Night at the Ancient City: Pamukkale Glows Under the Stars

Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site known for its white travertine terraces and the ancient city of Hierapolis, has joined the ranks of sites embracing "nighttime museology." Following the lead of Ephesus, another renowned archaeological site in Turkey, Pamukkale has implemented a lighting project that allows visitors to explore its wonders even after the sun sets.


This exciting development means that the travertines and the ancient city of Hierapolis are now accessible until midnight every day. Visitors can experience the magic of Pamukkale under the night sky using their existing entrance tickets, without any additional fees.


The illumination project offers a unique perspective on this natural and historical marvel. The soft glow of lights enhances the intricate formations of the travertines and reveals the architectural details of Hierapolis in a whole new way.

This initiative not only extends visiting hours but also promotes tourism and provides a unique experience for those seeking a different kind of adventure. Whether you're a history enthusiast, a nature lover, or simply looking for a magical evening, Pamukkale after dark promises an unforgettable experience.
