Beautiful when seen from afar, not a good place to be at all. Water is almost muddy from all the SPF, lots of rocks, no free zones, everything is occupied and overcrowded. Not sure how this place is promoted as one of the best in Rhodos

The bay is beautiful and worth a visit, but here are a few points to keep in mind so you can make the most of your time here: the sun beds are very expensive, up to 5x more than in other beaches around the island. You can, however, avoid them if you bring your own beach towel, but then you should arrive no later than 11:00 (in July/August make it 10:30), as the beach itself is very narrow and mostly taken by the expensive sun beds, so finding a spot might be tricky. Even though the bay is beautiful, for snorkeling you will find it is not as clear as other beaches around the island. The bay can be accessed by boat, car or public transport, and there is a paid parking facility in the premises.

Amazing and historical beach. Arrive early to be able to get access to the sun lounges as it is a small beach with a limited number. The water is beautiful and the view is stunning.

Nice for a bath or drink. The water is not so clean and the sunbeds cost 60-100eur.

Really nice place, it's quite expensive but a real treat with comfy sun loungers and drink service to you lounger... They also drive you on a golf buggy across to Lindos

Amazing beach with the best food view and pricess

There is a 60+ EUR fee for sunbeds. Yes it might be too much when you think you usually pay nothing or less across other Greek islands/beaches but it’s definitely worth it. And when you think about it, it’s not even too much. The staff is friendly (like always) and you get good service (like always).

The view and scenery were simply stunning!🤩the only complain comes from the route to the temple, it is quite difficult as the terrain was hard to walk and no safety rails whatsoever exists, lots of other people going. Anyway, I'd recommend this as one-time visit if above points are not blockers👍🏼tickets 20€/person at the gates

The Acropolis itself is impressive and fascinating to explore, but for me the real highlight was the breathtaking view of the surroundings - the beaches, Lindos, and the mountains. From the top, the scenery is absolutely spectacular. We arrived right at 8:00 in the morning and were able to enjoy the site before it became crowded with other visitors. The walk up to the Acropolis is also very pleasant, offering beautiful side views of Lindos along the way. Tickets cost €20 per person, which may feel a little overpriced, but I would still highly recommend the experience - it’s definitely worth it.

Beautiful place with stunning views over Lindos and the sea, definitely worth visiting! However, the €20 entrance fee felt a bit high, especially since there was no guide or detailed information to explain what you see. Even at the end of the season it was very crowded, with a long wait at the ticket office. Keep in mind there’s a steep walk with many steps, so bring water and good shoes. Best to visit early in the morning or later in the afternoon to avoid the heat and the crowds.

We visited in low season (end of October) and the wait was under 10 mins. This is an incredible archeological site in a beautiful location. Watch your step as we saw a couple of people slip and trip (they do warn you to take care). Well worth the visit. Fresh orange juice available in the cafe with a wonderful view.

Looming over the town of Lindos, this historic fortified citadel holds several ancient structures, including the Doric Temple of Athena Lindia, The Castle of the Knights of St John, and an amphitheater. The acropolis offers breathtaking panoramic views of the Aegean Sea and the town below. Donkey rides are a traditional mode of transport here and remain a popular way of climbing the village's steep hills. On the way up, you'll pass by white-washed houses, quaint shops, and restaurants offering traditional Greek fare. Lindos is a 30-mile bus ride from Rhodes Town, and you'll need to purchase a ticket to enter the acropolis. The Acropolis of Lindos is a breathtaking historical site with stunning views, although many reviews highlight the steep climb and narrow paths. Visitors frequently mention the high entry fee and crowds, which can detract from the experience, especially during the midday heat. It's best to visit early or late in the day to avoid these issues. While the site is popular among history buffs and photographers, reviewers advise caution for families with young children and those with mobility challenges.

What an absolutely gorgeous place. Please do not let the €20 entrance and walk up the stairs deter you from coming. This is a very well preserved and gorgeous historical site. Yes the Greek heat and the climb will tire you out but it is absolutely worth the views and the feel of history. Plus you can always get a beer on the way down there are plenty of places available in the town :)

Enjoyable morning visiting the Lindos Acropolis. Very busy walking up the hill, through the town and the pebble paths can be slippy in places but its worth the walk. There is a much quieter and less steep path for a pretty walk back down with good views of the harbour and back up at the Acropolis.

Overcrowded, no free zone, expensive umbrellas, tons of boats everywhere. Actually clean water if you never go out of it. Would not return. Probably better to visit by boat so you don't go near the beach. Sad thing is I'd rate it 5* if I came off season, probably.

We enjoyed very much this beach due to its calm water, nice sand, almost no waves and because it was close to facilities. The parking if you are lucky, is just on the edge of the beach. Be careful, you must park in the blue zone, and to pay 7€/day. But be there early because the parking is limited

Pallas beach across the little bay is a hard act to follow, but the Town Beach has really upped the ante since my last visit. There are 2 roads down to the beach. The first takes you straight to the beach next to 2 tavernas. The 2nd road is longer but not as steep and ends at a pretty little village area on the beach. There are now plenty of places to eat ( all friendly), sunbeds and toilets. I spotted 3 showers and changing cubicles. The water is clear with a very gradual drop off, very safe. There's also a lifeguard tower now. The sunbeds are €20 to €30 for 2. If you eat at the wedding venue taverna the beds are free. There are also electric cart taxis to get you there and back. Great day out.

Great place to swim. Sand lovers will really like it. Free parking and free use of the beach. Highly recommend you guys to check this beautiful place out.

Tucked away at the base of Lindos township is Pallas beach. Quite nice - with 2 access roads, although a little steep. Lots of cafes etc to be found nearby, plus sunbeds and toilets available.

Lindos, the place where, from a distance, everything looks perfect. Up close… not quite the same story. Let’s take them one by one. 1. The village. From afar, it looks peaceful, authentic, almost like a postcard from “the good old Greece.” Step inside, though, and the postcard turns into a bazaar: narrow streets crammed with stalls and souvenir shops (most of them peddling glittery plastic “treasures” at luxury-boutique prices). Add in the endless flow of tourists and you get more chaos than charm. As for the taverns? Well, they’re packed to the brim and the prices are way above the prices charged in Rhodes town, for example. 2. The medieval castle and acropolis ruins. From below, the sight is trully breathtaking. But after queuing for hours, the magic evaporates fast. Inside, the “restorations” look like the backdrop of a student film project with a very, very limited budget. 3. St. Paul’s Beach (Paralia Agios Pavlos). Famous, photogenic, social-media-perfect… if you only look at it from above. On the ground, though, it’s a different picture: a tiny strip of sand where every square centimeter is claimed, boats that stir up mud right next to swimmers, and exorbitant prices for the sunbeds (starting from 50-60 euro and reaching well over 100 euro). 4. The main beach of Lindos (split into Lindos Beach and Pallas Beach). Again, from the fortress, the bay looks like a scene painted by an impressionist artist: calm water, boats gliding in and out. But go down and reality paints in darker colors: murky water, noise everywhere, bodies crammed together like sardines, and, yes, the ever-present overpriced sunbeds. 5. And, even if we had accepted all of the above, the sight of dozens of exhausted, thirsty donkeys and mules forced to carry tourists under a blazing 40-degree sun was more than enough to ruin the entire experience.

