About this experience
You will visit the legendary terraces of Pamukkale and the paradise lake of Salda. In one day, you will relax on one of the best beaches in Turkey, see the travertine terraces with aquamarine water, feel the spirit of antiquity in Hierapolis, and plunge into Cleopatra's pool. Each location of the journey will stay in your heart - and in photos!
What to expect
- Paradise Lake Salda - a branch of the Maldives in Turkey. In the Taurus Mountains in western Turkey, you will meet the incredibly beautiful Salda Lake. You will spend an hour and a half relaxing on the snow-white sand and enjoying the view of the crystal clear water of a bright turquoise shade.
- Magnificent Pamukkale - a natural phenomenon called the 'eighth wonder of the world'! Before you is a snow-white mountain of travertine - fragile crystalline rock that forms cascading terraces and pools filled with transparent aquamarine water. A sight worthy of a thousand photographs!
- Ancient Hierapolis - a Roman resort built around the travertine in the 2nd century BC. On the streets of the city, you will see an amphitheater, many temples, fountains, baths, and other structures. And the local mineral thermal water, which was used for the treatment of various diseases even in antiquity, is still famous for its healing properties to this day.
- Ancient Cleopatra's Pool, which is built on the site of ancient Roman baths. You will relax in the source among soft bubbles and appreciate the beneficial effects of the pool on the skin.
