The 15 Best Pamukkale Day Trips from Antalya

47 tours  ·  ★★★★★★★★★★ 4.6 average  ·  from $34

It is roughly three hours each way to the white terraces and the ruined city above them, so the tour decides most of the day. These 15 compare departure times, how long you actually stand on the travertines, whether Cleopatra’s pool is included, and what lunch looks like.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 2,188 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $84Our pick

Pamukkale and Hierapolis day trip from Antalya with guided ruins, travertine terraces, Turkish lunch, and time near Cleopatra’s Pool.

“Our tour guide Chill and bus driver Dawood made the long trip to Pamukkale so much better, with their warmth and knowledge of the region. Thanks to them the long journey from Antalya to Pamukkale, surprisingly wasn't as tiring. We stopped an hour from Antalya for breakfast since we had left very early in the morning. We then stopped at an Zultanite showroom and from there, very close to the showroom, was our lunch stop. Which turned out to be a very lavish buffet, overseeing beautiful gardens and fields. After lunch we went to Pamukkale and Hieropolis. Both are in the same vicinity. Pamukkale is on the slopes and we…”

Pamukkale and Hierapolis full-day tour from Antalya with hotel pickup, lunch, and museum entry, plus travertine and pool time.

“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…”

9.Pamukkale Day Trip w/ Optional Hot Air Balloon

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 247 reviews · 14 to 17 hours (approx.) · from $36

Pre-dawn bus from Antalya or Belek to Pamukkale, with cotton castle, Hierapolis, and an optional hot air balloon plus included lunch.

“I did reasonably extensive research on the best way to do hot air balloons in Turkey Pamukkale vs Cappadocia. We came to this choice as the price & experience seemed too good to say no too. To all readers of my review, please take this advice - it’s worth spending more to do hot air balloon elsewhere for a higher price at Cappradocia. Or instead try drive yourself to it. The first issue is sleep deprivation. The pick up is anywhere between 12:30am to 1:40am leaving you with a choice to get a bit of sleep before departure or stay awake. We chose to have a few hours sleep beforehand…”

“The trip was amazing. I didn't have any complaint with the visit. The place is beautiful and enjoyable. The minibus was comfortable, even though the long distance, I didn't feel it too bored. Time passed really fast. The only thing I didn't like was that when we come back from the tour the guide asked for tips for the driver to the first two guys they dropped off... The guys gave to the driver 15 Turkish lira and the driver got too upset due to the low tips (on his consideration) and he decided to get back the tip to them. I think this was too disgusting. People should be…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 106 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $90

Early morning Pamukkale tour from Antalya with guide, UNESCO Hierapolis and travertines, lunch, and pickup. Cleopatra Pools not included.

“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.”

“The trip went according to plan. However, I think that the travel description should state that the ticket to Pamukkale and the pool costs about 31 eur, it is necessary to pay in cash to guide. I would also like to point out that there is no drive to Denizlis and it not visiting (you eat at the approaches to the city and drive on).”

“The instructions by the organisers were really bad. We were asked to wait outside the main gate, which we did for about 45 minutes. 45 minutes later,the hotel told us that someone came and left from main door. We had to creats a fuss to be taken back on trip as it wasn’t our fault at all. They were not even picking up phone when we tried to ring them.”