Really nice beaches I would advise to hire a boat out for 2 to 3 hours More of a discount if you take it out more hours give you an opportunity to enjoy some snorkelling around different bases my experience this is better than actually going on a tour packed boat with other people . Plus the kids get to build their confidence jumping in and out of the sea and also experiencing driving about.

While driving around the island, we noticed signs pointing to the castle ruins and decided to make a spontaneous detour. The road leading up to the site is mostly tarmac and fairly accessible, with just a few short but steep sections near the top. Our small rental car managed it with no issues. There’s a free car park right by the castle that can hold around 15 cars, which was a nice bonus. Entry to the ruins is also free, accessed via a set of built steps. Just a note – not suitable for a wheelchair access, unfortunately. Once you reach the top, the views are absolutely breathtaking and make the short trek well worth it. We also noticed a small café nearby, but we didn’t stop in so can’t comment on the food or service. Overall, it’s a great little stop if you’re exploring the island – highly recommended if you’ve got an hour to spare and fancy a bita bit of history paired with stunning scenery.

The castle is a ruin. It offers beautiful views and even though it was a long drive from my hotel we made it into a day trip and saw other things on the way. There is plenty of space for parking very close to the castle, a small cafe at the bottom of the hill, quite easily accessible, probably not for wheelchair or a pram. Half an hour was enough for this attraction.

We stumbled across this place by chance but we loved it. There are two car parks and a small café for a quick refreshment after the walk back down! Gorgeous views, just make sure you're wearing proper shoes

Amazing place. I really like someone make it good enough for tourist .Amazing views. Free access.Parking available. There are two ways to go to the castle. Stairs available. Worth to go.

Magnificent castle on a hill with stunning views of the sea. You can visit it for free. It is worth wearing proper shoes, as the castle ruins are a bit difficult to walk through.

This place was amazing. Probably my favourite place on the entire island, especially going for sunset. I had the entire place to myself (until the very end when someone else came for sunet too), and the place is just peaceful. It appears there used to be a cost for the castle, as there's an abandoned ticket booth at the gate, but it's free entry. The place is in ruins, but it's still worth the visit.

The castle in comparison to others available on the island is quite small however with only a small incline to the top it is well worth the trip as the views are incomparable on a clear day being able to see Sami in the distance is also a welcome treat. A moderate amount of parking is available a A refreshment bar for drinks and such is also available. I hadn’t noticed any toilets.

Kameiros was one of the major cities of the island, the other two being Lindos and Ialyssos, and all of three being of Dorian (a major ancient Greek tribe) origin, whose coalition built the city of Rhodes in the late 5th century BC, a polis that evolved into a major regional player in the ancient world. Though the building of Rhodes naturally shifted much of the interest of the local population there, the city of Kameiros remained in use for approximately another millenia. Its disuse after that and its distance from urban centers that evolved significantly in the following ages left it considerably well preserved. The outline of the city and most of its buildings is quite discernable. Thus, though not even nearly as spectacular as Lindos, it is well worth a visit. The ascent is much less tiresome, the ruins are impressive, and the view is wonderful.

Even after a thousand years, you'll find fascinating remains of a sophisticated culture here. This place is huge, with many spots to explore. It's truly breathtaking what the people of Rhodes were able to accomplish so many years ago. The entrance fee was €10, but considering what you'll see, it's reasonable. Parking was free.

Site was nearly empty 2 hours before closing, it has a bit of an incline but easily walkable and plenty of signs around to explain what parts of the city you’re looking at. Convenient free parking lot on site available. There is toilets and a little cafe on site as well.

One of the best sites I’ve ever been. And I’ve been to many, because I’m an ancient historian. ;) Love how you could see the layout of the town and how the cisterns worked back in the day. The view is stunning. Must see when you’re in Rhodes. Very friendly people who work there as well.

Cool ancient place with lovely cafe! The entrance cost 10€ per adult, kids and students free entry.

First disappointment is when the online price shows 6euro, but the at the cashiers its now 10 euro. While its an important site I'm not sure there's enought added value for the new fee. Little more remains than ruins of lower walls of buildings. its an impressive location with ocean view and the complex gives a good overall idea of the spread of the ancient village. I would have expected a small museum that demonstrated in 3D what the structures looked like and any of the decorative element. If you've seen the major sites and have extra time, you could come here and spend half an hour walking around.

Perfect archeological site with a walk around the entire excavation, focus is on the site and nothing else - just as it should be. Small café and plenty of parking onsite although it was very quiet late September.

Great water park! Better than the smaller one down the beach. Only complaint is that the slides needed to be kept wet for easy, fast sliding without chafing. Non-participating family members can enjoy a lovely cocktail on a lounger nearby or go to the restaurant. We spent most of the day at this beach.

Very nice. 10 euros for an hour is a good price. An hour is a long time 🙂. The kids loved it, and it's on a beautiful sandy beach. No stones. And even our youngest, 5 years old, got to go on it.

Janis(the lifeguard) is amazing he helped me and my brother so much (Nina and Dusan) 🫶🏻

Excellent value for money. We had so much fun, it was a bit choppy the day we went which added to the difficulty of getting back on and staying on. But such a great hour of family fun.

Great place! The lifeguards are positive and will always help you (Janis you are wonderful!).There are many types of obstacles that will suit children and teenagers ☺️ from Dasha and Polina 🫶🏻

Visited today! Had a great time. The workers were super friendly and helpful. The prices were good. We payed 25 for the whole day. Definitely must pay a visit.

One of these days we spent our day and visited the water park. It was better than the one further away and the people working there were really friendly. Everything was well organised.

A Snorkeling Paradise! 🌊🐠 Breathtaking scenery meets unforgettable underwater adventures at this iconic bay. The snorkeling is hands-down the best—vibrant fish dart around you in crystal-clear, calm waters, perfect for beginners and pros alike. Safe, serene, and straight out of a postcard, this spot is a must-visit for anyone craving a swim in nature’s aquarium. Pure magic! 🤿💙

Extraordinarily picturesque beach! A few restaurants there and a small free zone. There are less big rocks in the water on the left side. The bid ones on the right side make it sometimes hard to walk in the water. Great depth, making it suitable for snorkelling. Crystal clear water and clean beach.

