Antalya · PAMUKKALE & HIERAPOLIS

The 15 Best Pamukkale Day Trips from Antalya

46 tours  ·  from $34 a head

Pamukkale is three hours inland, so this is a dawn pickup and a very long day. These 15 are compared on time actually spent on the terraces, whether Hierapolis and the antique pool are included, and what the shopping stop costs you in daylight.

Review of Antalya’s full-day Pamukkale tour, covering the travertines, Hierapolis, lunch, transport, costs, and practical tips.

“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…”

“Great guide Osman had a blast with him today. Really informative and caring. The trip was really nice in Pamukkale but it is a long drive so consider that when booking. We had to wake up at 2am to be picked up 2:45am and drive over 3 hrs. Despite that when we got on the Balloon and were up in the air it all felt worth. It's pricy but you really couldn't do this in a more affordable way really. The ancient city was really great as well and the pools were the cherry on top! in terms of meals breakfast was good enough but lunch was a really good…”

“If you're looking for an unforgettable hot air balloon experience, a ride with Kadir at Pamukkale is an absolute must! From start to finish, the adventure was smooth, breathtaking, and beyond magical. Kadir is an excellent pilot, knowledgeable, friendly. The early morning views of Pamukkale's white terraces and the surrounding landscapes were mesmerizing, and the serenity of floating through the sky was unlike anything I've ever experienced. Kadir made sure we felt safe and comfortable throughout, giving us the perfect balance of excitement and relaxation. His commentary on the history and geography of the region added an extra layer of appreciation for the stunning scenery. Watching the sun...”

Review of the 12-hour Pamukkale tour from Antalya, with Hierapolis, travertines, lunch, pickup, costs, tips, and honest drawbacks.

“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.”
