first stop >>> Hierapolis
Entrance fee TL20, included in the tour.
Hierapolis was founded in 190 B.C. by Eumenes II, King of Pergamon. In the 2nd and 3rd centuries, it reached the height of its development as a Roman thermal bath center. Between the first and fourth centuries, Hierapolis was a city popular with its spas in the Roman Empire. Many queens had beauty baths in the red colored healing thermal waters of the Roman baths with soaps scented with bay leaves and, refreshed, they presented themselves to the Caesars with stalks of grapes.
Christianity started to spread in this area in 1. century AD. Since St. Philip, one of the twelve apostles, was killed here, Hierapolis became a sacred place for the Christians. In 394 it came under the control of the Byzantine Empire and became a center of Bishopric. However, when the Turks came to the area, they wanted to conquer the city and because of continuous wars between the Turks and the Byzantine, the city became a battlefield. Eventually the city grew weaker and weaker until a big earthquake brought an end to its history in the XIII Century.
