Hierapolis ancient theater

Mentioned on 
Amphitheater
Concerts & Shows
The Pamukkale Amphitheater is an awe-inspiring historical site filled with rich heritage, legacies and impressive speeches. It is recommended to tour the area using a golf cart and capturing numerous photographs. The ancient amphitheater itself is a sight to behold, one of great magnificence. Optimal timing for visiting would be slightly before sunset when the view becomes even more captivating.
Amazing ancient amphitheater. Best time to visit is a bit before sunset.

What a stunning theatre! It was very complete and original compared to many that we have seen around Europe. This theatre is underrated in our opinion. It was a steep walk from the travertines, but there were other things to see along the way. It's definitely worth the visit.

The best amphitheatre I have ever seen. İt was almost empty when we visited so we had it to ourselves and it was spectacular. Still in very good condition. Amazing to sit and close your eyes and think that you were actually sat within Roman empire history. Definitely recommend coming to see here when you visit Denizli, you won't be disappointed. Perfect photo opportunities too 10/10

Amazingly preserved theatre at Hierapolis UNESO heritage site. Though initially constructed around reign of Hadrian in 60 AD, theatre has been extended and transformed it existing shape during later years. However it collapsed due to earthquake in 7th century. Even in its historic arrangements, it was able to seat 15,000 spectators. It must have been used for multiple sports, cultural and imperial activities. It was heavily restored in 2004 To 2014 but still it has more than 90% actual settings. It’s a must visit place in Turkey Tour.

One of the iconic place in turkey. If you are planning to visit Turkey Pamukkale should be in your list this old theater is giving you amazing historical view along the old Town. There is also a museum there where old coins and stones are there both covered and open museum are present. It's near to hot water spring you can visit this place in a same day. You can get a flight from İstanbul to Denizli and then by taxi you can reach here.

Very beautifull at sunset time. You can see a very very breathaking view. Unfortunetly there's no shadow on the way there and the climb, although not that steep, can be exhausting on a hot summer day. But it is well worth it, as the ruins are in a good condition and the view from that last steps is great. I would have loved to see an ancient play performed here.

Carved into the hills surrounding the ancient city the great Roman Theater is truly one of the most stunning elements of the Hierapolis Archaeological Site. Its stunning architecture, friezes, and location make it one of the best-preserved theaters in Turkey. At its peak, it would have had a seating capacity of over 10,000 people. While there was also a suburban theater that has been nearly completely destroyed by earthquakes, it is this main central theater that encompasses the majesty of this once prosperous ancient city. Excavation of the theater began in 1957 by the Italian Archaeological Mission and in 1988 the Hierapolis-Pamukkale Archaeological Site was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The theater went under an extensive restoration project by the Italian Archaeological Mission from 2009-20013 with funding from the Turkish Ministry of Culture. The beautiful stage that visitors can take in is the result of their efforts. As it stands today, the current stage is mostly the original stone pieced together with modern stabilizers and replicas of the original sculptures contained in the Hierapolis Archaeology Museum.

So incredible, definitely worth visiting, we were blown away. Add it to your trip for sure. If it is a hot day go in the early am, we went at 6:30 am to avoid the heat and we also beat the crowds. In the afternoon you can't even find a parking spot.

The local hotels have used too much of the water and this attraction does not look like the pictures you see. There are no blue pools. The ruins are interesting, but I didn’t think it was worth the price of admission.

