We went to Pamukkale from Kemer. Yes, it's a long road, but it's worth it. Pamukkale is great. The chic Cleopatra pool ... In general, you can talk for a long time, it's better to see :)

The road is long, the wheels are round, the eyes are "square" !!! The Klepy pool is impressive, and the landscape, too. , and from Ephesus - you can refuse - a waste of time.

from Alanya it is very far. There are 2 excursions: for 1 day and 2 days with an overnight stay at the hotel. the cost is not cheap even once, if from the officials. if I'm not mistaken, for 1 day - they will pick you up around 4-5 in the morning and return to the hotel at night, running all day. in my opinion, it’s tiring and you won’t be able to really see anything, because you will be in the crowd of the same suffering people to run after the guide, and along the way they will definitely bring you to a couple of shops.
about impressions: Pammukale is a miracle, snow-white boulders, travertines with water, the ruins of Hierapolis ...; Ephesus - Ephesus itself, Mary's house, the grotto of the seven sleepers, the museum in Selcuk along with the basilica, mosque and Artemison ... mmm))
so it's better to go for 2 days or it's easier to take a car and roll yourself. it is best to get to Pammukale in the morning or late in the evening in order to calmly enjoy the unique place - well, this is a mark for independent travel))

PS: the vaunted Cleopatra pool not only costs an additional 25 lire, but there is just a leper colony from package tourists who, like herrings, stuff themselves there, clamor and crap ... IMHO for an amateur

Yes, it is better to take two days, you will have time to see everything leisurely. I took it for one day - everything was fast and I saw little. But it's worth a trip, there are a lot of impressions! :)

If for two weeks in Turkey, then two days can be "killed". If a week, then one is enough. In the last century, I managed it in a day, normally, and also factories - they sold it, and this is the same. time. The landscape and Aunt Klepa are the main things.

From Alanya, I would not go so far, a big waste of time and energy. If you want to see Pamukkale, it is better to choose Fethiye, Marmaris, i.e. the Aegean coast for relaxation. From Fethiye to Pamukkale it takes about 3 hours.

We went in June for 1 day. Departure at 2 am, arrival at 9 pm. Pamukkale liked it, Cleopatra's bass is not very (muddy, nasty dirty water and in the sense of recovery, no shifts). Drive very far from Alanya.

In the Pamukkale area, in addition to the thermal pools (but it’s better in the hotels of this place than the Cleopatra pool itself for $ 17, if you’re lucky with a guide instead of b. K-ra, you’ll be taken to cool springs!) I really like to walk through the ruins of the old Hieropolis, go there definitely you need 2 days, even with Ephesus, even without it, because the road is really long, at least 5 hours one way. Here I agree with sent2008, but from personal experience over many years of trips to Turkey, we never got to the Aegean coast (Turkey usually opens the summer season in May, and there at that time the sea is even colder than the Mediterranean, and flights are direct from us to there is not always a direction), but we don’t sit still, so I don’t see any problems getting to Pamukkale from Alanya: they will pick you up from the hotel at about 5 in the morning (if your hotel is further from Alanya) and wake up in place by lunchtime, and by dinner on the second day come back. The cost of a trip for 2 days is from $ 40 without Ephesus (the street does not sell with Ephesus, and I basically don’t take from operators, it’s better on my own than to overpay them).

It takes a very long time to drive from Alanya. As they already said at 4-5 o'clock in the morning they pick it up at 12-01 o'clock at night, they bring it if only through Pamukkale. It is very tiring. If you come for a week, my personal opinion is a waste of time and money. the shores are the shores of limestone sediment and other natural building minerals. It’s just very beautiful, but if the heat is 40 degrees and you need to run somewhere for a guide, there are a lot of people (we didn’t run personally) just admired the beauty of the white mountains and took beautiful photos. Recommendations : pay only for the entrance to Pamukkale and you don’t need to rub yourself with sediment in any case and take a good restoring body cream. We had a case where a person just got wounds. outside the hotel.
