About Aphrodisias

Aphrodisias was an ancient city named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love. Built near rich marble quarries, it became famous throughout the Roman world for its talented sculptors and beautifully carved monuments. Today, its well-preserved ruins and extraordinary marble sculptures offer a fascinating look at ancient art, religion and daily life.

About Pamukkale and Hierapolis

Pamukkale, meaning “cotton castle” in Turkish, is known for its bright white travertine terraces created by mineral-rich thermal waters. Beside these natural formations stands Hierapolis, an ancient Roman city with a vast necropolis, Roman baths, temples, theatre and historic streets. Together, Pamukkale and Hierapolis form a unique UNESCO World Heritage destination where nature and history meet.
