It was a very nice visit. Salda Lake is beautiful, and Pamukkale and Hierapolis are stunning as well. Our guide was excellent. A minor downside was that we stopped twice at shops, which felt unfortunate since we only had two hours to visit Pamukkale. An extra hour on site would have been better. Unfortunately, we couldn’t swim in the limestone travertines. The meals were buffet style simple but good.
