You can make your holiday on the Turkish Riviera special with a trip to the ancient city of Hierapolis<\/strong>, which, together with the magnificent natural phenomenon Pamukkale<\/a><\/strong>, is on the UNESCO list. Even if you lose a day of lounging by the sea, I definitely recommend visiting these two places. In this guide “Hierapolis, Turkey: Best Things to Do and See in the Ancient City near Pamukkale” I will share what to visit and how to make the most of your trip.<\/p>\n\n

When I set off on the trip, I didn’t have any high expectations. But both Hierapolis and Pamukkale took my breath away. I set off early in the morning from Side<\/a><\/strong> and the journey definitely took about three hours, but when I returned late in the evening, I was absolutely captivated and satisfied. <\/p>\n\n

        <\/span>Hierapolis: Basic Information<\/span><\/h2>\n\n

        Hierapolis is an ancient town<\/strong>, located in southwestern Turkey<\/a><\/strong>, in Denizli province. In its immediate vicinity, you’ll find the magnificent Pamukkale<\/strong>, boasting its limestone pools. <\/p>\n\n

        The name Hierapolis translates to \u201cHoly City\u201d<\/strong> and was built above the travertine terraces of Pamukkale, above the Lycus River valley. Today, you can admire the preserved monuments that have survived wars and massive earthquakes. <\/p>\n\n

        <\/span>Getting there and Tickets<\/span><\/h3>\n\n

        The easiest way to get to Hierapolis is as part of an organized tour<\/strong>, whether from a travel agency or the travel portal GetYourGuide<\/a><\/strong>. However, it’s not impossible to visit on your own. Just get to the nearby city of Denizli, which has bus connections from almost all tourist resorts. <\/p>\n\n

        Entrance to the ancient city and adjacent Pamukkale costs 200 TRY<\/strong>, which is approximately 145 CZK. For an additional fee, you can swim in Cleopatra’s Antique Pool. <\/p>\n\n
