Lake Salda - Pamukkale - Travertines - Ancient City of Hierapolis
A JOURNEY TO THE WHITE WONDER OF NATURE AND HISTORY
Following our journey throughout the night, we start the day energetically with a free breakfast break in the morning. After breakfast, we arrive at Lake Salda, one of nature’s most extraordinary formations, known as the “Maldives of Turkey”. Reaching a depth of approximately 184 meters, Salda is one of the deepest lakes in Turkey and offers visitors a unique view with its snow-white beaches and turquoise waters. After our photo break here, we bid farewell to this natural beauty.
Following our visit to Lake Salda, we depart at the scheduled time and arrive in the Pamukkale region. The Pamukkale Travertines, which captivate visitors with their snow-white travertines and have counterparts only in Italy worldwide, invite us into an almost fairytale-like atmosphere. While walking among the natural terraces, we take a short break on the travertines overlooking the Denizli Plain and have the opportunity to photograph this unique natural wonder.
Continuing our tour, we arrive at the Ancient City of Hierapolis, one of the important centers of the ancient world. Here, accompanied by our guide, we receive information about the Temple of Apollo and the Plutonium (Devil’s Hole), known in ancient times as the “Gate of Hell.” We then visit the Ancient Theater of Hierapolis, one of the best-preserved ancient theaters in Anatolia. This impressive structure brings the life of thousands of years ago vividly before our eyes.
After our tour immersed in history and nature, we go to a textile factory in the region to see Denizli’s world-famous textile products and shop. Following the free time here, we proceed to our hotel to rest.

SEA, HISTORY AND ENTERTAINMENT AMONG THE PEARLS OF THE AEGEAN
After breakfast at the hotel in the morning, we leave our hotel and arrive at Çeşme, the apple of Turkish tourism’s eye after a pleasant journey of approximately one hour. Our first stop in Çeşme, one of the Aegean’s most special coastal cities, is Çeşme Castle, commissioned by Bayezid II in 1508. We visit this historic structure, which offers a magnificent view of the sea, and learn about the history of the region from our guide.
Following our visit to Çeşme Castle, we have free time in Çeşme Bazaar. During this time, you can explore the unique atmosphere of the region, go shopping and experience the vibrant life of the Aegean up close. After our free time, we reach Alaçatı, known as Agrillia in ancient times and now world-famous, after a short journey.
We enjoy free time in Alaçatı, a favorite destination especially for surfing enthusiasts, with its eye-catching stone houses, narrow streets, windmills and year-round winds. We continue our tour amid the bohemian atmosphere of this unique town.
Following our visit to Alaçatı, we head to Ilıca Beach. At this beach, famous for its turquoise sea and fine sand, we take a swimming break and enjoy the cool waters of the Aegean. After enjoying the sea, we set off toward İzmir city center.
Upon arriving in İzmir, our first stop is Konak Square. Here, we see the Konak Clock Tower, which has become a symbol of the city, and the Journalist Hasan Tahsin Monument, commemorating the journalist who fired the first shot at the enemy during the Turkish War of Independence. During our photo break, we experience İzmir’s historical and cultural texture up close.
After completing our program, we begin our return journey and say goodbye until we meet again on another tour.
