Comfortable flight, excellent services, amazing memories!! Pamukkale is the place to be folks! Never saw something like this before! The thermal springs are impressive, and the white mountain was just mind blowing. The guide told us we could swim in an ancient thermal pool, and we did. Extra price, but worthy!! Went on to visit an ancient city and listed to some interesting facts about it. I think you should join this tour. It has a bit of everything and you gonna have fun for sure. I have such a great memory from that day.
A wonderful day in Pamukkale! Booked a couple of tours with this company and I was very satisfied with the service. For this one they provided transfers and the flight wasn’t long at all. In Pamukkale we visited all main attractions and had a fun day full of interesting information. My personal favourite was the limestone mountain. I took my time to walk and explore this imposing mountain. My boyfriend liked the ancient city, as he is really into history and things. When we arrived back, we felt super, it’s one of these tours you definitely don’t want to miss. I’m so lucky I went there.