Paradise.. nothing less can be said for this dreamy hidden gem in the bay. We took the hiking trail from Faliraki to the bay. The view was breathtaking, the trail - kind of challenging, at times very narrow. Still saw many ppl were coming from there. The water was crystal, the rocks in the sea created so beautiful sceneries. The place is not very big, but sunbeds and umbrellas were placed all over it. However, you will get one if you go there earlier (we went there around 9 and there were plenty, by 10:30-11 most were taken). The cost is 30 euro for 2x sunbeds + umbrella, and I think 15 euro for 1x sunbed. There are a lot of rocks to the back of the beach and so many people were laying on them.

What a clear sea, it’s amazing, here is in the my top 3 beach. Only negative side is very expensive sunbed. 2 bed & 1 umbrella is 30 €, but it’s not including anything. You can bring drink and food if you like, otherwise there is a chill restaurant. We came around 9 am, we picked up last beds, so need to come early. Don’t afraid to be late, there is many place to lay down with towel.

Not a beach, just some paid 30€ umbrellas on the rocks where you'll have a hard time getting in the water. Which is dirty, overcrowded and really of no use. Time to time boats unload people making it even worse, but they're probably having a better time than people on land. Ladiko is one * better but still bad. These places are probably great off season when the money-making machine is gone. In high season they're only good to look at from afar. Water seems clean but on the rocks there's all kind of trash.

stunningly beautyfull!! a must on your Rhodes trip! lovely water and lovely people :)

Very crowded but of course gorgeous

We had a wonderful stay at this hotel in the first week of April, right at the beginning of the season. The staff were very kind and helpful throughout our stay. The hotel was very clean, including the rooms, which were cozy and well-maintained. Each room had a kettle, mugs, tea and coffee, a small (empty) fridge, and a hairdryer. We stayed on a half-board basis. The food was varied and tasty, with plenty of options. Just a note: at dinner, only tap water is complimentary — all other drinks are for an extra charge. When we arrived, the hotel was still quite empty, but within a few days it began to fill up. Shops and beaches in the area were just starting to open and prepare for the season. Big plus is the ample parking space, most of it covered, which is a great advantage during the hot summer months. Highly recommended for a relaxing and comfortable stay!

The hotel offers a very comfortable and peaceful atmosphere, perfect for a relaxing getaway. While the guest crowd tends to be a bit older, the overall vibe is calm and welcoming. What really stands out is the fantastic staff – always friendly, helpful, and professional. The food was also a highlight: fresh, varied, and delicious. If you're looking for a quiet place with great service and food, this hotel is a solid choice.

Stayed for 5 nights with only breakfast included. Every worker there is a 10/10 person, everyone is so friendly and lovely, from the reception people to the housekeepers. We even got a complimentary dinner from the hotel. The beachfront area is amazing, with it's green grass it feels so cool and not hot as if you were in the sand. The location is also great <5 mins from the center, has its own driveway so the hotel is not located on the street, which makes it quiet.

Our stay at Apollo Beach Hotel was truly wonderful. The rooms were nice and always kept clean, quiet enough for a relaxing holiday, and very close to the beach. The food was varied, the staff friendly, and the outdoor pool was both beautiful and spotless. Drinks at the bar were decent, and the atmosphere, especially in the evenings, was really enjoyable. I would also like to highlight someone in particular – a young lady from the Netherlands who worked with the little children during the day and also hosted the mini disco in the evenings. She is an extraordinary person: very patient, kind, and warm with the kids. I was traveling with my 2-year-old daughter who, at times, made a bit of a mess and threw toys around, yet this young lady was so sweet with her, played with her, and really entered her world. With us adults, she was also very friendly, sociable, and easy to talk to, which made us feel even more welcomed and comfortable during our stay.

Very cozy hotel, has everything you need! I really liked that the sunbeds are located on the grass, it's really convenient. Large pool, near which there are always free places. Sunset in the sea is wonderful, clean water. Special thanks to the restaurant manager Katerina for her warm approach and professionalism! Also a great animation team, almost every day there is petanque and darts. Thank you, we really liked it!

Had a lovely vacation at Apollo Beach hotel. The location is perfect, close to Faliraki where are many shops and restaurants and right on the shore of sandy beach. The rooms all have seaview or partial seaview. There are plenty of sunbeds, so you don’t have to stress about it. They also give you towels for the beach which is nice. There is also indoor pool which is nice when you don’t feel like going out to the sun. The only issue is that the indoor pool is 1.8m deep, so not suitable for people who cannot swim well. They do have a lifeguard there keeping and eye on the swimmers. It would be nice if there were swim aids available for children using the pool. The room was spacious and clean. With double doors it was relatively quiet and the noise from the hallway was not so loud. All the staff we met were very nice and friendly, specially the ones in the snack bar:) The food was good and was plenty to choose from. Beef at the dinner was really good:) It would be nice if free water in the carafe would be offered for half-board guests during dinner. Overall I’m very satisfied with my stay and would recommend it to anyone:)

We had the pleasure of staying at Apollo Beach for 9 nights in August. Brilliant staff, everyone was so kind and helpful throughout our stay. Great location, right on the beach and a short walk to shops and restaurants. Good size rooms with amazing views and daily housekeeping. Food was lovely and always had a varied menu with Veg and Non-Veg options to cater for all. A special mention to Kyriaki (Reception) and Anxhela (Restaurant), you were both amazing and made our stay special! Highly recommended, great job Management & Staff.

The chapel or monastery was cool. There were two small museums that together cost 1.5 euros to enter. It seemed that not many opted to enter the museums when we were there. The museums were a bit underwhelming but I'm still glad to have seen it.

We visited the monastery as part of a boat trip to the island. It was a short stop, but very beautiful and peaceful. An added bonus of being able to watch sea turtles made it all the more worthwhile.

A must see if you're traveling to Symi. Easy to reach in every vehicle(seen a lot of bikers on the way)via a very good asphalted road that offers you the opportunity to take some pitoresque photos.

Sacred monastery where we celebrated a millstone birthday for my father in law. Sure, it was 100 degrees that day and we were staying on the other side of the island, but we made the pilgrimage to give thanks and again acknowledge that everything we have is gifted from and for the glory of God! Παναγιά μαζί μας!

This monastery was a very important place for me to visit. And I am so glad I did it’s so beautiful and a peaceful place

Good bus trip from Symi port,book through Dodekanisos ferry from Rhodes town. 20 minutes each way and you have 1hr to visit which was enough to walk around and have a drink the cafe next door.

Very quiet area, church looks simple on the outside but deceptive, it’s incredible inside, the most detailed church I’ve seen in Greece, literally everything was detailed, little cafe available nearby and a bakery where they make delicious goods. This was included on a symi island tour and I thought it was worth it

Beautiful place, respectful and kind servise, central location in the town. 10/10 experience.

The perfect stay in the center of rhodes. Close to everything and with an amazing view. Clean and perfect service!!!

Lovely privste courtyard. Quirky rooms. Very clean on arrival. Very close to restaurants and bars.

Ancient & Unique palace in the heart of old town , Rhodes.Great hospitality suggested !!

Best experiance ever! Host is super and the place is awesome!

Amazing hidden gem inside the walls of the Medieval Town of Rhodes!

