Description

This tour enables you to combine history and nature as you drive to Pamukkale (the Cotton Castle). This uniquely beautiful and spectacular natural site will make you feel like you're in a fairytale with the dazzling white petrified cascades surrounding thermal spring water laden with carbonate minerals. The cascades plunging down the mountainside have created this natural formation of stalactites, cataracts and basins. The thermal water has been used since the Roman period for its therapeutic powers. You will visit the Roman city of Hieropolis. In Hieropolis you will see the Temples of Apollo and Delphi, a 4th Century Basilica called Monumental Nymphaeum and the Theatre. After visiting the well-preserved Necropolis, return to Kusadasi or Izmir. Lunch is included with this tour.
