Pamukkale tour from Alanya is a history, nature and culture tour that we organize as a day trip (without accommodation). Pamukkale meaning ‘cotton castle’ in Turkish language, a district of Denizli, is about 300 km away from Alanya. Pamukkale, which is considered one of the oldest thermal cities in the world, is world famous for its travertines with a magnificent beauty, a wonder of creation. Pamukkale travertines were formed as a result of hot thermal spring waters encountering cold air and precipitation of calcium carbonate. Pamukkale, which resembles a castle made of cotton, is visited by millions of tourists from all over the world every year, especially by tours from the Mediterranean region, including Istanbul and Alanya. In Pamukkale, 17 thermal springs have been identified. It is known that thermal waters with a temperature of about 30 degrees are good for various health problems such as rheumatism and skin diseases. Pamukkale was included in the UNESCO world heritage list in 1988. On our Pamukkale tour from Alanya, you can swim in the natural pools in the travertines and walk barefoot on them.
As in Alanya and the Mediterranean region, many civilizations have established cities in Pamukkale, which has been the favorite of many civilizations throughout history due to its healing waters. The most famous of these is the ancient city of Hierapolis with its ruins that have survived to the present day. The ancient city of Hierapolis, which was founded by the Pergamans in the 2nd century BC and means holy city, experienced its peak time during the Roman period. It is also rumored that Phillip, one of the apostles of Jesus, lived here, so it is an important religious center for Christians. The ruins of the ancient city of Hierapolis spread over a large area are open to visitors. Here, Necrolpolis (old cemetery), well-preserved open-air theater, agora (old market place) city gates, colonnaded streets are interesting old building ruins that can be seen.
On the upper part of the Pamukkale terraces, within walking distance, there is the famous Cleopatra Roman pool with thermal water. Inside the pool, there are fragments of columns and similar ancient stone structures that have been broken from the ancient city. Many legends are told that the thermal pool, where you can swim for a fee, is a source of healing and even that those who swim in the pool become younger.
