Pamukkale and Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour From Antalya

The Pamukkale and Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon Tour from Antalya lets you see one of Turkey's most famous natural wonders from the ground and from the sky. In one long day you explore the snow-white travertine terraces, the ancient city of Hierapolis and the warm waters of Cleopatra's Pool. The highlight is sunrise, when colourful balloons drift over Pamukkale: you can either fly in one yourself or watch the spectacle from the balloon panorama viewpoint. Because the tour departs at night, you arrive with the first light and make the most of the day.