Amazing host and Vila

This place is so neat! Tickets are 20Euro or about $23 USD. Get there as early as you can, it gets crowded fast. Amazing restored rooms and furniture and so much to learn and see. It is an impressive building and beautifully decorated. There is a wonderful museum at the end to view as well.

Not just a medieval palace, a real voyage in time. We visited the Palace of the Grand Master on a Sunday morning and it seems like we got there before the crowds. We had plenty of time to visit every room and also the opportunity to snap a lot of pictures without too many people around. First things first, the Palace is in pristine condition. I was expecting a nice place but this visit totally blew our minds. It's big, and I mean BIG. Lots of history, stunning architecture, and even more. There are a few places you visit where you feel like words aren't enough to describe, this is one of them. It seems like every room we visited brought a new dimension to the history of the place and wowed us with mosaics, furniture, views or just absolute grandeur. We were lucky enough to visit during a museum day so we got the chance to visit for free, but to be honest, it's totally worth the regular price ice of admission. Take the time to stop by the windows and take a look outside, views are amazing at almost all of them.

A magical place full of history and beauty! I absolutely loved the stunning architecture of the Palace of the Grand Master — as soon as I walked in, it felt like stepping into a Disney movie! Every artifact inside the museum is so well preserved, and the royal rooms are simply beautiful. The atmosphere takes you back in time, letting you imagine the life of the knights who once lived here. The ticket was €20, but it was totally worth it. A must-visit when in Rhodes!

Thoroughly enjoyed our visit to this beautiful palace. It is huge and absolutely stunning and gives a real insight into the Rhodes of yesteryear. We found it fascinating, the architecture, statues, rooms, mosaic floors are awe inspiring and the audiovisual elements really brought it to life. Stop off for a coffee at the lovely coffee shop within the courtyard and enjoyed a lovely coffee. If you are visiting Rhodes this is a must see!

Fantastic - really worth a visit. The architecture of the Palace is wonderful. All of the artifacts inside the museum are well preserved, and the various rooms are terrific to see. It was not overly busy when we went and the tickets were ~€20, but worth it.

Its.very interesting.destinations and full. History in every wall.or street of Rhodes Island. Its quiet amazing to see all those.wall still standing from the past 200 or.500.years passed by .u can still recall how.this.city in period of ancient ruler and invaders. Amazinh artifacts from all.meseum we see. Such a treasure.of history👍👍👍👍 Overall we enjoy the visit🇬🇷🇬🇷🇬🇷

I went on the castle walls and honestly for 5 euro it was a lot of fun! It's a nice walk and you get a nice view of the town. I will say that there are no benches or shade so it can be intense in the heat so ensure you have water.

Not bad in view of the fact that there is no alternative in the neighborhood( Music and performances are charged extra 30 tl per person.

Best and only place to listen jazz music in Selimiye. Musicians awesome😊

Nice for a drink. And good music. Little bit expensive

Great to watch the world go by

Good music but staff a little slow

You can Listen to best jazz in town!

Lovely live music

Most people friendly and salt of the earth. Couldn’t do enough for you. Any time of the day or night, there would be shops open. Some phenomenal evenings, breakfasts and lunches at The Majestic by the beautiful flower lined and walkbridge connected Canal. Surprisingly though, prices were similar to Sydney, Aus. prices or a little cheaper. It wasn’t as cheap as I had expected for such a small town. Overall, my experience in Içmeler was fondly memorable! Worth the trip.

A nice beach in the centre of icmeler. It was empty in October so Marmaris is better if you want a more lively atmosphere, however if you want some peace and quiet this is the place to go. I’d imagine it’s quite different in the middle of the summer!

Pleasant little town. We walked here from our hotel in Marmaris. Took just under an hour. Bars and shops aplenty. Water taxi to take you to and from Marmaris is a nice and fairly inexpensive form of travel if don't want to walk.

Sunbeds free of you buy drinks / for from the bars. Didn't get hassle once we got a bed and service was great

Just went today.. was awesome water pure clear and clean.. there was a public beach in between the two business which was wide enough and had a good space for all. Sandy Beach and market nearby with reasonable price.. enjoyed and chilled a lot

Nice beach bit crowded in places best to get sunbeds from one of the restaurants and have food and drinks there. You get free sunbeds and WiFi while there then

The beach is nice but tiny pebbles and not sand . We used the sunbeds belonging to coco bar there.if you buy a drink you don't pay for sunbeds and they come round for you to order drinks , Had food in there too and was very nice ,people are so lovely there

Came here mid November we were fortunate enough to have lovely weather for a couple days, the beach is clean and if you sit near one the the restaurants or bars they allow you to use the Sun Loungers and give you free WiFi providing you purchase a drink from them.

clean water, clean beach, you can have tours from there, lovely sun

The sand is brown ,it's kind of dry clay in most of the parts, don't expect white fine sand. The sea is brown as well, if you go to the deep part it can be a little bit more clear. If you want to go snorkeling ,that's isn't the beach ,go to Turunç, Turunç is amazing. Marmaris beach facilities are spectacular, showers everywhere, places to get changed and toilets. Amazing facilities.

A sandy beach stretches on the part of the coast of Marmaris and belongs to the municipality, it is crowded most of the time in the morning and evening, there are public sanitary facilities and places for changing clothes, as well as places for bathing and washing the body after going to the sea. There is a nearby park that has children's games.

Parked in the new carpark along the front, lots of space and walked the whole length of marmaris, there was a kite festival so they were everywhere. Wandered back along the pazar area which has lots of little shops, lovely afternoon

Great place to go if you want to just have a swim and peace and quiet.

Lots to do and some fantastic restaurants

Really great experience and good if you have kids but make sure they have a swim suit or trucks on and take a towel coz if they stand close to the fountain they will get wet , show starts 9pm nightly and is done to music worth the watch

Great fountain with lights, music ...it all start at 9 pm

Finally got to see the famous dancing fountains in Marmaris — they start at 9pm and are definitely a highlight of any visit here. 💦✨ The music, lights, and water displays are brilliant, and the atmosphere is buzzing with families and holidaymakers. Can’t believe it’s taken me five trips to actually see them, but worth the wait!

Not as breathtaking as Dubai fountain, obviously on the much smaller scale. Still, lovely spot. I recommend to visit after sunset. Nice to chill and relax. Lovely, calming atmosphere.

Really good show. Lasts about 20mins, worth a visit.

Beautiful area in Marmaris! Such a pretty area to just sit and relax for a little while!

Beautiful night time attraction free of charge .Well done to town of Marmaris 👏

Marmaris Marina is a stunning waterfront destination that captivates visitors with its beauty and charm. The marina boasts a picturesque setting, surrounded by azure waters and lush greenery, creating a serene oasis in the heart of the city. Strolling along the promenade, visitors can admire the luxury yachts and sailboats, adding to the glamorous atmosphere. The marina is also home to a variety of cafes, restaurants, and shops, offering something for everyone to enjoy. Whether you're taking a leisurely walk, enjoying a meal with a view, or simply soaking in the tranquil ambiance, Marmaris Marina is a must-visit destination in Turkey.

