Description

Discover the travertine terraces of Pamukkale on a day trip from Side with an optional balloon flight. Watch the sunrise, visit the ancient city of Hierapolis, and eat in a local restaurant.
Begin with pickup from your hotel. Sit back on the bus and enjoy a 3-hour ride through the countryside. Ask the guide any questions you have about the area, and stop to buy breakfast if you like. Following this, arrive in Pamukkale. Get ready to ride on the balloon if you have chosen that option.

Listen to a briefing about the balloon flight from a professional pilot, and watch the crew fill the balloon with hot air. Take some photos as well. If you have chosen the option without a balloon ride, you can stand and watch the balloons soaring up into the sky while you stay at the launch site.

Get on the balloon and take off to fly above the ground. Take in the amazing views, including the cotton castle and the ancient city of Hierapolis. After a short while, watch the breathtaking sunrise and marvel at the bright colors that fill the sky during the balloon ride.

Land back on the ground and enjoy a toast with a glass of champagne. Follow your guide to see the calcium terraces of Pamukkale, formed by thermal spring water. Check out Cleopatra's pool as well, and look at the ancient Greek ruins of Hierapolis. Head to a local restaurant for lunch.

Finish eating and then get back on the bus. Drive through the countryside and then arrive at your hotel in Side to finish the activity.
