Pamukkale & Hierapolis Skip-the-Line Tickets + Audio Guide
About this tour
This ticket gets you past the ticket line at Pamukkale, the calcium-white terraces in southwestern Turkey that look like a frozen waterfall, and into the adjoining ancient city of Hierapolis. You'll walk barefoot across the warm mineral pools and wander the old streets, gates, baths, and the Roman theater above the cliffs. A self-guided audio tour comes with it, activated instantly and usable offline once downloaded, so you can move at your own pace.
