  • You can stand at the top of Pamukkale and soak in panoramic views of the valley below
  • There's a chance to bathe in the mineral-rich thermal pools of Pam Hotel

What to expect

Pamukkale means 'cotton castle' in Turkish – and you'll soon see why as you set eyes upon this magical landscape. You'll also visit the adjacent ancient city of Hierapolis. Both are UNESCO-listed, so it's a two-in-one deal of Turkish historical gems.

A sight to behold, Pamukkale is a series of mountainside terraces where natural springs have solidified into snowy-white stalactites and cliffs. The effect is a winter-like wonderland of petrified tiers and pools. People have bathed here for thousands of years, including Roman emperors. Follow in their footsteps and bathe in one of the thermal pools or simply stand at the top of Pamukkale and drink in the magnificent views.

Then it's onto to the ruins of ancient Hierapolis – a necropolis, temples, baths and much more. The theatre is a showstopper. You'll also have free time to check out the archaeological museum. It may be a long ride to get there, but it's definitely worth it.

    Guide was full of information and helpful for answering questions and telling us about local culture. Good food stops. Guide worked to what people attending tour wanted for example people in our group wanted more time at stops. Our tui rep in the hotel gave us great information prior to visit and gave us a great tip to walk further to the right from where the pools were to see more.

    Due to poor planning we spent our time walking the ruins on a hot afternoon amidst crowds of tourist. We were hurried along to keep a precious time table . At least this time the transport was large enough to accommodate us all. Guides were helpful and knowledgeable.

    We booked with our rep in the hotel. When they picked us up we got told off for wearing flip flops and we were told that there is no mud bath on the tour as it is under reconstruction. We also had to pay extra €60 for our party of 4 for a buggy which was taking us around as I can't walk properly for long after foot injury (which we stressed out to our rep prior this trip. He didn't inform me that I have to walk /climb 4.5 km long hill). The other guide was rushing us constantly.

    Pamukkale sa piekne ale to jak zorganizowana jest wycieczka przez tui to porazka. 3.5 godziny jazdy bo kierowca robi sobie przerwy w zaprzyjaznionych supermarketach na miejscu biegiem prawie do amfiteatru zeby zobaczyc grobowce z tui nie ma na to szans. Na samym pamukkale jest niecala godzina podczas której nie jest w stanie obejsc sie calych tarasów wykapac w nich a co dopiero jeszcze wejsc do muzeum. Okropnie zorganizowana wycieczka w porównaniu do innych biur podrózy.

    Wibitny przewodnik - Ewelina. Widac, ze zyje Turcja, a nie wykonuje tylko swoja prace, ciekawy cel wycieczki, nowoczesny autobus, pyszny lunch. Nie mam sie do czego przyczepic, nawet na sile. Nie zaluje zakupu wycieczki juz tu na miejscu - a kupilem ja, bo poprzednia (rejs po rzecze Dalyan) z tym samym przewodnikiem, tez byla wybitna.

Tour of Oludeniz Beach, Babadag cable car and ghost town Kayakoy

Tour of Oludeniz Beach, Babadag cable car and ghost town Kayakoy

The area around Fethiye is packed with intriguing sites and areas of outstanding natural beauty. On this full day tour, you'll visit the eerie ghost town of Kayakoy, ride the Babadag cable car and have time to relax and swim at Oludeniz's famous Blue Lagoon. Elif, one of our expert local guides, says, ‘From the top of Mount Babadag, you can see a beautiful stretch of the Turquoise Coast, including the curving beach and lagoon at Oludeniz, which you've just visited. Watch the paragliders gliding down to land near the beach.'You'll start the morning heading straight to Oludeniz. It's a small resort best known for the two-kilometre-long curl of beach that shelters the Blue Lagoon. Basking on the warm sand, your toughest decision is whether to paddle in the bay or the calmer, shallower lagoon. Next, you'll ride the Babadag cable car for stunning views from the mountaintop. You'll have time to get something to eat at the top, after which you'll head back down to Kayakoy, one of the best-preserved ghost villages in Turkey.Wander silent streets that bristled with life before the population abandoned them over a century ago. Peek into the tiers of roofless houses, see the little school, and visit the basilica – still decorated with old frescos. Elif says, ‘There are close to 1,000 deserted stone houses in Kayakoy, as well as churches and chapels, even a bakery. The Greek villagers who lived here – and called it Leivissi – were forced to flee after WWI, and no one replaced them.'
