[2025 Pamukkale Attraction] Travel Guide for Cleopatra Antique Pools (Updated Jul)

#MarchGoodPlaces2025 The Antique Pool is located in the ruins of Hierapolis in Denizli Province, Turkey. In the pool, you can see many Greek-style broken beams and columns. These beams and columns collapsed in an earthquake in the seventh century and sank about 3 meters, forming a naturally gushing hot spring building. The hot spring pool is surrounded by towering trees and lush flowers and plants, which is really beautiful. The hot spring pool is emerald green in color, which is visually shocking. The Hierapolis ruins are quite large, and it is best to arrange a day to travel here so that you can see every corner of the area clearly without any regrets.

Cleopatra Pool must be included in the TO-DO list of places to visit in Pamukkale. As this landmark is very far from the nearest city, you need to arrange private transportation to get there or buy a half day tour which is quite popular. This tour will arrange round trip transportation in comfortable buses. The price for the pool is rather high. First you got to buy a ticket for the Pamukkale thermal pools and then for Cleopatra pools. The whole visit, including walking around and taking pictures should last between 1 to 2 hours. The water has such a beautiful light bluish-greenish shade, I though the pics about this place were photoshopped but in person you will see those true beautiful colours. #createwithtrip #turkey #holidays #exploring #createwithtrip

#springitinerary Nestled in the heart of southwestern Turkey, Pamukkale—meaning "Cotton Castle" in Turkish—is a surreal landscape where nature's artistry meets ancient history. Located in Denizli Province, this UNESCO World Heritage Site is renowned for its dazzling white travertine terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters cascading down the mountainside. What to See and Do Pamukkale Thermal Pools: Walk barefoot through the warm, milky-blue pools that have been sculpted over millennia. The calcium deposits create a cotton-like texture, making it one of the most photographed natural wonders in the world. Cleopatra’s Pool: Take a dip in this ancient thermal pool, where legend has it that Cleopatra herself bathed. The waters are rich in minerals, offering both relaxation and rejuvenation. Hierapolis Ancient City: Explore the ruins of this ancient Roman spa city, which includes a well-preserved theatre, the Temple of Apollo, and a vast necropolis. Hot Air Balloon Ride: For a unique perspective, consider a hot air balloon ride over Pamukkale at sunrise. The view of the terraces bathed in golden light is unforgettable. When to Visit The best times to visit Pamukkale are during the spring (April to June) and fall (September to October) when the weather is mild, and the terraces are less crowded. Summer months can be hot, so early morning visits are recommended to avoid the midday heat. Travel Tips Wear comfortable, water-friendly shoes or go barefoot to fully enjoy the thermal pools. Bring a waterproof bag for your belongings, as you may need to leave them at designated areas before entering the pools. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore the ancient ruins of Hierapolis, which are included in the Pamukkale ticket. Nearby Attractions Consider visiting the nearby Karahayit Hot Springs, known for their red-colored thermal waters, offering a different but equally relaxing experience. Where to Stay There are several accommodations near Pamukkale, ranging from boutique hotels to resorts. Many offer views of the terraces and easy access to the site. Conclusion Pamukkale is a destination that offers both natural beauty and historical intrigue. Whether you're soaking in the thermal pools, exploring ancient ruins, or simply enjoying the breathtaking views, Pamukkale promises an unforgettable experience. #Pamukkale #CottonCast

Come to Pamukkale, What interests me is Cleopatra’s pool in the ruins of the city. The hot spring pool on the terraces outside is not deep enough for swimming. So many foreign tourists come here, In addition to enjoying the beautiful scenery of the limestone terraces outside, You will also pay to swim in the pool. Here we can see the pillars of the temple that were damaged by the earthquake and fell into the swimming pool. Able to swim within thousand-year-old ruins, What a joyful thing it is! It's a pity that we didn't have time to enjoy it with the group... I could only look at it eagerly, take photos, and then go shopping elsewhere. The white terraces of Pamukkale form a limestone terrain, It is formed by hot spring water flowing through it for a long time. The range is beautiful. In order to protect natural resources, local governments strive to protect natural resources. Different areas are opened to tourists every year. Also in order to protect the geology from being damaged, It is stipulated that every visitor must take off their shoes before entering. There are security personnel stationed at the scene. But I still saw some tourists wearing socks. The limestone was a bit prickly and uncomfortable to step on at first. But after walking for a long time, you get used to it... Pamukkale is very large, and what makes me most regretful is that I haven’t visited all the ruins in the city!

