Full-day guided Pamukkale from Antalya with hotel pickup, lunch, and Hierapolis museum. See thermal pools and travertines.

“It’s a long day, up to 12 hours, with only 3 hours spent at the Pamukkale/Hieropolis site. That being said, the hot springs area is very interesting to see. Note, you’re only paddling in water above the ankles, not swimming. The exhibits at Hieropolis are well done and the theatre is well-restored, so you could actually spend more time there than paddling in the water. The lunch is good and very plentiful. The guide was difficult to understand from the back half of the minibus since the mike wasn’t working. No one needs the stop at the onyx factory, which just adds to the length of the trip. If you…”

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 247 reviews · 14 to 17 hours (approx.) · from $36.3

Early morning optional balloon flight, then Pamukkale Cotton Castle and Hierapolis on a long Antalya day trip with lunch included.

“So this was a once in a lifetime experience. The start was an early one at 1:40am but our guide Othman was so energetic and lively that it made the start bearable. The guys at the air balloon ride were amazing, you can see they are really passionate. The ride was about 45 mins long and we finished with a celebratory non alcoholic drink. There is also the option to buy the film of the ride for $20. The team work really hard to get the balloon up and running and we felt they deserved a tip. Afterwards we went for breakfast which I must admit was awful so bring…”

Antalya day trip to Pamukkale and Hierapolis with hotel pickup, lunch, guided ruins, and time for thermal pools, plus optional Cleopatra Pool.

“Do not recommend this tour. Very unorganized and unprofessional! Pick up time was 6:20 and couple of stops to pick up other guests. Driver stopped 45 minutes after getting on the road for breakfast!! No one ate expect driver!!! Waste of time. Lunch was disgusting. Flies all over the food. Drinks were not included. Had to pay for water also. Got to Pamukkale very little information was given by the tour guide and plan was to meet her again at 3:30 by Cleopatra pool to go to Amphitheater. We were there from 3:15 to 3:35 by the entrance and no sign of her. Anyway , we basically did everything on…”

12.Great Pamukkale Tour from Antalya

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 106 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $90.58

A smooth 12-hour Pamukkale trip from Antalya, with hotel pickup, a guided visit to UNESCO sites, and time at Cleopatra Pools.

“Our guide Dilek was very cheerful and made the tour a lot of fun. The site itself, Pamukkale, was also very attractive and the lunch was well worth it. However, the communication regarding the pick-up time for the tour was very late and we were concerned that the tour would actually go ahead. It was after 21:00 the day before when we were finally informed of the time. I think this should be improved.”

We had to creats a fuss to be taken back on trip as it wasn’t our fault at all. They were not even picking up phone when we tried to ring them.”
