Can you do an Excursion from Antalya to Pamukkale in One day?
The cheapest and slowest way to get from Antalya to Pamukkale in one day is by bus from Antalya to Pamukkale and back, which would cost you approx 300 YTL per person. You would drive 3,5-hour to Denizli Bus Station and 30 min fro Bust station to Pamukkale which would make an 8-hour drive trip in total for your journey.
The other way would be to take a taxi, which would be faster but as well the most expensive way to reach your destination.
The best configuration would be to take a daily Pamukkale excursion from Antalya to Pamukkale, which offers cheap and fast in both ways.
Is one day enough to visit Pamukkale and Hierapolis?
It should be enough if you are just interested to see the Pamukkale Travertines. If you want to take your time to visit it all and see as well the red water travertines in Karahayit and other places such as Kaklik Cave and Laodicea which is situated 10 km from Pamukkale we suggest you stay at least one night in Pamukkale.
Can you visit other places around Pamukkale for one-day?
Pamukkale and the area offer much more than just the white travertines. In the area, we do have the red thermal Springs of Karahayit, with the red travertines and the thermal mudbaths. We do have the little cousin of Pamukkale that is underground ‘‘Kaklik Cave”, which has an amazing same structure as the Pamukkale Travertines. A little further we do have Salda Lake which is called the Maldives of Turkey.