It’s not a huge park but tiny, quiet and good to take a walk around the pond. There’s one island in the middle of the pond, many geese take a rest there. Rent a duck boat is 6TL for 10mins. It was nice! 👍🏼🦆
SoYa TR — Google review
A quiet place to stroll in the city, they have cheap boats available to go around the lake, it is nice to take a walk and get your feet wet with the water of Pamukkale. The site is very clean and well maintained and the photos are beautiful. There is only one thing I didn't like, and that is that everybody feeds bread to the ducks, but ducks don't normally eat bread because it hurts their guts🙂
Wandering Trotters — Google review
One of the best places in Turkey! Although not as famous as other destinations, its surely as stunning as the rest, if not more! The park itself is breathtaking. Unlike anything I've ever seen. Its taken really good care of. You have to take of your shoes and socks and walk barefoot up the 'cotton' mountain. But be aware, its not really cotton check the photos im uploading. The floor is very rough and at some points painful to step on, but thats the beauty of the place. Its so Natural and untouched. The water is remarkable as well. I went in early November and the weather was perfect. Many paragliding companies offer trip over the beautiful city to enhance the experience as well. Would highly recommend paragliding over the city. Also great ruins behind the mountain to see.
Tariq Shahrouri — Google review
We came there around 1 pm, so we got lucky when we found a parkingspot at the bottom of the attraction. You pay before you enter, there is a point where you can wash your feet, since you have to take of you shoes. Remember to bring lots of water as it can be very sunny and hot. The place is rather crowdy, especially on the way up, so do enjoy the view and peace when you get up. You could easily spend a full day here, since there are antique thermal pools and archeological sites. At the top of the hills there is a resting spot with a café but there are also a park if you want to bring a pre-packed lunch. Overall a great day trip from Antalaya.
Promila Bhattacharya — Google review
Pamukkele, Turkey. Well worth a visit. It cost 80tl to enter, although you can buy a 60tl ticket which gives you year long access to Turkish museums and parks including Pamukkele, so make sure you get that ticket, not the one time ticket. You have to remove you shoes and socks before climbing. A trifle cold in winter. The water that created the formation is warm so the pools nearer the top are warmish and a nice relief from the cold. At the top of the hill is the ancient city of Hierapolis which can be explored at leisure.

At foothills of the pamukkale this is a nice park with a lake in the middle full of ducks and swans and good to enjoy boat rides . Cafes have tea, snacks and ice creams. Park is full of flowers and trees and you can find smell of lavender filling the air near the lake

Kaklık Mağarası ve Yüzme Havuzu

Mentioned on 
Kaklık Mağarası ve Yüzme Havuzu is a remarkable underground cave with an outdoor swimming pool located in an industrial area. The cave is accessible via a long flight of stairs and features stunning mini travertines. Visitors are advised to bring their own vehicle as the location may be hard to reach otherwise. The entrance fee is TL10 per person, and the circular path through the cave can be walked quickly.
Really beautiful place! It can replace travertines in pamukkale. Blue lakes, travertines - I am wordless. PS you should take flip-flops with you, all of the bridges are in water.
Dina lovesyou — Google review
Great little place to visit, as it’s only 20 lira, and it’s a mini underground Pamukkale. The outside needs some TLC, as the pond is dirty, the pool is no longer in use and dirty and some wooden rails need replacement as they are quite loose. Other than that, the place is magnificent and enchanted. You’ll be walking basically in the water, so be mindful of that.

The cave smelled foul and neglected, and we could not enter it, as we felt suffocated. It's big and needed attention and maintenance.

I went 5 years ago. It is a wonderful place of nature. There was a bit of a rotten egg smell. It's probably due to the sulfur in the cave.
İsmail Poyraz — Google review
Wow, what an amazing place. So beautiful and tranquil. Unfortunately the pools were empty so we weren't able to swim, but it was still worth the visit for the cave. Facilities were clean, but you need to take your own toilet paper. Definately worth the drive.

Absolutely loved it! A fantastically well preserved natural cave, with a translucent and magical stream. The lighting brought out the richness and variety of colours.
beatrizsombrerito — Google review
This enchanting destination is a true paradise for adventure seekers and nature enthusiasts alike. From the moment you step foot into this mystical place, you are transported into a world of wonder and awe. Stepping into the cave, you are immediately captivated by the ethereal beauty that surrounds you. The air is cool and refreshing, carrying with it a hint of the earthy aroma of moss and dampness. The cave is adorned with stunning stalagmites, creating a natural spectacle that seems almost otherworldly. The glistening water that flows through the cave forms shimmering pools and cascades, adding an element of tranquility to the already mesmerizing surroundings. Exploring the Hidden Cave is an absolute delight. As you wander deeper into its depths, you can't help but feel a sense of excitement and wonder. The cave reveals hidden chambers and passageways, each unveiling new breathtaking sights. With every step, the play of light and shadow on the cave walls creates a sense of mystery and intrigue.

