Tours in Pamukkale

General Information of Pamukkale

Pamukkale is a region known for its imposing natural formation of limestone and travertine, known as the Cotton Castle and its proximity to Hierapolis, an ancient Roman settlement located within the same enclosure where we find the Castle, which preserves important ancient buildings and archaeological ruins. .

If you visit Pamukkale you can explore the travertines barefoot, or fly over them in a balloon, and even immerse yourself in the pool that Cleopatra VII used to stay young and healthy. 

Visit Pamukkale

Pamukkale's high season is between May and October, so we recommend that you take these months into account if you want to enjoy long and hot days.

Keep in mind that Pamukkale is a destination that attracts the attention of thousands of travelers, so we recommend that you go to visit the Cotton Castle and the thermal pools very early or in the last hours that the enclosure is open. That way, you will avoid crowds.

What to Eat and Drink in Pamukkale

In Pamukkale you will find a very good gastronomic offer to enjoy the typical dishes of Ottoman cuisine in beautiful environments and with beautiful views.

One of the dishes that we recommend you try is: borek, a meal made with puff pastry, stuffed with cheese, spinach or meat.

Also, we recommend you try raki, an anise drink that is often served with water and ice. Or, if you fancy something hot, the famous Turkish tea, which is a tradition of yesteryear.

For dessert you can't miss the baklava, a cake made with pistachios or walnuts, filo dough, and honey or syrup, definitely, a must-see of Turkish culture.
