Tour Description:
Trade the coastline for crystalline waters and surreal landscapes with this all-in-one day tour from Alanya to Pamukkale and Salda Lake — two of Turkey’s most mesmerizing natural wonders.
This full-day guided adventure begins with a comfortable, air-conditioned bus pickup from your hotel. Your first stop: a traditional buffet breakfast, preparing you for a day of unforgettable exploration.
The journey then leads to the iconic white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Here you’ll explore the ancient city of Hierapolis, including its grand amphitheater and the largest necropolis in the region. Your English-speaking guide will share stories and secrets of this once-sacred Roman spa town.
You’ll then have free time to soak in the mineral-rich Cleopatra Pool (optional, additional cost) or wander the cotton-like formations and take stunning photographs.
After a delicious traditional Turkish lunch, the journey continues to Salda Lake — known globally as the “Turkish Maldives.” Famous for its turquoise waters and white mineral-rich shores, this volcanic crater lake is unlike anything you’ve seen.
Enjoy free time for swimming, sunbathing, or simply taking in the surreal landscape — a true paradise for photographers and nature lovers alike.
On the return, you’ll stop for a hearty buffet-style dinner, before being comfortably dropped off at your hotel in Alanya.