Lovely for a swim but lots of stones so u will need beach shoes. No sun beds or loungers. Just bring ur Towel and sit on sand. There is a little bit with a rail that has man made hard floor under sea to get into sea to avoid the stones

Very nice place to wait for a ferry. Bathrooms are super clean! See a bunny or two while you are there.

Very nice well designed place with whatever a sailor can need such as warm water, every time clean big spaced toilets with hair dryer. Good shopping area with many cafes restaurants and sailing shops, a very close super market just next to marine, close to heart of Marmaris just a few minutes walk you are in castle historic area and bar streets.

It used to be very nice and friendly, in the last two years prices have become unreasonable. Let me explain: first of all is very noisy at night (both from night clubs but also fron other boats partying) but the worst thing is the high speed powerboats entering or leaving the marina. So once in while unexpected waves come out of the blue caused by tenders. Additionally the behavior of certain staff + the refusal to speak English is funny when working in tourism! There is a rule in marketing called "willingness to pay", i don't mind the higher cost BUT downgrading the quality of your services is serious.

The marina is impeccably clean and well run, the town has everything you cod need to refit your boat with. Most of the mariners speak good English and are very helpful and the technical support is also readily available. It is also a very safe and secure marina with someone attentively patroling on a tender through the night .

A very beautiful landscape, a well-maintained and clean promenade, lots of services.

I had a good experience in akbük but i heard that it used to be more relaxing and beautiful over there but now its too crowded and not that good if you just want to chill out. There's a beautiful forest there too but the fire department won't let you camp there unfortunately. And if you want to camp you either should find a place before actually getting to akbük or you have to camp in the campsites which are too crowded and in my opinion awful ! And overpriced

From Akyaka it is almost 50 min distancr by car, a challenging Road but a hidden town by the sea and Mountain. Clean sea and perfect nature

Great bay with clean water and amazin nature. Having a camping site is a plus!

The water is amazing and worth a visit. There are a few small open air places that will serve you food and drinks. Paid 10try to park but worth every penny to swim in these waters. The beach is small but they sell chairs and umbrellas if needed but you dont come here to sit on the beach. I wish i had diving equipment with me.

Be ready for very loud music for the whole day until 12, especially well heared if you are on a yacht. Worst mooring experience in Turkey so far

One of the perfect place to have rest and swim. Still not commercial and “touristic”. Some sea side hotels and restaurants are occupying the beach but still it’s kind of “vlrgin” place for holiday.

Very clear sea and silent ambiance.

Very nice, spacious and clean sandy beach. Water is crystal clear and it's shallow for like 20 meters. The only downside was the parasols; they're rather small and don't have great coverage. However the beach is pretty cheap -100 TL for a couple of beds and a parasol - so it's definitely worth it.

Great beach with cafe , toilets, changing etc. entrance is 200TL for the car and 350TL for 2 sunbeds .

This is our first trip to İztuzu Beach by car, and the journey is quite long. The breathtaking views on the drive to the beach make it worthwhile. The parking lot costs ₺200, and payment is required upon entry. They also provide changing rooms and restrooms. There is a restaurant and tanning area where you can pay ₺165 per person or ₺350 for two wooden sun loungers, or choose a free one on the sand. The beach was extremely crowded. The only thing you have to do when you go swimming in the sea, all you have to do is walk far enough until the water is deep enough. İztuzu Beach is absolutely stunning; unfortunately, we did not get to see any turtles, but we had an enjoyable time. I recommend it purely for the experience.

İztuzu Plajı is one of the most beautiful and unique beaches in Turkey. The sand is golden, the water is shallow and warm, and the scenery is amazing with mountains on one side and the river delta on the other. What makes it special is that it’s also a protected nesting area for Caretta Caretta turtles, so it feels like you’re visiting both a beach and a natural reserve. There are no big hotels or loud music, which keeps it peaceful. Best to bring your own snacks and water, and respect the turtle areas. Truly a natural paradise!

One of my favourite in Turkey. Perfectly clean, wise, and beautiful. Dalyan in general is a magic place for a vacation. You can get there by the boat, or by the bus service. It takes around 30 minutes, both ways are enjoyable though, views etc. A lot of empty space, if you walk a little far from the sun lounges. Sandy clean beach, warm clean sea, perfect

I liked this beach a lot. The fee is not that much (2€ per car, no matter how many people are inside it), there are public toilets and showers (with cold, salty water) and the beach is clean. The water doesn't get deep enough for swimming for more than 50meters which makes it ideally for kids. You can also visit the Turtle Hospital (which is located close to the entrance). There is also shadow under some pine trees, but if you arrive after 10am most probably you will find it already occupied. At times it gets very windy. The restaurant inside has reasonable prices.

Very nice!! Wish we had better weather

Absolutely amazing ancient ruins. Quite a hike from one plateau to another but worth it. The boat across was 100TL for two people return. And the pancakes at the cafe on that side were amazing. Well worth a visit. If you go into the cemetery and walk straight on, then take a little turn right at the fence you can get a closer look at the rock tombs.

An amazing relic of the past. I'd like to give everyone a little information here. There is no need to get a boat trip to visit this place. Walk along the front in the direction of the sea. (Left). You will see a restaurant on the other side. There is a row boat service to take you to over. The cost is insignificant. You will see a single road on the other side. Simply walk along it for approximately 20 minutes and you will arrive at Caunos. You can not miss it. It's an easy walk for most people. You do have to get in and out of the boat, obviously but you will be helped. These are pictures of the crossing point.

Well worth a visit to the extensive ruins. Took the car ferry as foot passengers from river by Hotel Portleva. Fare 20 lira each way (cash). Then 15 minutes easy walk on a road. Entry fee 140 lira each again cash only. Visited from 4pm on 1 October and only a very few people were there. The amphitheatre is being renovated but still accessible. The lower level by the river is river is accessible by an ancient paved path which is uneven in places -saw a few big lizards. It’s possible to cross the river by row boat from the town centre but this means a longer walk on the other side.

Kaunos is a must see if you’re in the area! So much amazing history to see and gorgeous views over the water! Remember to bring water as it’s HOT up there… they have opened a little cafe to grab a drink too.

Kaunos is an ancient city located in the province of Muğla, Turkey, near the modern town of Dalyan. Once a strategically important port city, it is now situated several kilometers inland due to the silting of its harbor over centuries. The city is on the UNESCO World Heritage Tentative List and is known for its unique blend of Carian, Lycian, Hellenistic, Roman, and Byzantine influences. There is quite a lot of restoration work but it doesn't detract from what you see. There are bilingual signs outlining what each structure is and it's history. All in all, it's like the entertainment quarter for the ancient inhabitants of this area. Entry is 150 Turkish Lira payable at the top. The walk up is very dusty and hot. I recommend good walking shoes, a hat and water.

