Very authentic place to swim. Always 36deg. You should bring your towel, swimsuit + bag for wet items. Too crowded in summer, very good in October-November or February-March
We were in Pamukkale in very cool weather, so the opportunity to swim in warm water, naturally warmed up, was a special pleasure. Not to say that the pool is very large, if the weather were better and there were more people, it would be very crowded. There are remnants of columns and stones at the bottom - it's atmospheric, but you need to move carefully so as not to accidentally bump into each other. Floats separate a place where it is really deep and there carbon dioxide rises through the water column in streams of bubbles, enveloping and tickling- that's where I hung most of the time, the water temperature there is higher than in the main shallow zone and the feeling of bubbles is wonderful.
The staff is walking around, fishing for something with nets - but still the water is not perfectly clean, yes. Garbage does not float, but the fibers of some plants are present in the water.
Entrance is paid.
There are changing rooms and a toilet.
There is a luggage storage room - it is free, but you need to pay a certain refundable deposit for the key.
There is a place for slippers and towels directly at the entrance to the pool.
To complete a long walk through the ancient city and travertines with a swim is wonderfully pleasant, I recommend it to everyone)
important! Check the opening hours of all museums and so on in third-party services. We read about it in Yandex around the clock, friends who came before us wrote about 17:30. But they didn't let us in at 17:05 (I take pictures after some conversation). That is, you explain that you drove for 4 hours with the children, back the same amount in the dark. We understand the risks of a short stay, which closes after 30 minutes - suits us. They were not allowed in, saying that another office sells tickets at the entrance, and the employees there are not aware of how their schedule is changing😡🤷🏻♀️
Hierapolis itself and the terraces with springs are beautiful. I don't regret coming. The review is specifically for Cleopatra's baths.
