Pamukkale in a small group
I had the chance to visit Pamukkale in a small group, which is much nicer with Ercan Bey, who was able to explain everything from start to finish with impeccable follow-up that I loved; thank you to him. I recommend going in a small group like this one, which is more friendly ☺️
