Overview
About this tour
Pamukkale ('Cotton Castle' in Turkish) is a UNESCO World Heritage site three hours inland. Calcium-white travertine terraces formed by mineral hot springs, Roman Hierapolis above them, and the Cleopatra Pool fed by warm spring water. Best done as a long day trip, not as a rushed cruise excursion. We recommend it only for guests staying two nights or more in Kuşadası or Selçuk.
