Pamukkale’s bright-white terraces are unquestionably one of Turkey’s most photographed sights, glittering incongruously above the rural town like newly fallen snow. The ancient spa city of Hierapolis, whose huge ruins sprawl out along the hilltop close to the famous travertines, was founded on the warm mineral water that runs through them. Pamukkale, one of the best places to go in Turkey for families, is also a wonderful starting point for seeing surrounding ancient monuments such as Laodicea, Tripolis, and, most notably, the beautiful ruins of Afrodisias, which house an extraordinary collection of Roman marble statues, that is what we call the best of Pamukkale.
Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is a popular tourist site in Turkey that continues to welcome visitors. Those who visit Pamukkale from all over the world, drawing visitors with their cultural and historical riches, get the opportunity to experience the natural wonders. Visitors can walk amid white travertines and historical ruins while relaxing in the “Cleopatra Pool,” an ancient pool with a year-round temperature of 36 degrees Celsius.
In the region, hot air ballooning and paragliding provide additional opportunities to see the distinctive scenery from the sky – the best of Pamukkale. Between January 1 and March 18, 2020, 151,268 people visited Pamukkale. Entrances were closed from March 19 to June 1 due to the outbreak. Between January 1st and April 30th of last year, 100,145 people visited Pamukkale.

240,883 travelers visited over the same period this year. 34,220 individuals visited the region between April 30th and May 4th, when the Eid al-Fitr vacation began. The number of tourists this year has delighted travelers, according to Gazi Murat Sen, head of the Denizli TouristIc Hotel and Operators Association.
Stating that they are targeting 2 million tourists by the end of the year, Sen stated:
“We believe that we can easily meet this goal. The guests staying with us are mainly guests from South America and the Far East. As of now, tourists from Europe have also started. This year we will have a season in Pamukkale that does not make 2019 look good. We hope that we can rise above the 2019 figures.”
