What to see

The water is clear and warm all year; marble columns and capitals lie on the bottom where an earthquake left them.

An hour or two; bring swimwear and a towel.

The pool has its own ticket on top of the Hierapolis entry and is run separately; prices and hours were not read from a primary source.

Getting there

Inside the Hierapolis–Pamukkale site, in the middle of the ancient city.