| Soaking in the hot springs among the stone pillars~. We have arrived at Pamukkale, Turkey! The sun came out when we arrived, and the weather was warm and suitable for sightseeing🤩~ This time we did not choose to go to the Pamukkale hot springs, but went to the more special Cleopatra Pools♨. This hot spring is located in Pamukkale, Turkey, which was once known as Hierapolis. Moreover, this ancient city has been home to many famous historical figures and is now named Pamukkale. The name of the hot spring comes from the fact that Cleopatra is said to have bathed here centuries ago because the seawater here is warm and clear. This natural wonder has warm 'champagne water' rich in minerals, the water fills the pool, and has therapeutic effects👍. The biggest feature of Cleopatra Pools is swimming among the ancient pillars in the marble ruins⛲. And there are changing rooms and lockers for storing equipment. All in all, this is a must-visit destination in Turkey➡. 🎫Ticket: 33 Turkish Lira for two hours, including changing room; locker requires an additional payment of 5 lira. 💰Pool charge: Adult charge 50 lira (about 8.86 US dollars) / Children under 12 charge 20 lira (about 3.54 US dollars) / Children under 6 are free

| Belongs to the romance of Pamukkale. "Romantic Turkey" has always been my desired tourist destination, and Pamukkale is really beautiful. This trip discovered a new niche check-in spot - Cleopatra Pools♨, which is more beautiful than Pamukkale. Cleopatra Antique Pools are not as famous as the Pamukkale pools, many people don't even go to visit. But this is definitely a highlight. The ancient Roman city of Hierapolis was a healing hydrotherapy center for people. Although not large, it is very interesting➡ A 7th-century earthquake blew a large pit in the city center, the earthquake destroyed the magnificent pillars of this city and sank in the hot spring pool. There are also many fallen ruins in the pool, so don't show off your swimming skills, just soak. It is said that this antique swimming pool has a history of 2000 years, and the water quality is good, the skin is smooth after soaking🤩. Walking in the ancient city of Turkey under the scorching sun may feel irritable, just bring a swimsuit to soak, enjoy the beauty and rejuvenation hot spring of Cleopatra. The feeling is still very good~ ⏰Business hours: All day-24 hours 🎫Ticket price: 30 Turkish Lira ⌛Required time: About 2 hours

|Turkey Cleopatra Pools. This is a hot spring pool in the Pamukkale scenic area. The experience of soaking in a hot spring in a world heritage site certified by UNESCO is absolutely unique. Remember to bring your swimming gear when you go to Pamukkale. I didn't come here for the show 'Sisters Over Flowers', I came purely for the bath. You can visit and take pictures when you enter, but if you want to swim, you must buy a ticket. The ticket price is 50 lira per person, and there is an extra charge for storage. The guy at the door will tell you that his storage is more expensive, and there are cheaper large boxes inside, only 5 lira. There is a dedicated dressing room, the conditions are quite good. No items, including mobile phones, are allowed in the water. The water temperature is very good, and there is a water outlet for massage. The bottom of the water is the stone pillars and stones of ancient relics. Because they are soaked in water, they are very slippery. Be careful when passing by. The service attitude is very average, but such a special bath is worth a visit. It is said that the hot spring water here maintains a constant temperature of about 35 degrees all year round. The deepest part is more than 5 meters. The ruins at the bottom of the hot spring water are genuine ancient Roman sites. There are not many people coming here in winter, and the water in the pool looks quite clean. The ticket price is also higher than before. If you don't soak in the hot springs, you can also stroll around and eat inside.