Underground cave with flowing water over the limestone travertine deposits gives a unique, somewhat eerie feel. There is an elevated pathway to walk in a loop (descending steps followed by ascending to reach back at the top). The water flowing over the pathway is bound to get your shoes wet, so remove them at the top and go bear footed as we did or wear flip flops. There is a distinct smell of sulphur (rotten eggs) as you enter the area - minor inconvenience that you need to put up with. There is a pond near the entrance with small turtles. It may take a while to spot them but once you do you will find hundreds of them. He sure to enjoy them.
Sa Sh — Google review
It is not that big place but a good one. You go downstairs into the cave. But you should bring slippers with you. The ground is mostly wet and if you want to walk through you also can get wet. And also I should mention that it has a terrible smell, unfortunately.

It’s a nice quaint piece of nature in the middle of an industrial area. Visiting it if you have your own vehicle would be more convenient as it seems to be out of the way. Nice to see the mini travertines here in the cave. When we went the prices have increased to TL10 per person already.

A 30 min x 2 detour (there ans back) on the way to / from Pamukkale thermal pools via Denizli. Short walk from the car park but step carefully to avoid getting your feet wet. The circular path through the cave is quite short so this is a fairly quick stop.
Jacques Pretorius — Google review
The place was abandoned, you can enter and visit the cave freely. But there is no place for swimming that pools were empty. Water was so healthy that you can easily smell the sulphur. I definitely recommend this cave it's like Pamukkale located in the cave.

It's half past 1 in the morning and I'm hearing - talking from the next room, every conversation every sexy nosie, not stopped since 10pm so annoying. Luckily there is a stuff in the reception and he helped me with this issue. - deep music beats from far outside, not sure where that came from, non stop since evening - earlier I can hear clearly noisy from hallway - you can hear toilet flashing so clearly and it's not from your own room Rest of the room is fine.

Location The location is perfect, 10-12 minutes away from the center of Pamukkale and the below view of the "cotton fortress." Staff The owner and his staff are extremely friendly and helpful. He took our booking on short notice and ushered us to a freshly cleaned room. Room The poolside room would have received four stars - to small for five (not that you'll spend much time inside) - had it been painted more recently and with a newer, silent fridge. But the condition of a very nice pool and the pool area indicates they're investing, so this single objection may be history by next year. Aside from that, the room and the bathroom were spotlessly clean, the air-conditioner worked perfectly and the front terrace offers a fine relaxation area. Pool And the pool is great, large enough for a bit of swimming and cool even in the Pamukkale heat. The breakfast was basic but delicious and totally adequate. Recommendations A paint job and better lighting would take the room into the next category. Everything else was great at the price range. Thank you!

I paid for a larger room with double bed but they gave me a very small room in the basement. The floor is dirty, there's no space and you think where to put your things and clothes. Very bad noise isolation, you hear everything outside. And constant noise from bathroom, probably from ventilation system that you hear all the night. I traveled a lot in Turkey but this is one of the worst places. Avoid. Never again here. The only good thing is that I booked for 1 night.

And it was not expensive at all...

Super cold draft beer, excellent sauteed chicken liver and delicious appetizers on the house. It's perhaps the most charming restaurant in town in terms of decor. The manager Ali was very friendly, explaining to us that the place started out as a wine bar but eventually became a restaurant. Thumbs up! I'll come back end October to taste local wine.

We went searching for Kayas Wine House based on the positive reviews, and the recommendations were spot on. We initially went for lunch and enjoyed the meal so much we went again for dinner to try some more options. Their Adana Kebab and Mixed Grill were the best items we had, everything was so flavourful and served on a sizzling plate with a burner. The picture is the beefsteak option, which was also good but the other items were better. Their buttery rice was delicious, as well as the bread and minty yoghurt dip. Finally, their hospitality cannot be beaten, some of the best service we experienced during our whole trip, and the 2 golden retrievers that walk around keeping the patrons company were an added bonus, Pamuk and her son. Highly recommend Kayas and the Adana kebab here is a must-try dish.
Mahendra Fernando — Google review
Easily the best restaurant in Pamukkale. The vibe here is warm and cozy. Staff were very friendly and accommodating to serving us a delicious meal. Our Adana Kebab was perfect and probably the best I’ve had in Turkey. We loved how it was served with a live flame and every bite was just perfect. They had Efes on tap and it was a nice touch with our meal. We will definitely be back next time. And watch out for the two sweet dogs who greet you on the way in!

