Hot Springs Getaway in Pamukkale
Unwind in the therapeutic thermal waters of Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Besides enjoying the hot springs, take some time to explore the ancient ruins of Hierapolis and indulge in a rich cultural experience.
- The date begins with a drive through the stunning landscapes of Denizli, towards the world-renowned Pamukkale hot springs. You soak in the thermal waters and kick back, experiencing the healing properties the springs are known for. After this relaxing bath, you take a stroll hand in hand admiring the cascading 'cotton castle', the beautiful terraces of minerals left behind by the flowing water.
- Later, you take a break for a light lunch at a local restaurant where you can taste the fine Turkish cuisine (cost not included in the budget). After lunch, you explore the ancient city of Hierapolis which lies in ruins nearby. As you wander through the ancient city, you can imagine the grandeur that once was.
- As the sunset paints the sky with hues of orange and pink, you could end the day staring at the horizon, mesmerized by the panoramic views of the landscape. You then head back to Denizli, bringing a perfect close to the day.
