Your full-day Pamukkale & Salda Lake adventure starts with a prompt hotel transfer from the City of Side. En route, opt for a traditional Turkish breakfast in the Taurus foothills (extra charge), then journey on to Salda Lake. Known as the “Turkish Maldives,” its crystal-clear waters and white sandy shore invite you to swim, sunbathe, and capture unforgettable photos in this surreal landscape.
Next, head to the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pamukkale, where you’ll have time for a delicious optional lunch at a local restaurant. Afterward, visit a nearby wine house to sample regional vintages and shop for handmade delights. Your expert guide Murat then leads you through Hierapolis Ancient City—wandering its Necropolis, Roman baths, and the Martyrion of St. Philip—before you tread barefoot on Pamukkale’s iconic travertine terraces, formed over millennia by mineral-rich springs.
For a final indulgence, dive into history with an optional swim in Cleopatra’s Pool (entry extra), where submerged columns lie beneath warm, therapeutic waters. As dusk falls, enjoy an included dinner at a traditional Turkish restaurant before settling back into your air-conditioned bus for the scenic return to the City of Side. With no hidden fees and small groups for personal attention, this tour promises memories of nature, culture, and pure relaxation. Secure your spot now!