This is a typical medium standard, family owned, public restaurant. The worst thing about here is that there are two dogs inside the restaurant's terrace and when you eat they come and disturb you to get food. Next thing is thst prices are for tourists, i mean higher that it should be. Be careful the waiters take order but they do it wrong or forget some of your order. Normally they bring your order fast. The good thing about this place is that compared to most of the restaurants around, this place have better ambiance and taste. Stuff seems caring (but tiredof working). Apart from this there is nothing special. Just, eat, drink, chat and leave...

Garson Şükrü Aile Restaurant is a top pick for dining in Turkey. The sucuk sausage and tatar appetizers were delicious, and the adana kebab and urfa kebab entrees were equally tasty with generous sides. The service was exceptional, offering Turkish tea throughout the meal. The staff, especially Hasan, provided great recommendations and made the experience special. The lamb was perfectly cooked, and the bread and dried roasted peppers in yogurt were highlights.
Nicest selection of ingredients meets the good quality of service. Absolutely a great choice. Lemon meat, is a must try. Simple but perfectly balanced. Salads are common quality and doesn’t really have anything to surprise you from any other good restaurant. Desserts has room for improvement. Prices are above average. If you are seeking for a good price/value balance, ask the waiter what do they suggest as fresh on the day. Parking is available for free.

Best restaurant I’ve been to in the past week I’ve been visiting Turkey. We ordered the sucuk sausage and tatar for appetizers and they were DELICIOUS. Ordered adana kebab and urfa kebab for entrees and they were also very tasty. The entree plates had enough little sides for me to be extremely full by the end of the meal. The service was amazing, they brought Turkish tea once after appetizers and then another time at the end of the meal. We didn’t get to try the desserts because we were very full by then. Highly recommend this restaurant!

We were given starters letting to believe they are free and could only have one. Then we got charged for four starters at 150 tl each. We only seen the main course prices and got a total surprise that the starters came to twice the price of the main course. We liked the meal but left to feel really ripped off. We would never return nor recommend this place. You pay for everything that is put on your table without even have asked for it.charged for table service. Food is nice but there are better places, better and more honestly priced than this one.

Other than seeing the cotton castle itself which was exquisite, having dinner here was one of the best and most memorable experiences we have had!! A simple family run restaurant, with amazing homemade style food in huge portions along with a unique experience of genuine Turkish hospitality! Special kudos to the host for an unforgettable experience!! Thoroughly enjoyed!!

We had a wonderful time in this restaurant. The service was impeccable and it was nothing like we experienced before. They gave us free snacks and drinks as well at the end. The food was also very nice and had big portion sizes. It was a very good environment and we would recommend it to anyone. 👍👍👍

A wonderful surprise in Pamukkale! Delicious food, tea, coffee and the best service I've experienced in Turkey so far 💙 (and in restaurants in general!) They even offered us complimentary apple tea with chocolate. We came today for breakfast, came back for dinner, and will certainly come back for more tomorrow! The most adorable family owned restaurant I've been to, totally give it a try!

I was initially skeptical about this place, thinking that it must be ‘too good to be true’. Every review I’ve read here is only positive, and I wasn’t sure about the need to reserve for a small restaurant. But I was truly blown away. My dinner here was one of the most memorable experiences throughout my entire trip in Turkey. Absolutely LOVE this place. Amazing friendly service, prices were low, and food came in big portions. I’d highly recommend anyone visiting Pammukkale that this is the only restaurant to try.

Great restaurant with nice ambience and very delicious food. Everything was so tasteful and big portions for the price. They gave us a large selection of Turkish sauces to try with the French fries and the homemade dressing for the salad. Also they gave us courtesy tea or coffee at the end of our meal. Highly recommended!

