Pools of Heaven on Earth… Pamukkale has always been a very popular settlement where hot springs were believed to have healing powers so it is considered to be the earliest spa on earth where, in history, people traveled long distances in order to find a cure. The unique terraces were formed by running warm spring water at a temperature of 35 C, containing calcium bicarbonate. Today Pamukkale is declared as a worlds heritage site by UNESCO

Day trip
Thank you for a wonderful tour. Our driver was a very careful driver and our guide was very knowledgeable and we had good discussions of the history of turkey.
Super day trip from Izmir
Really well planned and efficient. Small private tour with solid communication before and during the tour. We got picked up early in the am and drove in a lovely van to the tourist sites. We went to the guide’s lunch spot and had a really friendly meal with our guide and our driver. Yum. Both spoke English really well. Long day of driving from Izmir but we were as comfortable as possible. Turkey has many important and interesting sites and we really enjoyed this one! I’m glad we had our talented driver and knowledgeable guide.
Mehmet is the best guide!

Incredible Day
It was a great pleasure to know Pamukkalle. We had a amazing guided tour by Riza and Burak who pick up us in the Hotel in Izmir and took us to Pamukkale. We had an opportunity to swimming in Cleopatra’s pool and visit the pool terraces. Beautiful place! I do recommend Riza and Burak as guide to visit this incredible place