4th visit. This time I decided to walk to the highest point where the castellations are. It was a difficult ascent which took about 30 min's beyond the ampitheatre. Don't think I'd do that walk again but if you're up for a challenge go for it. The views are panoramic once at the top

Nice historical place with splendidviews! The ticket costs 150 turkish lira per person (only cash).

Great place great scenery

Enjoyed the trip by boat all the way to the mud and thermal water park. Mythologically, It is been said that the river is filled by tears of a prince whose love left him for his brother. On the mountains there, they crafted their Graves.

Great place. Beautiful scenery in the boat ride that we took. The ancient graves in the mountains is a great scene and not to be missed.

Fantastic day trip whilst staying in Dalaman area of Turkey. Natural Mud baths and heated pool, boat ride, turtles and beach. A real must for anyone visiting this region of Turkey. £20 per person food included

Heaven, whether you are on a public river taxi or a private hire

Stunning scenery, highly recommend the River trip to turtle beach.

Nice trip by the boat

You will not believe your eyes when you see the azmak River. Crystal clear water and really cold. Deffinetly swim you will cool down in second in hot summer day

We had a very nice boat trip for a good price. River is beautiful.

In such a beautiful location by the stream, even tea and coffee was a pleasure!

This review is for the river it self. Unbelievable. Never seen anything so natural and amazing. Cristal clear water with incredibly beautiful see weed and fish. A natural aquarium. The boats take you for a tour for very reasonable price.

The river and surrounding ambience is phenomenal. One should really need to hop on a boat and enjoy the slow ride with tremendous scenery. However, I suggest you pack your meal, even get your drinking water with you. The restaurants are below average, sometimes far from edible and truly undeservingly expensive.

Quaint little seaside town about 40 mins from Marmaris with a beautiful landscape and mountains surrounding. Take a leisurely cruise down the river or just chill at one of the wayside cafes. Tranquillity and peace. Awesome place to spend a day and just unwind

This river is wonderful, nature is awesome, there are lots of sea fishes inside, like a protection place... The water is brillant like an aquarium... Must see

Another must-see archeological site. İt is about a 3hrs drive from Izmir. What impressed me the most was the 170mt pool, it is unrestored now but I hope it will be one day. One remark: the museum building is closed to visitors.

One of the most fascinating places I have ever been to. Absolutely stunning peace's with very well preserved parts. I loved the masks wall and also the pool at the main square. Don't miss the Theatre. Less expensive (€12) and much less crowded than Ephesus

Enchanting archeological site. Some buildings are in incredible good state and the visit is very enjoyable as there aren’t crowds of tourists.

The archeological site is fantastic, interesting and beautiful. You can easily spend there 2 hours. Take some water and a hat, as it can be very hot on the sun. However, the Museum is currently closed...and this was very dissapointing.

It is one of the best places I have ever been. 100% worth it. We were alone

Absolutely beautiful, well-preserved and off the beaten path. Low crowds mean you can walk on and around the ruins. Come early and explore in near silence and solitude.

We had limited time and we were not sure if we should include this in our itinerary, but we did and we were delighted. Way less crowded than Ephesus, and from my point of view experientially deeper and easier to immerse into the history of the place without the tour busses. Though smaller than Ephesus, the 170 m long swimming pool must have been a treat, and Aphrodisias had plenty of water the gardens were reportedly magnificent. Definitely a City I may have wanted to live in back in the day…

We drove from Antalya to Salda Lake, and the drive was smooth and easy, with clear roads. The lake itself is visible from a distance, but the main tourist area is a bit further inside. Positives: •Great for Photography: The lake offers stunning views that are perfect for photography enthusiasts. •Fresh Air: The surroundings are refreshing, providing a great escape into nature. •Beautiful Views: The lake’s unique turquoise waters make for an amazing sight. Improvement: •Cleanliness of Shoreline: While the lake is beautiful overall, the shore could be cleaner. Extra Note: Be cautious of honey bees in the area. One seemed especially interested in my wife, leaving her with a memorable sting! A picturesque spot with minor drawbacks, Salda Lake is worth visiting for nature lovers and photographers.

I thought it was underwhelming but my wife thought it was great. It was on the way to Pamukkale from Sagalassos so worth a short detour. We just waded in, but some people were swimming. I can't say I noticed any special healing powers ;)

Beautiful tranquil lake. Not crowded when I visited in an October afternoon.

We were pretty hyped about coming here after reading it. The lake is a unique experience, but was not exactly what we thought. We went to a campground on the NW side of the lake and there was a sign saying "Prohibited entry to lake" with no exploration as to why. We didn't know if it was due to no lifeguard or because of something harmful in the water. We continued to drive around to the east side where there is a restaurant. We ate there (better food than expected) and they said we could get in the lake, which the kids did. All in all it's a neat experience, but we didn't see anything around the lake that actually talked about the significance of it. And there wasn't a single dock; we didn't see any boats, canoes, etc.

What an amazing nature and beauty about this place which is unbelievable, lake is super huge and we went from one corner to another even the village is so beautiful while going to Salda Lake. A must place to visit and also there restaurants and coffee shops around some key spots with restroom facilities.

Beautiful white sand beach lake in the middle of unexpected.... absolutely loved it

Salda Lake, often dubbed the "Turkish Maldives," is a breathtaking natural wonder with its striking turquoise waters and white sandy shores. The lake's unique beauty is a testament to the delicate balance of nature, created by the rare hydromagnesite minerals that form its shores. While its serene atmosphere and picturesque landscape make it a must-visit destination, it's crucial that we approach this fragile ecosystem with care. With increasing tourism, the need for responsible travel and strong conservation efforts is more important than ever to preserve this pristine paradise for future generations. Inst: @uyuyangezgin

We were attending this attraction on Saturday, 11 o'clock. It took us 3.5 hours to get there from Fethiye so we couldn't make it earlier and we were ready to see many people inside , even though it wasn't high season anymore. You make a big circle on the car to get to the official parking lot, pay 120 tl for parking and then get through the gates. In October 2025 1 ticket costs 30 Euro and you pay in liras. Then you start your journey using a golf car or walking The territory is huge. At first, you walk through the ancient city and it takes you around 20 minutes to get to the travertines. There are not many people around, they are all chilling at the pools. There's a beautiful garden and mountains around your way, many benches and tables for the picnic which is really nice. You can also visit the museum and the ancient theatre. The travertines are very beautiful in the sunlight. Not all of them are filled with water but you can still take great pictures Some people get deep down so they are alone in the bigger area, all of the tourists are concentrated on top of the pools. You need to take of the shoes to get there, the stones can be slippery but the water is pretty warm. The views around are breathtaking! You can also enjoy your time at the cafes right next to the travertines and get some snacks. So I'd say it was worth visiting once in the life time (in the sunny weather and preferably earlier on the weekday) however the entrance fee is very high and I'm not sure it's equivalent to the experience you get

Pamukkale is impressive from the first step. The snow-white terraces and azure pools look almost unreal, like a natural chalk castle. Hiking trails allow you to get close to the cascades; the water is warm and pleasantly tickles your feet. There are many tourists, so peaceful photos are rare-arrive early in the morning or late in the evening. There's an entrance fee, and some terraces are closed for conservation, but the overall view is breathtaking. Nearby Hierapolis boasts a well-preserved Roman amphitheater it's worth a visit. Bring comfortable shoes, a swimsuit, and water; don't leave litter and respect the securit rules. I highly recommend it it's one of those places that's easier to experience than to describe.