The waiter was warm and helped set up a variety of cutlery and 25 sauces just for fries. The seller was the food for sure. The chicken plate with rice tasted like a Spanish paella, wet with tomato base and generous chunks of chicken. A definite favorite. Lamb sish was well roasted as well with huge portions of vegetables. Overall, a memorable stop after traveling at the tourist attractions.

Little family run restaurant, however, it might be the best restaurant in Turkey. The owner is super friendly, the service was perfect, and the pan lamb was so delicious. We were also treated by some free tea and light deserts after the meal. Everything was perfect.

You SHOULD definitely stop by when visiting Pamukkale. The food was excellent (finally we've found some decent spaghetti 🍝). On top of that, the service was beyond expectation (the best I ever experienced during my trip in Turkey till now). I want to thank you again for your hospitality.

came across this restaurant on google and the reviews sold me! reservations are compulsory and I did it through google. they responded straight away! we arrived and the service was OUTSTANDING. the gentleman who served us was kind, polite and helpful. the menu was clear and concise, not too overcrowded. they asked if we wanted the drinks to be served at the same time as the food which is always a plus point! food and ice cream was delicious and we were given an array of 25 condiments! delicious sauces that i’ve never seen before, all laid out accordingly. we were given complimentary teas, croissants, chocolates and water bottles to go! I have never been so impressed. the prices were really good. altogether for two people the bill came up to roughly £15. fantastic restaurant, amazing hospitality. definitely recommend to all visiting in the area. thank you team!

It’s not just a restaurant, it’s an experience being in a family restaurant and with a genuine Turkish hospitality. It’s rare to find a place like this. The gentleman who welcomed us was super kind, very friendly and they made and amazing night for us. Food was so delicious. Portions are huge and prices in comparison with other restaurants around was way cheaper. They brought us so many sauces and after the meal brought gifts and free welcoming sweets ( Ikram ) The environment is warm and cozy. I highly recommend it.

The best dining experience in Turkey! The host was very attentive and friendly! We enjoyed cooling air on the very hot day. Special thanks for food quality and many complementaries on the house - it’s not often that the bill at the end is less than you expected 🙂

Reviews are spot on, this is real!! I’m only sorry we did not come our first night so we could just eat here every night. The food was delicious. The main dishes come with a large salad, the hottest freshest moist but perfect on the outside French fries, rice, roaster small red and green pepper and good flat bread. The service is amazing. They are very professional and extremely generous with service, water, tea and tasty nuts and little chocolates. We had one main meal and the green beans. They brought out pickles and a couple of other things and so many condiments/sauces. I have never seen that many!! We had a coffee or latte cake, it was very good. I’m very picky so when I give a good review, believe me it’s was so worth it. We were very lucky to have come. I thought it was very odd that you have to reserve but I say before you get here do yourself a favor and reserve, eat here and don’t go anywhere else. It also has the best prices for the portions and quality of what you get. We did two other places and I can say don’t bother this is by far the best price and best food and service. Look at the photos posted here and that is what you get. Don’t be scared of the prices because it worked out to be less expensive than anywhere else at the end of the day. I have not been impressed with the restaurants in Pamukkale but Hiera was very good. It’s our first stop in Turkey so I am hoping the food vs price and quality gets better. Thank you Hiera for a wonderful night.

I don’t have the words to express how incredible everything was. We didn’t have a reservation as we are ill prepared but they thankfully could get us in. The service was excellent some of the best I’ve received in my life, the food was excellent. The portions are huge and everything was delicious, their pomegranate dressing they make in house is the perfect addition to the large salad that comes with your entree and the myriad of sauces they provide you’ll be sure to find something you enjoy. Incredible if I could rate it higher I would. The hospitality is beyond anything you could ever hope for, you’ll feel right at home. Make a reservation when you are in town for an experience you won’t forget. We left with some chocolates, nuts, water and croissants all as a gift and I cannot express my gratitude enough. I only wish my husband and I weren’t so tired so we could have eaten and drank here longer. Truly from my heart thank you all so very much I hope you continue to prosper and are successful in all your endeavors 💖 true Türkiye hospitality and service. Everyone was made to feel at home here, the reviews speak to only a portion of the kindness you’ll receive upon walking in

We had a great time in this restaurant. The environment is amazing and the service is unbeatable. We would recommend this to anyone. The best food in Turkey and maybe all of Europe. They provided many complimentary items like tea and chocolates. You can feel the passion in the cooking. Genuinely perfect in every way!

