Tour program

Early in the morning, tourists are picked up from hotels across the region and in modern comfortable buses go on a fascinating trip. Since the tour is carried out in the mode «all inclusive», tourists are left only to admire beautiful views from the window and to be in anticipation of new adventures.
During the first stop tourists have a tasty and nutritious breakfast, and then go to Salda Lake.

The Turkish Maldives

The sites which are opening to the tourists are stunning! Surrounded by mountains covered by centuries-old pines, there is an amazing spring with white beaches and water that flutters with all shades of aquamarine. The area of the lake is only 45 m², but the maximum depth is 184 m.
Anyone who wants to swim in the azure waters of Lake Salda will be able to relax on a wild beach, astonishing by their pristine beauty. But that’s not all! Nearby there is a source of healing clay, which includes many minerals. Natural mud has a healing effect on the joints or skin.

Trip to Pamukkale

After a stop for buffet lunch in the restaurant (drinks are paid separately), tourists are waiting for a trip to «Cotton Castle», located a half-hour drive from Denisly.
This is a unique creation of nature. Pamukkale Mountain is covered with a brittle polycrystalline rock called travertine. Such a view cools even during the hottest days, and the images in the background of the travertine terraces are fantastic!
As a result of the earthquakes, cracks appeared. Rich in calcium geyser waters emerged through them and formed thermal springs. It is said that many ailments can be cured by swimming here.

Ancient city

The tour route also runs through the sacred city of Hierapolis. It was once a balneological resort popular among the Roman Emperors. Antique amphitheatres have survived to these days. This is a magnificent building designed for 15,000 spectators. Tourists will also have an opportunity to visit the local archaeological museum.

Cleopatra Pool

The trip to Pamukkale also runs through the Cleopatra Pool, which is located just behind the travertines. According to the legend, the Egyptian queen herself swam in the waters of this thermal spring. When you’re in the pool, you feel like you’re in a bottle of champagne.
Travellers will also visit the hot spring of Karahait. After a tasty dinner in the restaurant, tourists are transferred back to the hotels.

This comfortable trip is suitable for people of all ages, the tour includes three meals a day, accompanied by an English-speaking guide, who will be happy to share a huge amount of information. During the trip you will not only rest, relieve stress, replenish your knowledge, but also heal and get a valuable experience!
