In a single day, you will explore the dazzling turquoise waters of Salda Lake, famously called the Turkish Maldives, and the stunning snow-white travertine terraces of Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Why Choose the Kızılot Salda Pamukkale Tour?

At Salda Lake, you can relax by crystal-clear waters and walk on soft white sands enriched with healing minerals.
In Pamukkale, stroll barefoot on the iconic travertine terraces while admiring panoramic views.
Step back in time at Hierapolis Ancient City, where Roman-era history comes alive.
Swim in the legendary Cleopatra’s Pool, whose mineral-rich waters once refreshed the Egyptian queen herself.

Perfect for families looking for an adventure! Loved the Turkish Maldives vibe at Salda Lake, and my towel got covered in that cute chalky dust at Pamukkale, haha! Would do again.

Great experience for the whole family! Our little ones safely walked along the water at Pamukkale while we soaked in the views. Such a beautiful day in nature and learning history.

So glad we took our kids on the Kızılot Salda Pamukkale Tour. The swimming at Cleopatra's Pool was such a unique experience and fun for everyone. A little early start, but totally worth it.

Brilliant tour for families! Plenty to see and do. My wife and I enjoyed the history at Hierapolis while our teenagers took loads of pics at the gorgeous lake. Very well organized!

What a fantastic day out! My kids absolutely loved Salda Lake—felt like we were really in a tropical paradise. Pamukkale was stunning too! So cool to walk on the travertine terraces. Definitely a hit with the whole family.

So glad we opted for this! Both Salda Lake and Pamukkale were surreal. Perfect spots for the 'gram and also for just chilling with family. Great for kids, although expect them to be extra tired and happy at the end. :)

Such an exciting day trip for the whole family! Kids ran free at Salda Lake's amazing shores. The historical bit at Hierapolis kept us all curious. Remember to pack some extra snacks though, because my kiddos were super hungry!

Had an amazing time at Pamukkale and Salda. The little ones were in awe of the white terraces, and even my teenager was impressed (miracle, right?). Definitely recommending to other fellow moms out there!

What a day trip! Truly mesmerizing places. The kids loved Salda Lake, they kept calling it a 'giant swimming pool.' Perfect trip for families who love both nature and history. Definitely a 5-star experience!
