A true experience!!! Don’t miss it!!! It was a bit far to get there but deserved every single minute! Salda is out of this world, it looks like a painting honestly. No wonder why people call it “Maldives”. Spent some time and went around exploring and taking photos. Unfortunately we couldn’t swim that period of the year, but still it was beautiful. Then we went to Pamukkale and witnessed all this beauty. I mean, if you have time you should join this tour. All the places were stunning and picture perfect! Service was also good! Unbelievable!!!
Super combo, value for money tour!! I was there two weeks ago alone and I booked several tours with this company. These guys are the best in town. Professionals and friendly, with some useful tips! They told me to go on this tour and they were right. Every place we visited was a feast for the eyes. Like heaven! Pamukkale is such an awesome place. Went to the ancient city and saw the thermal springs on the white balconies. Oh wow!!! The lake was also impressive. it has an exotic atmosphere, like I wasn’t in Turkey. Such an amazing tour and first-class service. Bravo to all!
It was a long but an amazing day out from Alanya. The tour is very well organized, to visit Salda Lake and Pamukkale on the same day is a great opportunity.
