lt is a one-day eventful excursion, during which we did not have a single minute to get bored. We left the hotel very early, at 6 am. After a couple of hours of travel we stopped for breakfast, for which we paid separately. The views even at the entrance to Pamukkale are simply mesmerizing. We visited not only Pamukkale, but also the ancient city of Hierapolis, whose amphitheater simply amazes the imagination with its size and degree of preservation. So many stories, revised pictures – only a tenth of the miracle that we saw with our own eyes! White slope, hot sun and warm water – I would sit there for days. Thank you for helping to make our trip unforgettable.
A day full of wonderful sites, do book this tour and you wont regret it! Went there a week ago with some friends, and we can’t forget the images we got! The best part for us was the thermal springs. We had swimsuits with us, so we did miss the chance to experience this. The water in cleopatra’s pool was so warm and nice. The travertines were impressive, the perfect spot to snap photos!! Lunch was tasty, and the whole tour was perfectly executed by the company. 5 stars for the organization, a trustworthy company to book your tours!
What an amazing day! I will always have Pamukkale in my heart! Went on this a couple of days ago, and I still feel stunned by the power and beauty of nature! One of the things I wanted to see was, of course, the white mountain. I mean, WOW! It was better than the pictures! There was a guide with us and gave us many infos on the sites. The ancient city was also amazing. I had no idea about the history of the area, so visiting the site was a good thing. Pamukkale has such an amazing atmosphere. I felt relaxed and excited at the same time! An excellent tour!
