Overview
We combined your Pamukkale tour with a Hot air Balloon flight. This unique combination will take you deep into ancient history and offer you the opportunity to experience the ancient city at sunrise with a hot air balloon.
You will first watch and photograph the ancient city and Cotton Castle from your hot air balloon, and then you will explore it by taking a long walk.
Those who wish can then take a swimming break in the hot thermal water of Cleopatra Pool.
Deriving from springs in a cliff almost 200 m high overlooking the plain, calcite-laden waters have created at Pamukkale (Cotton Palace) an unreal landscape, made up of mineral forests, petrified waterfalls and a series of terraced basins. At the end of the 2nd century B.C. the dynasty of the Attalids, the kings of Pergamon, established the thermal spa of Hierapolis. The ruins of the baths, temples and other Greek monuments can be seen at the site.
