We invite tourists to visit Pamukkale and Salda Lake from Alanya. The tour is divided into two parts. Before lunch you will visit the lake, which tourists call Turkish Maldives. As soon as you get to this place, you’ll know why it’s got such an interesting title. In the second part of the tour, you’ll visit Pamukkale. This city is famous for its snow-white terraces consisting of travertines and calcium. There are healing thermal springs, the waters of which have a beneficial effect on the human body. And, of course, tourists will visit the Cleopatra pool, which is associated with a fascinating legend.
A bus departs directly from your hotel and heads towards Salda Lake. But before that the couch makes a stop, so that the tourists have a good breakfast and gain strength before an interesting but long journey.
Salda Lake immediately amazes with its white beaches and the clearest azure water. It feels like you’ve traveled through an unprecedented portal from Turkey to the Maldives. The lake has an area of almost 45 square kilometres, making it one of the largest in the country. Here you can swim in warm water. You can also take photographs of the surrounding vegetation.
Being accompanied with an experienced guide you arrive in Pamukkale in the afternoon. It is located 20 kilometers from the city of Denizli. In Pamukkale the program is very interesting and rich. You are offered to visit the following places of interest:
• The ancient city of Hierapolis. Back in antiquity, the richest people from all over the Roman Empire came here to be treated. They knew that in the city of Hierapolis there were healing thermal springs. Nowadays, there are ruins on the site of the ancient settlement. You should visit the amphitheatre here.
• Terraces are made of travertine and are considered as a visiting card of the «cotton castle» (this is exactly how Pamukkale is translated from Turkish). White and blue terraces of travertine are known all over the world. Here are the thermal springs whose waters have healing abilities.
• The Cleopatra Pool. It is said that the Egyptian queen herself bathed in this natural spring. So, she wanted to stop time and prolong her youth, as she believed in the ancient legend. Cleopatra pool is often crowded, but there’s plenty of space for all the tourists.
• The hot spring of Karahayit. Its waters have an unusual yellow-red hue. The palette also includes brown color. The unusual tone indicates that this water is saturated with iron oxide. The water is also useful for the body.
