13.Great Pamukkale Tour from Antalya

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 106 reviews · 12 hours (approx.) · from $90

Leave Antalya early for Pamukkale’s white travertines, Hierapolis, its vast necropolis, and the mineral waters of Cleopatra Pool. The small group is capped at 16, with hotel pickup, lunch, a professional guide, and Pamukkale and Hierapolis entry included. Guide Dilek has been praised for her cheerful approach.

“Our guide Dilek was very cheerful and made the tour a lot of fun. The site itself, Pamukkale, was also very attractive and the lunch was well worth it. However, the communication regarding the pick-up time for the tour was very late and we were concerned that the tour would actually go ahead. It was after 21:00 the day before when we were finally informed of the time. I think this should be improved.”
