Pamukkale Individual Tour – Salda Lake

An individual tour is an opportunity to visit two unique attractions and not depend on a tourist group.

You travel in a comfortable climate-controlled car without wasting time while waiting for the rest of the group. You have the opportunity to adjust the program and stay in the place you like as long as you want, not as long as the travel schedule provides.

You will visit Salda Lake, which is located in the crater of an extinct volcano. It is the cleanest and deepest lake in Turkey. Its azure water resembles the sea. The shores are covered with white remnants of volcanic rocks which don’t get warmer even in the heat. Therefore, it is always pleasant to walk barefoot on the shore of the lake. The combination of azure-coloured water and white coastline reminds many tourists of Maldives.

Water to the lake comes from underground sources. Even on a hot summer day, its temperature does not exceed 20°C. It is potable and has medicinal properties.

Salda Lake has deposits of healing clay. Due to its high mineral content, it heals wounds and makes the skin soft and silky.

After enjoying your rest on the shores of Salda Lake, you will go to Pamukkale. Its white travertines resemble an alien landscape. Here, in the II century BC, one of the first resorts in the ancient world, the city of Hierapolis, was launched.

The guide will tell you incredible stories about Pamukkale and show you where you can take the best photos.

According to one legend, an ugly girl, desperate to find a groom, threw herself into one of the pools and turned into a beautiful woman. The healing properties of the local sources were used to maintain the beauty of the Egyptian queen Cleopatra. You can swim in the pool named after her.

In antiquity, people believed that Pamukkale was the gateway to the realm of death god called Pluto. In Hierapolis there was a temple dedicated to the ruler of the underworld.

An individual tour to Salda Lake and Pamukkale will bring you many pleasant memories.
