Pamukkale and Hierapolis with Lake Salda Tour from Alanya

Delving deep into the Anatolian countryside, you'll also visit Hierapolis, Lake Salda, and have the chance to see Cleopatra's Pool. Muzaffer, one of our expert guides, says: "Legend has it that Cleopatra's Pool was the secret to her beauty. I don't know if that's true, but it's an inspiring place for a dip. Collapsed columns and marble remains dating back to Cleopatra's time are submerged in the thermal waters. They fell here during the 7th-century earthquake." Leaving Antalya early in the morning, you'll arrive at Lake Salda after a few hours of scenic travel. It's been compared to the Maldives for its long white beaches and multicolored blue waters. You'll have free time to take some photos of this otherworldly place. We'll head to Pamukkale for lunch. Afterward, take a look at the brilliant white calcite terraces—they look like icy stalactites dripping from pools of azure water. Perched atop these travertines is Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Stroll through the Byzantine Gate and marvel at the ruins as you make your way to the vast, bowl-shaped theater. It's epic. Afterwards, you can relax with a dip in the warm waters of Cleopatra's Ancient Pool, where you swim among ancient columns. Dinner at a forest restaurant on the way back is included. Plus, every purchase from this experience donates to CYDD, a charity that supports the education of underprivileged children in Türkiye.
