Article Visit of Hierapolis

Once you leave the snowy Pamukkale, you will get to the first ruins on one side and the museum on the other.
 

Another smaller and interesting building on the way to the theater is Nymphaeum.
 

The first longer stop during the tour around the ruins of Hierapolis are usually old spa. Many tourists look forward to bathe here in the sacred ancient pool with healing pamukkale water among the remnants of ancient columns, but the vast majority of romantically minded travelers will be discouraged by overcrowding and exorbitant entrance fees.
 

The most important monument in the whole town is great and very well restored theater. But the ascent here in the midday heat is very demanding.

From the theater high-lying in the slope is a nice view of the museum and preserved buildings around it, which are unfortunately behind a fence, and spa pavilion.
 

From the theater, you can set out to the place, where St. Philip was crucified and stoned in year 80.
 

Going further north, you will discover all kinds of interesting tombs in the slopes above the sights. This place is very far from being crowded.
 

Necropolis in Hierapolis is said to be the largest ancient burial ground throughout Anatolia.
 

Walk back down from the theater along the other, less widely used, path. In addition, you will be able to see stage building of skene (building where actors change their costumes).
