Lake Salda & Pamukkale tour from Alanya is a day trip to see two of Turkey's gems – in one day.
This tour is called the "White Tour". It earns its name from the warm water-filled white travertine terraces of Pamukkale and the stunningly white sands and crystal-clear azure waters of Lake Salda. White will never be whiter after this day.
You may have seen pictures of these beautiful sites on the internet. What about visiting there? Then let's go!
During the day, you will also visit the historical sites of Hierapolis ancient city, such as temples, the grand theatre, museums and ancient artifacts.
