A very cool place - the main thing is to visit it correctly and at the right time - definitely not in summer, definitely with an overnight stay - and start in the morning - do not go from the lower entrance, but get to the upper one, first visit Hierapolis - then swim in Cleopatra's pool, and then go down to the village along the travertines - and there, to the right, go to the park, take a catamaran, and then eat at one of the restaurants overlooking the travertines.
There are a lot of people, it's very hot, everything is white, it blinds your eyes.
About 20 years ago, you could swim in all the baths, now fihwam ...))
It's worth visiting once...
It's expensive, but the place is great, you need to pay about 20 bucks per person for admission. It's very hot there, the drinks at the bar are expensive.
An incredible place. Words cannot describe it, it is better to come once and see with your own eyes.
The only thing is that Cleopatra did not go to the pool. I don't know how she swam in such a dirty pool 🤣
An overrated landmark. We drove from Antalya for this. The cost is too high (April 2023 - 400 rubles, 500 with an audio guide). There is zero information about how it all formed. There were a lot of people, although it was a weekday and bad weather. It's hard to imagine what's going on here in high season.
It is better to go out of season. We were in early July, the heat was 40 degrees, the queue was 50 minutes long. Be sure to enter from the main entrance!
We need to go and see. Even a thousand photos won't help you feel how hot water gushes out of the mountain and flows down. And how pleasant it is to walk on it with bare feet
Expectation is a reality, a large crowd of people, not organized, slippery, fashionable, normally hit or fly off a cliff, with speed. Don't waste your time
Nicely. Unusual. Fabulous.
A lot of people, but what to do, everyone wants to see it, take a photo.
Nearby you can sit in the shade, eat ice cream, drink Cola, enjoy sugar and the view.))
Have a good rest.)
There's not much to do there. I advise those who rest nearby - in Marmaris, etc.
It is definitely not worth going from Antalya and Alanya

A great trip to Turkey 2019, a forthcoming review of the Adaland Water Park.
Pamukkale is a city in the western part of Turkey. It is famous for its thermal springs, located on terraces of white limestone. Here you can also see the ruins of the ancient spa town of Hierapolis during the Roman Empire (about 190 BC).- we never got there, we went straight from the road to the travertines. The theatre and sarcophagi in the 2 km long necropolis are the best preserved. Another attraction is the Ancient pool with Roman columns, which were under water as a result of the earthquake.
The third photo is most likely real travertines formed naturally. Because those travertines where everyone walks are made in the form of bowls and the "lining" of the travertine is chipped off from some. Smooth concrete walls are visible. If you look closely, the real side is very thin, the artificial side is 20 centimeters. And the question of where the water is coming from is most likely pumping. And there is no way to go to natural travertines, most likely in order to preserve them as a cultural monument, and an attraction with artificial bowls was invented for the people😉
The ticket for the attraction is 50 rubles.
