The Roman amphitheater in Pamukkale is one of the few that has been preserved from the ancient city of Hierapolis, which dates back to the 2nd century BC.
The structure is considered one of the largest in Turkey and the best preserved, despite the fact that it suffered from earthquakes many times, and once was completely destroyed.
The amphitheater could accommodate up to 15,000 spectators and for a long time served as a venue for gladiatorial fights. The seats for ordinary people are made of stone, and for special guests there is a marble bed in the very center.
Come and be inspired at any time of the year.
Well-preserved ruins of the amphitheater and other buildings. There is also a museum nearby, where sculptures and parts of architectural structures from antiquity are on display. It is interesting to walk around and look at the remains of ancient civilizations.
A very beautiful place with a very sad past. White calcareous mountain with warm water sources of 35 degrees, ancient-ruined buildings. Now it is a museum of the Greco-Roman civilization
Everything is great! It's a picturesque place, but it's very hot under the scorching sun. In addition to the steep ascent, there is also a mountain descent! I advise you to take a hat and stock up on water.
A picturesque place, quite large and impressive amphitheater. You can walk up the stairs or just sit and enjoy the view. Nearby, there were also excellent clearings with something like poppies, which was also very beautiful.
It is a very beautiful, colorful place, it is clear that landscaping work is underway, but unfortunately it is still far from ideal, for example, there is a paved path for tourists only on one side of the theater.
And I liked it here. The only thing I would like to clarify is that with small children, you will not walk around here. The child will get tired. I need a stroller. You'll have to go a lot of places. It's also better not to go in the heat. In general, Pamukale takes all day! But the sunset must be met here..
Very comfortable, calm. Remember that concert tickets can only be purchased online. If the hotel guides had helped in this matter, there would have been even more positive emotions

A grandiose antique building. It is located near the Pamukale springs. It is better to get to it on foot and see the surroundings and walk along the remains of ancient roads, or take a shuttle bus or book an on-site tour. There is only one entrance to the springs and the ancient city. It cost 30 euros in January 2025 or as part of a museum pass- museum card for 90 euros
A beautifully preserved ancient amphitheater. It has been restored. The elements of the scene-statues and columns - are perfectly preserved. It is difficult to go to him-uphill and in the heat, but he is worth it!
It is located on a slight rise, it is easy to go up in autumn, in summer it may be difficult for some - you can take a buggy-type transport, they will take you to the sights.
A nice beautiful place, incredibly beautiful! It's easy to breathe, I recommend it 👍

It is a very beautiful and majestic place. From the top of the amphitheater there is a beautiful view of the whole of Dalina. And when you sit in the role of a spectator, at some point you realize that for several thousand years people have been sitting here and watching the fights. At the moment, you involuntarily begin to experience unforgettable emotions and interesting thoughts come. The only point that should be taken into account is the lack of places where you can hide from the sun, it is better to go either earlier there or later, when the sun is not so scorching. There is a small tent nearby with drinks and snacks, so you won't die of thirst and you won't stay hungry if you suddenly didn't take anything with you. As a rule, guides with groups go there and tell the story of the amphitheater, if you come without a guide, you will still hear the story of its creation. Have a good time👍😁
It is a very interesting and picturesque place. The amphitheater is well preserved, you can sit and walk there. There are beautiful places, ruins, and crypts all around. The story comes to life!!
I admire this building. But it is better to go by car, otherwise there is not enough time to enjoy the ruins, because tourists need to be brought to the shops. Breakfast is disgusting on the way. If it hadn't been for the visits to the shops, you could have left after breakfast. It's just a shame.
My legs are tired of walking)))))) The place is cool, there are plenty of tourists. Of the minuses, those who came in a group are served out of turn, because there are more money immediately for tickets, and if you come by yourself, you will wait until all the groups fly to the entrance. It is necessary to climb blindly((
It's an amazing place, the Romans used to be able to build for centuries! However, it's hard to climb there, it's very hot and there are a lot of stones that you can stumble over
Impressive! Especially the acoustics.
You can walk for 40 minutes, sit, think about bygone civilizations, imagine what the city was like thousands of years ago, and, of course, take pictures. )
It's very hot in the afternoon!
Have a good rest)
