Kusadasi, Turkey

We have been in Kusadasi in 2023 and visited Ephesus at that time. For today, we booked a private tour for 4 to Pamukkale.

Pamukkale, meaning "cotton castle," is a natural site in southwestern Turkey famous for its white travertine terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that includes the ancient Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis, with ruins like a well-preserved theater and necropolis.

The drive one way was 2.5 hours. In Greco-Roman city we hired a golf cart to take us around. That safe us a lot of walking and time.

After visiting city, it’s only a short buggy ride to Pamukkale. I went into the water, but the surface was extremely slippery and I decided not to risk to go any further. I probably walked not mor then 10meters.
After that we visited small, but very good archeological museum.

By now it was 1:00PM and we drove to a restaurant for lunch. Cannot say it was very good.

Upon returning to the port, we went for a walk to see all the genuine fake they sell.

Back to the ship for a dinner.Read more
