Tour Highlights and Itinerary

Your day begins early with a hotel pickup from Antalya around 5:00 AM in a modern, double air-conditioned bus. Relax as you travel approximately three hours toward Denizli, the gateway city to Pamukkale, with a breakfast stop in Korkuteli along the way.

At Pamukkale, you’ll have three hours to explore its iconic sights. Wander through the ancient city of Hierapolis, featuring remarkable ruins like a Roman theatre, temples, baths, and a necropolis. Then, stroll across the dazzling white terraces of Pamukkale’s travertines — natural limestone formations shaped by centuries of mineral-rich thermal water. Take a soothing dip in the warm ponds or, for an extra fee, swim in Cleopatra’s Pool, a historic thermal spring famed for its healing properties and stunning archaeological setting.

After your Pamukkale adventure, enjoy an open buffet lunch at a local restaurant before heading to Salda Lake. Known for its crystal-clear turquoise waters and pure white sandy shores, Salda Lake is often compared to the Maldives and even bears mineral similarities to lakes on Mars! Spend about 90 minutes here swimming, walking along the shore, or simply capturing the breathtaking scenery.

On the return trip to Antalya, there will be a final stop for an open buffet dinner to end your day with a satisfying meal. You’ll arrive back at your hotel around 8:00 PM, filled with memories of a truly spectacular day.
