"Salda Lake, Pamukkale Holiday with Accommodation Tour"
If you would like to stop by Salda Lake, known as the Maldives of Türkiye, famous for its turquoise water and snow-white sands, you are in the right place!
While the first rays of the sun reflect on the clear waters of Salda Lake in the early morning, a wonderful breakfast awaits you, where you will enjoy this generosity of nature in every bite, while looking at the blue waters of the lake at our restaurant, located in the most beautiful spot by the lake with a magnificent lake view. After breakfast, we start our tour with the energy breakfast gives us, and now it is time to take a closer look at Salda Lake.
Salda Lake is known as Türkiye’s deepest freshwater lake, the new favorite of the tourism world; we begin our walk by taking photos during our free time here, where we will see its snow-white sands and healing waters.
After this pleasant time at Salda Lake, we immediately set off by bus towards Pamukkale. Here, we will visit the Ancient City of Hierapolis, the Temple of Apollo, the Door to Hell, the Hierapolis Theater, the Bath Building, the Columned Street, and the Pamukkale Travertines.
After our arrival in Pamukkale, our first stop will be Denizli’s famous textile workshops. Here we take a break where you can shop. Then we take a break for lunch and move on to the Ancient City of Hierapolis. While exploring the Temple of Apollo and the Door to Hell, known in ancient times as the gateway to hell, together with our guide, you can also enjoy a pleasant visit to the Hierapolis Theater, one of the best-preserved theaters in Anatolia to have survived to the present day. The Bath Building outside the city walls and the largest Necropolis in Anatolia are among the places we will also visit accompanied by our guide’s explanations.
After our walk on the Columned Street, we reach the Pamukkale Travertines, which can only be seen in Italy in the town of Travertino. You can enjoy walking on the travertines and have an unforgettable experience amid unique views. After the tour, we head to our hotel for dinner and accommodation.
It is certain that you will have unforgettable memories with our accommodation tour you will spend in Salda Lake and Pamukkale.

On our second day, we will enjoy a pleasant tour of Çeşme, Alaçatı, and Ilıca Beach. In Çeşme, our first stop, we will visit the historic Çeşme Castle. After the castle visit, we will walk through Çeşme's narrow streets and take photos of the beautiful houses. Then we will head to Alaçatı.
In Alaçatı, famous for its windmills, we will walk on the cobblestone streets and discover the Old Greek Houses. We will enjoy a magnificent atmosphere by walking through Alaçatı Market and the streets where Greek and Ottoman architecture blend together. After our Alaçatı tour, we will move on to Ilıca Beach and take about a 2-hour swimming break (depending on adverse weather conditions or crowd levels in the area, this duration may be shortened, or if the season has not yet started, swimming may not be possible).
After the swimming break at Ilıca Beach, we will head to Istanbul and say goodbye by dropping our guests off at the points where we picked them up, looking forward to seeing you again on the next ITC TOUR organization.
