Description
Discover the natural wonders of Pamukkale and Salda Lake on a full-day tour from Side, including hotel transfers, lunch, and a guided visit to Hierapolis.
Experience one of Turkey’s most iconic natural and historical destinations on this full-day Pamukkale and Salda Lake tour from Alanya.
Your journey begins with an early morning hotel pickup, followed by a comfortable drive through scenic landscapes toward southwestern Turkey. After a short break along the way, continue to your first major stop — the breathtaking Salda Lake, often called the “Turkish Maldives” thanks to its white sandy shores and crystal-clear turquoise waters. Here, you will have free time to explore, relax, and take stunning photos.
After visiting Salda Lake, the tour continues to Pamukkale, where you will enjoy a delicious lunch at a local restaurant. Following lunch, discover the world-famous white travertine terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters. Walk along the designated paths and admire the unique natural formations of this UNESCO-listed site.
Above the terraces lies the ancient city of Hierapolis. With your professional guide, explore its fascinating ruins, including the Roman Theatre, ancient streets, and historical structures that reveal the rich history of the region.
You will also have the option to swim in the Cleopatra Antique Pool, known for its warm mineral waters and submerged ancient columns (extra fee).
At the end of the tour, relax during the return journey back to Alanya, with drop-off at your hotel in the evening.
