About this experience
This full-day tour from Antalya to Pamukkale and Salda Lake combines natural beauty, ancient history, and relaxation in one unforgettable journey. Unlike standard tours, this experience gives you the chance to walk barefoot on the surreal white travertines of Pamukkale, explore the fascinating ruins of the ancient Roman city of Hierapolis, and optionally swim in the legendary Cleopatra Pool, where ancient columns lie beneath crystal-clear thermal waters.
But that’s not all—on the return trip, we include a stop at the breathtaking Salda Lake, often called the “Turkish Maldives” for its white sandy shores and turquoise waters. Few tours offer both Pamukkale and Salda in a single day!
Small group atmosphere with a professional, speaking guide
Flexible free time to explore, relax, or swim
Comfortable transportation and well-planned breaks