It was the best restaurant we experienced in Turkey. The owner was super kind. Foods were great. And he cleaned everything so well. He pour beer to pre-frozen cups to make beer very cold. Also, at the end he recommended a local beer and gave it to us as a gift. I absolutely recommend this restaurant. If you ever come to Pamukkale, you must come to this restaurant.

A marvelous place. We had a wonderful meal and a great experience. The food and services are outstanding, a nice family run restaurant. It is a reservation only, we were lucky enough to get an outside table while walking in. The owner provided a blanket for all four of us. We were also invited to have tea inside on the house at the end as the table became available. The teas came with complementary candies and nuts. Through our conversation, the owner learned that it was a birthday of one of us, they also gave us a surprise cake. The restaurant is very cozy and the attention to details was amazing.

The owner was very accomodating as he was closed but seeing that we were famished he asked his kitchen if they could squeeze us in at 4pm for lunch. Had the mutton pilaf & it was satisfying, there’s a lot of appetisers and tons of sauces for the fries so we were really full after. What was comforting was he gave us nuts, chocs with the tea and when we couldn’t finished, he packed them and gave us extra mineral water to take away for free!!! Such heart warming hospitality!!!!

After a long day exploring Hieropolis, Pamukkale and Laodikeia I was hungry. Somehow ended up at Miske and it was great. Staff so friendly. I (and my wife) had some starter of cheese, salad and another veggie dish, and as mains lamb liver and mixed chicken dish. It was all super taste. Perfect place. And the price was very affordable for what you get!

Food is superb. Serving is on time. It's a local restaurant with local people as costumers. There is no tourist menu. It's a pity we don't get this food at our 5 star inclusive hotel.

This restaurant is the place to go, either you're looking for breakfast, lunch or dinner! We found it by chance when looking for a place to have dinner after visiting Pamukkale and it did not disappoint. Hakki was our waiter, he was very attentive and made us feel very welcome. All the food was so delicious that we came back for breakfast the following day. It is a great value for money since the prices are low but the quality is outstanding. We had the shashlik and the pistachio kebab for dinner, they also give you some complimentary starters which were very good. For breakfast we had the menu for two people, it is a shame that we don't have the stomach for all the food they bring out. I definitely recommend this restaurant and would go back in a heartbeat.

A group of us from the UK, US, and Germany traveled to Denizli together. We stayed there for a week and decided to try a restaurant for lunch on our first day. We had a fantastic experience with both the food and the service. We ended up returning to the same restaurant every day until the end of our trip because we enjoyed the food and the relaxed atmosphere. I'd like to express my gratitude to Aina, Alireza, and Iman for their excellent hospitality towards me and my friends.

Awesome food and service by chef Yusof. He came so down to earth to service us , cooked for us delicious lamb kebab. Beef just perfect and this place you can’t judge it from the restaurant outlook… if you’re looking for great food and warm and friendly service , this is the place that you must try before you leave this place. If there is ever 10 stars I will rate them 10 out of 10. The price is fair.

A group of us traveling through decided to stop when we saw Ramen. It definitely hit the spot! The owners were super friendly and very accommodating. The ramen was great but if you’re feeling up for a fresh taste try the bibimbap, the flavor of the chicken and chili sauce topped poke bowel style paired well. In the pic… we will definitely be back if we pass through again. Thank you!

I tried breakfast & lunch, the food was super delicious. The highlight of the breakfast was the butter 🤩🤩🤩, home made butter that was super creamy and so tasty to the extent that you could eat it without bread or honey! We also had lunch there and it was finger licking good, the place is so cozy and if u go at night they have a beautiful garden you can enjoy 💫 I highly recommend their breakfasts over any other place in Denizli Pamukkale, and whats even better is the friendliness. We had other friends from Spain, they also loved their food and hospitality 🙏🏼
