Tour Itinerary

Morning Flight

Pick-up from your hotel at around 06:30 for the 09:15 flight. You are met at Denizli Airport and transferred to Pamukkale.

Pamukkale

Pamukkale is famous for its white cascades of calcium springs. There are 17 hot-water springs here; as the water reaches the surface it loses carbon dioxide and calcium bicarbonate settles to form the beautiful white terraces. It is a joy to see this natural wonder, and you can walk through Pamukkale and even relax in the warm water of the ancient pool.

Hierapolis

Built just above the hot springs of Pamukkale, Hierapolis is a mighty ancient city and a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Founded in the 2nd century BC by the King of Pergamon and later a Roman city, it was famous for its sanctuaries and as an important trade centre, especially for purple dye and textile production.

Return Flight

After the tour you are transferred to the airport for the evening flight back to Istanbul.
