El trayecto desde Antalya hasta Pamukkale fue un poco largo, ¡pero valió absolutamente cada segundo! Los travertinos blancos parecen una montaña cubierta de nieve, y las aguas son muy curativas. El teatro de Hierápolis fue simplemente impresionante.

Nuestro guía dio información increíble sobre la historia de Hierápolis y la Necrópolis. Caminar descalzos sobre los travertinos fue una sensación maravillosa. El restaurante donde almorzamos estaba limpio y la comida estaba deliciosa.

Nos recogieron puntualmente en nuestro hotel. Nuestro conductor manejó con mucha seguridad; el viaje no nos cansó en absoluto. Tener las entradas al museo incluidas en el precio del tour es una gran comodidad; no esperamos en las filas de la entrada.

Un lugar paradisíaco para los amantes de la fotografía. Tanto los travertinos como las ruinas de la antigua ciudad parecen postales. También encontramos productos de muy alta calidad durante la pausa para compras textiles; los precios eran bastante razonables.

Pamukkale y Hierápolis son sin duda lugares maravillosos. Sin embargo, como el trayecto de ida y vuelta desde Antalya suma más de 6 horas en total dentro del vehículo, nos sentimos un poco cansados al final del día.
