются такие слова: "Как многочисленны дела Твои, Господи! Земля полна произведений Твоих" (Псалом 103:24). Я буду очень рада вернуться в эти места, если будет возможность. Всем советую туда съездить :)
It is definitely worth a visit , it is worth combining a two-day excursion with a visit to Ephesus , you will arrive in pomukale in the morning and identify all the other lamers .
I have already left a review about the Nefertiti pool. And this source is located in one place. You have to be a fool to be in Turkey and not get to the Pamukkale springs. There are no words for this beauty.

A miracle of nature! It is a must-visit for those traveling to Turkey. Excursion from Biblio Globus.
Beautiful views; Cleopatra's pool, where the temperature is the same all year round (the only minus is you have to be careful not to hit the fragments of slabs and columns).
You can walk around the ruins of the city of Hieropolis, the temple of Apollo, the ancient amphitheater.
In general, it is very expensive to climb the springs themselves, 30 euros to wet your feet where 1000 more people do it ... we did not, go around a little to the left and see a beautiful white mountain with baths and transparent streams and the most wonderful thing is no one around)
It is necessary to visit, it is very beautiful, to take socks with you so as not to walk barefoot, in places there are insular stones. It's a long road from Antalya, but it's worth it 🩷
Отличное место, очень красиво и необычно. Советую побывать каждому. Белоснежные травертины, сохранившиеся памятники культуры и истории. Познавательно и отличное место для хорошо проведенных дней отпуска
Посещали самостоятельно.
Дорога от Кемера до Паммукале заняла около 4 часов (с заездом в Денезли). Парковка платная, 20лир с машины. Рядом есть кафе/магазины. Входной билет 400лир с человека. Дорога по травертинам наверх только босиком. Наверху огромная территория бывшего античного города, если интересна история и посещаете самостоятельно закладывайте побольше времени. Так же есть несколько музеев, вернее залов с предметами быта, саркофагов и скульптур. На территории есть кафе, сувениры (цены высоковаты, но, например, сувениры есть весьма интересные). В общем, если приезжаешь не с экскурсией, то всё платно - купание в источниках, проезд на карах от локации к локации и тд. Повезло с погодой, было не очень жарко, так что удалось посмотреть часть древнего Иерополиса. До сих пор где-то идут раскопки, что-то закрыто, но помимо травертин там ого-го сколько интересностей.
Рекомендую к посещению не в жаркую погоду и чтобы не быть ограничеными по времени, и берите с собой воду:) и если есть проблемы со стопами (шпоры и тд), то идти по травертинам будет больно.

It's definitely not worth it! You can only bathe in Cleopatra's spring, and it is for an additional fee. We bought an excursion at the hotel from Anex tour for a year, she painted beautifully, but in fact: absence from the hotel for almost a day (hotel in Konakli), of which only a couple of hours at the springs, the rest of the time is on the road and through unnecessary shops. About the fact that there is nowhere to swim except Cleopatra - not a word, okay, just in case they took some money in rubles, they had to pay extra. As a result, for $ 200, you can swim a little under the scorching heat and have time to enjoy the view of the springs in a couple of hours.
They say it's very beautiful and primitive here, I haven't been there myself, but I really dream! The place has been in the notes for a long time... and what photos do you get here? do not forget a replaceable swimsuit and cap, as well as spf
Mixed feelings... a lot of people … Well, I would never have come here a second time. Maybe it's worth visiting for show) If there were fewer people, it would be possible to make a couple of beautiful shots, but of course it's not interesting🤪
Понравился полёт на воздушном шаре над всеми достопримечательностями Памуккале. И прям с утра порадовал бассейн Клеопатры, тепло и с пузырьками естественного подземного происхождения, купайтесь, не пожалеете, правда днём народу много. Если смотреть только развалины Хераполиса и травертины, то скучновато. Также на территории есть музей
Источник Памуккале (Хлопковая гора или белая гора). Уникальное место с точки зрения географии, истории. Горная порода белого цвета из за большого содержания кальция и минералов. Красивые виды, чистый горный воздух!!
The place is interesting to visit. The springs are warm, even when it was cold, they did not freeze in the water. Many photos) near Cleopatra's baths, excavations, antique theater. Overall, I really liked it!
A must-visit. Here you can see the preserved theater, as in the gladiator… As for the history, well, the natural "chips" are, of course, the Aphrodite pool.
What can I say?! A wonderful source. A lot of positive emotions. Incomparable beauty. Useful barefoot walking. I recommend definitely putting something on your head, using sunscreen. Take a snack with you.
Волшебное чудо природы, стоит посетить это место. В одном месте и старый римский город, минеральный источник с температурой тела и белые известные террасы хлопковое замка. Не забудьте надеть очки от солнца, слепит как на горнолыжном курорте от снега.
Советую, т к. это наследие ЮНЕСКО. Были с группой, заезд в магазин обязаловка, но не напрягает т.к. времени дают мало, рассказали, посмотрел, и дальше, а вот времени на самих достопримечательностей не хватило. Народу было много, что сфоткаться нужно было ждать момент. Источник Клеопатра тоже стоит посетить, вода там действительно минеральная, напоминает боржоми. Естественно не омолодиться, но освежиться!
