Highlights
-
Hierapolis & Pamukkale - Embark on a day-long journey starting early in the morning with a pickup from your hotel in Antalya, leading to a scenic drive to Pamukkale. Post a midday meal, you’ll explore the enigmatic Cotton Palace with its snow-white, terraced formations. There’s an opportunity to bathe in the thermal springs. For an additional charge, you can also choose to soak in Cleopatra’s Pool.
Situated in Denizli province, this unique natural wonder has been a point of attraction for those visiting the ancient spa city of Hierapolis, established by the Attalid dynasty of Pergamon in the late 2nd century BC. The healing properties of the hot springs were harnessed in various thermal facilities, including vast warm water basins and swimming pools. These hydrotherapeutic activities were often paired with religious observances tied to the region’s indigenous faiths.
The significance of the city was heightened by the martyrdom of Saint Philip, one of the twelve Apostles of Jesus Christ, who was executed there in 80 AD.

picturesque, wonderfull, historical - That was wonderfull. Thank you to the guide for telling us so much interesting about the site. Definitely recommend to attend with SMOOTH TRAVEL. Еverything was so on a high level that we did not notice how time flew by, despite the fact that it was a very long way.

Smooth travel antalya - Was absolute crap. Driver/tour guide not very friendly and didn't speak very fluent English. Not very informative either and the lunch at the restaurant included was absolute crap with poor quality food and very slow service. I would not recommend this tour

Do Not Recommend - Pamukkale was awesome - Smooth Travel was not. Barbaros had his garbled spiel about the history of Pamukkale but couldn't answer any questions about it. He charged two of us 200 Lira to swim in the Cleopatra Pools when the website states it only costs 50 Lira per ticket so clearly we were ripped off - we should have just opted to buy our own tickets. Barbaros also pretended like he was being a nice guy stopping for "souvenirs" on the way back, but he ambushed us by sending us to some jewelry store where we were forced to follow a guide down to a dark room for a presentation. Long story short - none of us ever got Pamukkale souvenirs. The 3 hour drive to and from Denizli was absolutely torturous. The drive there was fine - it was stuffy and I had my mask on (while Barbaros did not). On the way back, I'm certain that Barbaros was punishing us for rendezvousing 30 minutes late after having to walk back down Pamukkale as he refused to turn on the air conditioning higher than the first notch on 20 deg C the entire 3 hours home despite 3 of the 4 tour members asking him to turn up the air. I was fanning myself, holding water bottles up to my face, using my wet towel from the pools to help cool myself and it was extremely obvious that Barbaros did not care about our comfort - he just wanted to go home to sleep. I was sick after we returned from the tour and did not recover for two hours. I absolutely do not recommend this tour and would recommend taking the trip from Fethiye instead or with any other tour operator that will not rip you off.

DO NOT RECOMMEND - Very bad tour! DO NOT RECOMMEND
No tour guide instructions so you don’t know what is happening at what time
We were left at the first stop with our bags thrown on the road!!We spent additional money to hire a taxi to catch up and the tour guide did not respond to any messages or calls on a timely basis
The tour guide was not clear and further did not wait for us when my partner was injured and continued the tour and therefore we missed a significant amount.
DO NOT RECOMMEND
