Pamukkale is an area located in the region of Denizli. The place of interest on the Bodrum to Pamukkale tour is the spectacular landscape of the protruding mountain. ‘Pamukkale’, in Turkish means ‘cotton castle’ and it’s named this because of it’s white cotton-like appearance.

The white coating on the mountain is in fact calcium, which over thousands of years has flowed down the mountainside and solidified, forming pools in which mineral enriched thermal water sits.

The thermal water comes out of the mountain at around 33-36 degrees. It is these thermal water filled pools that entice visitors from all over the world to see Pamukkale. We can aid you in visiting Pamukkale from Bodrum on our daily tour

There are 3 main attractions in Pamukkale. The thermal travertines, Hieropolis City and Cleopatra’s pool.

Thermal Travertines – Visitors can walk all the way down the mountainside through the thermal water pools. The water looks as blue as the sky against the white background of the mountainside. This is probably the most recognised part of the Pamukkale tour from Bodrum.

Cleopatra’s Pool –  Guests can swim in the pool of natural thermal water which is full of minerals. The pool is filled with the same thermal water that cascades down the mountain. Although Cleopatra’s pool lies in the Pamukkale grounds, you can’t gain access to it without paying an extra entrance fee. It is optional to swim in the pool.

Hieropolis City-  It’s an ancient Greek city that was built on top on the Pamukkale mountain. Many ruins remain intact including the great Amphitheatre, which will excite history buffs. You can access all areas of the ruined city having paid the Bodrum to Pamukkale tour fee. There are also 2 small museums on site which have a separate entrance fees.

The approximate age of the mountain itself is around 14,000 years old! But it has been a tourist attraction for over 2000 years. The city of Hierapolis was built by Appollo during the Hellenistic period and then passed to the Romans in around the 1st century BC. It was then destroyed by an earthquake in the 1st century AD and was rebuilt with the addition of a grand library and gymnasium. The Bodrum to Pamukkale day tour is a popular choice amongst tourists in Bodrum.

It peaked as a tourist destination in around the 3rd century AD where it was used as a luxury spa centre. The enriched mineral water is said to have healing properties and the rich and sick used to frequent Cleopatra’s pool. Which was then a lavish pool enclosed by a temple of ornate columns. Many of these columns are either still standing or have fallen into the water.
