Hierapolis ancient theater

What a stunning theatre! It was very complete and original compared to many that we have seen around Europe. This theatre is underrated in our opinion. It was a steep walk from the travertines, but there were other things to see along the way. It's definitely worth the visit.

Good place to understand the ancient history! You have to walk up a bit from the travertines and worth.. better to visit early hours or during a sunset

You should go there while visiting the complex. Impressive theater. Beautiful view from there. Possible to make very nice pics . Our guide bought tickets for visiting.

The best amphitheatre I have ever seen. İt was almost empty when we visited so we had it to ourselves and it was spectacular. Still in very good condition. Amazing to sit and close your eyes and think that you were actually sat within Roman empire history. Definitely recommend coming to see here when you visit Denizli, you won't be disappointed.
Perfect photo opportunities too 10/10

Absolutely stunning! It’s a steep little hike to the top but it’s totally worth it! Take a moment to enjoy the view and clap your hands.

Carved into the hills surrounding the ancient city the great Roman Theater is truly one of the most stunning elements of the Hierapolis Archaeological Site. Its stunning architecture, friezes, and location make it one of the best-preserved theaters in Turkey. At its peak, it would have had a seating capacity of over 10,000 people. While there was also a suburban theater that has been nearly completely destroyed by earthquakes, it is this main central theater that encompasses the majesty of this once prosperous ancient city.
Excavation of the theater began in 1957 by the Italian Archaeological Mission and in 1988 the Hierapolis-Pamukkale Archaeological Site was made a UNESCO World Heritage Site. The theater went under an extensive restoration project by the Italian Archaeological Mission from 2009-20013 with funding from the Turkish Ministry of Culture. The beautiful stage that visitors can take in is the result of their efforts. As it stands today, the current stage is mostly the original stone pieced together with modern stabilizers and replicas of the original sculptures contained in the Hierapolis Archaeology Museum.

Well preserved Roman history. The theatre is huge and has stairs to go down but they are dangerous too. We enjoyed the view from top.

So incredible, definitely worth visiting, we were blown away. Add it to your trip for sure. If it is a hot day go in the early am, we went at 6:30 am to avoid the heat and we also beat the crowds. In the afternoon you can't even find a parking spot.

Unfortunetly there's no shadow on the way there and the climb, although not that steep, can be exhausting on a hot summer day. But it is well worth it, as the ruins are in a good condition and the view from that last steps is great. I would have loved to see an ancient play performed here.

this is the largest ancient theater we visited in Turkey. beautiful, lots of small details, various incomprehensible inscriptions.

Very beautifull at sunset time. You can see a very very breathaking view.

It was truly a marvel when entering this place. It's part of Hierapolis ancient city complex and feel free to spare some time to hike and check out all the areas.
Guided tour is recommended if you're really into history, let the story take you back to the time when Roman Empire rules.

Great place, large and sprawling together with the 'cotton castles'. The entrance fee is 700 Turkish lira but you have to pay extra to bathe in the Antique Pool.

Spectacular place, makes you go through to space and time back to the Roman empire.
From the entrance we can walk the whole complex or take a shuttle to reach the amphitheater which is the biggest magnificent & ancient building.
There is also a travertine terrace of thermal spring water, where we put our feet in and walk around.
Definitely worth to visit, don’t miss it, especially the amphitheater.

Ephesus also has an amphitheater, but on a larger scale. These large buildings in the ancient city are really amazing to see. Even if you don't go to the museum, I recommend going here. You will have to walk quite a bit to see most of the ruins of Hierapolis. Wear comfortable shoes.

The filming spot for ghost rider. View to the valley is amazing, better than the view at pammukkale terrace. Best spot to chill, except you need to walk like 1km to the top of the hill or better, hire a shuttle bus, costs around 11 usd per person. Saves you 45 minutes of walking

Hierapolis Roman Theatre or Pamukkale Theatre is truly one of the most stunning monuments in Hierapolis Archaeological Site and 600 meters walk from Travertines of Pamukkale. The view from top of it is relay amazing. The theatre still is in intact condition compared to other theatres in Turkey. Satisfaction exceeds expectation. Anyone should not miss it when visit Pamukkale.

One of the iconic place in turkey.
If you are planning to visit Turkey Pamukkale should be in your list this old theater is giving you amazing historical view along the old Town.

There is also a museum there where old coins and stones are there both covered and open museum are present.

It's near to hot water spring you can visit this place in a same day.

You can get a flight from İstanbul to Denizli and then by taxi you can reach here.

Large Roman city with some good preserved bits such as the amphitheater. Lots to wander and see ideally when it’s not too hot although you can rent a golf buggy. You can also swim in the hot mineral water in Cleopatra’s pool which is extra cost. Also has great views across the valley and the ticket includes the travertines.

Most people would go to the Hierapolis hotspring but this also is a show stealer. It used to be a theatre for ancient people and the sunset backdrop makes it a gorgeous place for photos. Do remember to wear shoes as the area is pretty rocky and uneven at times.
