Pamukkale & Salda Lake Tour
Alanya - Manavgat - Side - Belek - Antalya - Kemer / Tue, Thu, Sun
Overview
Combine two of Türkiye's most photogenic natural wonders in a single unforgettable day: the snow-white travertines of Pamukkale and the turquoise, mineral-rich waters of Salda Lake — often called "Türkiye's Maldives."
At Salda Lake you'll relax on brilliant white beaches made of soft mineral clay and, if you wish, wade into water so clear and blue it has been compared to a tropical lagoon (its white deposits are even studied by NASA for their similarity to Mars). Then it's on to Pamukkale, where you walk the gleaming terraces and explore the ancient spa city of Hierapolis above them.
With a stop in the thermal village of Karahayıt, lunch and a professional guide included, this tour is ideal for travellers who want dramatic scenery and great photos in equal measure.
