- Istanbul - DEPARTURES FROM ISTANBUL: Guests will be picked up from their hotel (or Airbnb address if parking is available) in Istanbul and transferred to the airport for their flight to Denizli. Upon arrival at Denizli Cardak Airport, a tour guide and driver will meet them at the arrival terminal exit gate and drive them to Salda Lake for a guided tour.

They will then be driven to Salda Lake for a guided tour. This service is available for bookings with the ‘from-to Pamukkale Hotels’ option.
- Salda Golu - The main attraction is the stunning scenery with white sand and various shades of blue in the magnesium sulphate-rich water. It’s essential to bring a camera for capturing memories. Sandals are recommended due to the coarse gravelly sand. The lake is surrounded by mountains and only one village, keeping it very clean.
- Pamukkale - After visiting Salda Lake, guests will stop at a local restaurant for lunch. Following lunch, they will experience a traditional handcraft workshop to learn about the special stones and metals of Pamukkale. The tour continues to explore the amazing Pamukkale and Hierapolis Ancient City.
- Pamukkale Natural Park - The tour proceeds to Pamukkale Natural Park, a must-visit for nature and history enthusiasts. For centuries, visitors have left feeling rejuvenated. This natural park offers experiences at the white travertines of Pamukkale, Cleopatra Pools, and the ancient city of Hierapolis, all located within Pamukkale Natural Park.
- Hierapolis & Pamukkale - Highlights of the Hierapolis Ancient City include Roman Baths, Domitian Gate, Latrina, Oil Factory, Frontinus Street, Agora, Byzantium Gate, Triton Fountain, Cathedral, Apollon Temple, Plutonium, Theater, and Antique Pool. Visitors can capture photos from the most picturesque spots in Pamukkale.
- Pamukkale Thermal Pools - After visiting the Hierapolis Ancient City, guests will have 60-75 minutes of free time to explore the natural beauty of Pamukkale and swim in the white travertines - thermal pools (Admission to the thermal pools is free with a ticket for Pamukkale Natural Park and Hierapolis Ancient City).
- Cleopatra Pools - Located above the Pamukkale white travertine pools, this spectacular spot is fed by the same hot springs. Here, guests can bathe in the same waters Cleopatra once enjoyed! A professionally run modern spa facility allows for a relaxing experience in these historic healing waters. Unlike the white water of the lower pools, the Antique Pool favored by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, is pure, clear, warm water. It was once topped by a Roman Temple to Apollo with an ornate roof supported by Doric columns. Imagine Cleopatra’s experience in its glory days.
- Kaklik Cave - (This visit is included only in the itinerary for the ‘from-to Istanbul Hotels’ option) The cave formed over 2.5 million years ago during the Pliocene Period. The roof collapsed, allowing entrance. The maximum depth is 14 meters, and inside are several rimstone pools and waterfalls, believed to aid in treating skin diseases and arthritis. Some walls receive enough sunlight to support moss and climbing plants. The cave takes about 20 minutes to explore, with wooden walkways leading through the 190-meter circle.
- Pamukkale - At the end of the tour of Salda Lake, Pamukkale Natural Park, and its surroundings, guests will be dropped off at their hotel in Pamukkale or Karahayit, depending on their pick-up location. If the ‘from-to Istanbul Hotels’ option was booked, they will be transferred to Denizli Çardak Airport for their return flight to Istanbul.
