Calendar & Price
Pamukkale is a natural masterpiece sculpted over centuries by the elements. At first glance, it resembles a snow-dusted mountain slope dotted with shimmering blue pools—a fairytale scene that captivates every visitor. But there’s science behind the magic: these are thermal springs rich with healing minerals, while the "snow" is actually layers of calcium carbonate formed by evaporating water. This unique blend of nature’s power and beauty makes Pamukkale a truly extraordinary destination.

5We chose a trip to Pamukkale because we’d been longing to see this place for the longest time! We were picked up right on time, the journey was really comfortable, and our guide was so knowledgeable and told us all about the ancient city and the travertines. We strolled around the snow-white bowls, swam in Cleopatra’s pool, and even had time to look at the ruins of Hierapolis. It was such a great tour – I’d highly recommend it!
