Pamukkale Tour and Salda Lake Tour from Antalya

The Pamukkale Tour and Salda Lake Tour from Antalya combines two of Turkey’s natural wonders in a single day: Lake Salda with its white shores and the snow-white travertine terraces of Pamukkale. After an early pick-up from your hotel in Antalya you visit Lake Salda first, then continue to Pamukkale to explore the ancient city of Hierapolis and its theatre. The tour runs Monday, Wednesday and Saturday.

On this page you will find the full flow of the day, what is included, what you should pack and answers to the most common questions. That way you know exactly what to expect before you book and can plan the rest of your holiday with confidence.

Throughout the day your experienced guide shares stories about the history, nature and local life of the places you visit, answers your questions and times the breaks to suit the pace of the group.
