Pick up: The excursion begins early in the morning. A comfortable bus will pick you up from your hotel in Alanya. A local tour guide will welcome you in the bus and inform you about the final details of the schedule. Before arriving at the first stop of your tour, a short breakfast break will take place so you can refresh yourself.

The Turkish Maldives: Salda Lake is famous as the Turkish Maldives. This is because the waters are turquoise and are surrounded by white sand and white rock formations. An interesting highlight is that the lake is the cleanest in the country. There, you will have one hour of free time to spend as you wish. During this time, you may swim into the lake or walk around to explore the majestic and exotic landscape. Do not forget to take some pictures as Salda Lake is truly stunning.

Lunch: After an hour at the lake, the bus will transfer you towards Pamukkale. A lunch break will take place before reaching Pamukkale at a local restaurant.

Ancient city of Hierapolis: Once you arrive at Pamukkale, the tour guide will take you to explore the ancient city of Hierapolis. This city used to be a spiritual and healing centre during antiquity. Among the things you can observe there are houses, a necropolis, a theatre, and Roman baths. The tour guide will let you know interesting facts about the history and the importance of the ruins.

Cotton Castle: At Pamukkale there is also an impressive limestone mountain that has naturally shaped terraces filled with thermal water. The Cotton Castle is clearly an exceptional site to visit. Take your time to walk around and take some pictures of the site. In case you are interested in thermal pools, in Pamukkale you can also visit and swim in an antique thermal pool, the Cleopatra’s Pool. Please note that entering the pool comes at an extra cost.
