Hierapolis Archaeological Museum — Attraction in Pamukkale

If you are a tourist and planning to buy a ticket entrance, read this ⤵️

The Pamukkale Travertines are truly stunning, and the site itself is very enjoyable. However, what is significantly bad is our experience of being forced to purchase a full ticket with unnecessary elements simply because we are tourists. We were required to buy wireless headsets included in our ticket, and the total cost of the visit ended up being much higher than expected.

When we asked of the price of the visit with no additional elements, we were reassured. But after my credit card was charged, the staff handed us two headsets from nowhere and informed us there were no refunds, and we had to keep them. This felt deeply disappointing.

Hierapolis Archaeological Museum | This museum is housed in the ancient Roman Bath structure within the Hierapolis archaeological site, making it not only a place to see artifacts but also an artifact itself. The restored bath complex displays impressive collections of statues, sarcophagi, and decorative reliefs excavated from Hierapolis and nearby Laodicea, Colossae, and Tripolis. The well-preserved sculptures from the Roman and Hellenistic periods provide a powerful glimpse into the life and art of this ancient region. If you're already visiting the travertines or Apostle Philip’s tomb, this museum is absolutely worth a stop. The museum does not require a separate ticket—it is included in the general entrance fee for Hierapolis and Pamukkale.