It is an amazing natural formation by accumulating minerals from the flowing hot spring water. There is a dedicated section where tourists can experience travertine and hot spring water under their feet. It is required to enter the travertine area without shoes and socks. There is a self serve cafeteria. There are always a huge number of tourists visiting it. Considering that there is an entry fee, the authority could increase the number of WC facilities.

A magical place for me! The real experience of walking barefoot (like most) or with some bathing shoes in this white marvel is bar none. Even though there is a lot of water, I found the surfaces to be not slippery at all. You can spend a few hours just running around the hill. Enterprise of €30 is a bit steep.

We entered through the South Gate, which is the closest entrance to the travertines. If you’re visiting with children, elderly people, or anyone with walking difficulties, it’s better to take a buggy car — tickets for it are available right after the ticket check. The amphitheatre is a bit uphill, but worth the short climb. Many of the travertine pools had water during our visit, and all the main attractions — the travertines, ancient amphitheatre, Cleopatra Pool, and other monuments — are located within the same area. Unfortunately, the Cleopatra Pool was closed for renovation when we visited. Please note that the entry gate opens only at 8 a.m. We arrived at 6:30 a.m. but were told that even the parking area gates would open only at 8 a.m. We still got to enjoy watching the hot air balloons take off around 6:30 a.m. from outside the gate, which was a beautiful experience.

Very beautiful place. Very interesting. It is better to come with short clothes or a swimsuit. It's just a shame that it's so expensive for tourists. For tourists 30 euros and for Turks 4 euros. At the checkout they are trying to sell headphones For 10 euros. That they don't need them at all.

It’s definitely an attraction worth visiting, but I don’t feel the €30 entrance fee is justified. The place is rich in history and the audio guide shares fascinating stories from the past, making it a wonderful site to learn from. Still, the price feels a bit too high. I hope the government could consider lowering the entrance fee or at least offering discounted rates for groups. The colors give the impression of being painted, and uncovering the history behind them makes the experience truly engaging.

Great day out, very pretty and amazing sight. The salt was a bit hard on your feet at times as you can't wear shoes until you get to the top. It was nice to paddle in the pools.

We enjoyed ourselves and it was very informative. The ruins are cool especially the reconstructions but also just lots of columns and carving laying about. The museum was also very good. It was hot but there are numerous fountains and shady benches and picnic tables, cafe prices are relatively reasonable considering.

Beautiful site, but frustrating experience Hierapolis is stunning, with incredible ancient ruins and breathtaking views. However, the visitor experience could be much better. They charge $10 for Bluetooth headphones, but you can’t even use them during the tour, which feels misleading. While the history and scenery are worth seeing, the management of tours and extra charges leaves a lot to be desired.

If you love going back in time to see how the ancient people lived, then this is a must see place. The amphitheater is mind blowing and breathe taking. This was a city that had Roman influence and the artifacts and carving were mind boggling.

Completely bad ass. Mega old city up on a hill. The tomb of Philip the Apostle, BTW it's empty. Calcium pools at sunrise, i cut my foot in there. Balloons at sunrise...way cool. Oh and the Gates of Hell. You can't go in there because, yep, you'll die. WOO HOO!!!

It's a quiet good place but to much people and looks kinda artificial. Not enough water and it could be very hot in a sunny day. And in the entrance they try to scam you. They'll give you 30 euro tickets then will charge like 40 euros and won't even ask if you wanna pay or not I just realized it because I was paying for few people and the money it deducted was like insane then I asked them why have I been charged extra they said that they gave me a headphone that I never asked for then somehow I managed to return the head phone and get refunded but I bet 90% of people who are paying by a card won't even notice

Nice place to see some history, be prepared to walk and get lots of sun. Has some cafes for food and drink Be aware that if you want to walk down you need to go barefoot. Otherwise you're taking one of the roads back down (long way). There is parking even outside the lot along the road and some other places for free.

Cleopatra pool is under renovation and the fence around it doesn’t let you even see inside. Also, the travertine pools are nearly all drained. There are 3 hidden ones you can wade in but don’t expect much for pictures. That being said the ruins are quite impressive and the museum is well done.

Just a few steps from the travertine terraces, this peaceful park is full of ancient ruins, shady trees, and calm paths to wander. It’s a great place to rest after soaking in the thermal waters and feel the layers of history all around you. ➕ Scattered Roman ruins and old stonework Quiet, green space away from the crowds Beautiful photo spots and benches to relax ➖ Not much signage or information ❤️: Worth a stroll if you’re already in Pamukkale — history and nature in one calm corner.

Well worth the visit and remember to bring swimming clothes. The water is warm around 28°C and I would set aside about 1 to 2 hours. They also have the food court in the same vicinity so grabbing a bite to eat and getting something to drink is a recommendation. The earlier you arrive the better and avoiding the late morning to afternoon rush is the way to go.

One of the must visit places to experience if you go to Hierapolis...this Antique pool is known to have Thermal water with minerals which is good for your body...Honestly it is an experience worth to have.. The pool is so relaxing with warm water but be careful of the big rocks inside the pool, when you swim or walk inside the pool. The water is not very deep and you can relaxing by sitting on the big rocks. Cafe, Toilets, Lockers, shower and changing places are available by the pool. Overall very good experience.

Visited Pamukkale 5th March 25. Really disappointed S & S travel by the Orange Bazzar Lara Beach didn't tell us that the Cleopatra pool had been closed since January 25. Also there are only 3 little water filled pools on the travetines as the images you see online are either very old photo shopped as the area now looks nothing like any photos. I will say however the Hierapolis are as shown online images and pretty impressive. The tour guide lifted up a wooden pallet that had been placed over part of an open aqueduct, this was the only bit of water that you could touch that was warm. The water in the 3 pools on the travetines was just above the ankles and was probably from the recent down pour of rain it was freezing cold. If you like ancient Roman ruins its worth going. If you want to see beautiful filled travetine pools don't bother they no longer exist

The pools are closed and dry of water, the lady in the entrance she will till you 30 euro, and once u try to pay with card she will add 10 euro without telling you. So basically scamming you. Luckily for me I checked before tapping my card. It’s just some old stones that they call it history.

The pool is closed while a new structure is built around it. The guards told us that the pool would re-open in October 2025.

