Stop At: Pamukkale, Pamukkale

After a pickup from your Kusadasi hotel, head to Denizli Province to visit Pamukkale –Turkey’s most incredible natural wonder. Meaning ‘cotton castle,’ this stunning UNESCO World Heritage Site consists of dazzling white travertine rock terraces that seem to flow down 656-foot (200-meter) cliffs. From a distance, the travertine terraces almost look like snowy cliffs or frozen waterfalls, but in fact they are mineral deposits from Pamukkale’s hot springs.
Walk around these fascinating rocks and see the naturally formed bathing pools while learning about their geology from your guide. Views from Pamukkale are unforgettable – see the white travertine terraces contrasting with brown mountains in the distance, and then walk up to Hierapolis, the ancient Greco-Roman city with crumbling ruins and geothermic bathing pools. Enjoy time at leisure here, and be sure to bring your bathing suit as the pools are definitely worth a dip (entrance fee is at your own expense)!

We highly recommend! Cagman was our tour guide and he had a wealth of knowledge to provide he and the driver were very professional and courteous at all times. Cagman even went the extra mile and helped us plan our own day trip to Izmir and Pergamon would definitely consider booking again if ever in the area!

I enjoyed this tour very much! First of all, our guide, provided us just very useful information about the places we visited. He accommodates questions from everyone and gave us enough time to explore the places on our own. He also has a good sense of humor which made the tour more fun.

It was a long ride 3 hours there and 3 hours back but the Mercedes mini bus was nice and the guide phenomenal and friendly. There is a lot of walking so if you cant do that I recommend renting a cart. The whit hills and pools are a sight to behold. There were lots of people but quite manageable. We stopped and the linen factory and bought some awesome table cloths and towels at a reasonable price. The amphitheater in the the ruins was phenomenal. Would definitely do it once but don't think i would go back because of the six hours traveling.

Our guide was fantastic and extremely knowledgeable about the area. He gave great suggestions for routes and was very open to all kinds of questions about the site. Since I visited in August the pools were really crowded so I didnt swim, but the site itself is very beautiful and worth the visit. My two complaints are the tourism stop we made at the Onyx workshop, which was essentially a ploy to get us to buy stuff. It wasnt on the itinerary and I felt that it was a little heavy handed to add that in without telling us. We also stopped at a crowded buffet restaurant for lunch that wasnt very good.