The Hierapolis Ancient Theater is truly impressive — one of the main highlights when visiting Pamukkale. It’s amazingly well-preserved and gives you a glimpse into how massive and grand the performances must have been back in ancient times. Built during the Roman period, it could seat thousands of people and was used for plays, music, and even gladiator shows. Most visitors online call it a must-see, and I’d agree. I came here as part of a tour group, so I didn’t take any local guide, but the tour provided enough info to appreciate the site. You can take a buggy to the top for around USD 50, but honestly, it’s not worth it — walking is much better and gives you time to enjoy the scenery. But if you cant walk then you'll need to take it then. There’s a WC available nearby, but the ladies’ WC tends to get crowded. Around the Cotton Castle area, there are a few shops and cafés, but prices are on the higher side. It gets quite hot here, so bring sunscreen, a hat, and some water. Overall, it’s a great experience and definitely worth the walk!

Hierapolis is an absolutely phenomenal historical site that truly stands out! Its uniqueness lies in the seamless blend of ancient Roman ruins with the breathtaking natural wonder of Pamukkale's white travertines. Walking through the vast necropolis, the incredibly well-preserved theater, and the ancient baths, you can almost hear the echoes of past civilizations. The atmosphere is profoundly serene and awe-inspiring, especially as the sun casts long shadows over the ruins. And the views? Simply unforgettable! The panoramic vistas of the "Cotton Castle" combined with the sprawling ancient city are a photographer's dream. A must-visit for any history or nature enthusiast!

The Hierapolis Ancient Theatre is one of the most stunning and well-preserved Roman theatres in Turkey. Sitting high above Pamukkale, it offers not only an incredible glimpse into history but also breathtaking views of the travertine terraces and valley below. The scale of the theatre is impressive, with seating for thousands, and the decorative details on the stage area are still visible despite centuries of wear. Walking through the steps and standing at the top gives you a true sense of how grand performances must have felt here. Be prepared for a bit of a climb from the main site—it’s uphill, but absolutely worth it once you see the theatre in full. I recommend visiting early in the morning or later in the evening when the crowds thin out. If you’re already visiting Pamukkale, don’t miss this highlight—it’s the crown jewel of Hierapolis and a must-see for history lovers and photographers alike.

The ancient theater of Hierapolis in Pamukkale impresses with its scale and state of preservation: the steps and stage are well preserved, and the acoustics are truly outstanding—even a quiet voice can be heard throughout the amphitheater. The upper tiers offer excellent views of the ruins and the valley. I recommend visiting early in the morning or at sunset to avoid the heat and capture the soft light for photos. Be sure to bring water and comfortable shoes, as the stone steps are slippery. A must-see for history buffs: the combination of architecture and setting makes this place unforgettable.

The Hierapolis Ancient Theatre, built in the 2nd century AD, is a grand Roman structure seating over 12,000 people. It features beautifully preserved carvings and stunning views over Pamukkale’s white terraces.

This is an ancient Greek theatre. The theatre is well preserved. It is large and built of stones. You can walk on the stairs and enjoy the view. A guide is recommended to understand about this place. A must visit spot in Hierapolis.

Stage area reconstruction is impressive and the overall steepness of the seating area is cool. Definitely worth the walk.

Marvellous natural formation. It is the second Pamukkale but in the cave. The road is terrible, it is not part of museum card. The stairs are under water so be prepared.

This is a cool cave to explore! Not very large but very interesting. We took our shoes off to walk because the path is flooded. Next to the cave is a public park with playground, picnic area and a lovely swimming pool with fresh water flowing through it. And clean toilet too!

Cool place to visit if you are driving near by. It is like mini Pamukkale under the ground. It is worth going in with swimming shoes or beach shoes as the cave ground is full of water. There is a big parking lot and the parking is included to the price. The site itself is small, it doesn’t take long to see the cave. There is a pool outdoors where you can swim. It was filled with kids mainly. There are changing rooms and showers that are free of charge. There are no sun beds by the pool therefore not comfortable to stay longer by the pool. In one of the water sources there are lots of many turtles 🐢

The cave is said to be more than 2.5 million years old, 190 meters long, and 14 meters deep. It is indeed a geological wonder and is definitely worth visiting if published photos are of interest to you. However, in this review, I will not focus on the technical aspects of the cave since these can be found on the internet. I will rather focus on points that the visitor needs to know before he comes, so please take consideration of the bullets below. 1. The cave is about a 45-minute drive from Pamukkale by car and is not close to any other tourist attraction site. You pay at the entrance (not sure if the Müze Kart option is admissible here) and they let you take your car inside where a decent parking lot is available. It can accommodate buses too. 2. When I went in May 2025, toilets were still unfinished (under construction), so I expect they will be ready in a couple of months. Until then, toilets in petrol stations on your way are a must if you’re “in distress”. 3. As soon as you park and get out of your car, you start to smell a bad odor, very much similar to that of rotten eggs or sewers. I first thought that the odor is coming from a nearby open sewage manhole but, instead of decreasing as I moved towards the cave entrance, it increased. It turned out that the smell is emitted from the cave and (as I discovered later) it is due to the Sulphur-based chemical composition of the water inside. The severity of the smell is not to be underestimated. To me, it was striking and made me cut my visit short. If you have breathing problems or are an odor-sensitive person, don’t come. Note that the vapors inside the cave do not represent a hazard to a healthy person. Just repelling. 4. The wooden/concrete stairs running into the depth of the cave are slippery and the water runs over them with abundance. The water and the slipping risk necessitate wearing suitable shoes before coming: waterproof up to the ankle and slip resistant. Some people in other reviews recommended wearing flip-flops but I’m strongly against that. Flip-flops are extremely slippery. 5. If you suffer from knee issues you might face difficulties. Though handrails are available, the height & span of the stair treads are irregular. 6. There are bats in the cave, a lot of bats, but seemingly harmless. Hope my review was helpful. Enjoy your visit.

Small compared to some famous cave systems. But the travertine is lively. It was very cheap to get in and we had it almost to ourselves. Definitely worth a visit

Amazing cave. The size is small, it takes maximum 5 mins to walk around + photos 10 min. In summer time they have a pool with thermal water, in winter the pool is empty. On the territory there are a toilet and a small shop where you can buy sweets and drinks.

This is a well preserved cave located in Denizli, Turkey. It is a short and easy hike to the cave entrance, and the cave itself is not very large, but it is still a beautiful sight to see. The natural water that flows through the cave is a beautiful turquoise color, and the cave walls are covered in stunning travertine formations. The cave is open to visitors for a small fee, and the hike to the entrance is only about 10 minutes long. Once you reach the cave, you can walk through the main chamber and admire the natural beauty of the cave. There are also a few small side chambers that you can explore. The cave is not very large, so you can easily see it all in about 30 minutes. However, the short visit is well worth it for the chance to see such a beautiful natural wonder.
