Morning Pick-up: We’ll pick you up from your hotel in Pamukkale or Karahayit. It’s a bit of a drive to reach the lake, so we make sure our minivans are stocked with cold water and are extra comfortable for the journey.
Salda Lake (The Turkish Maldives): Our first stop is Salda. You’ll have time to walk on the white sands and take photos of the different shades of blue. It’s a very peaceful spot and a great way to start the morning.
Lavender Village (Kuyucak): Next, we head to the heart of Turkey’s lavender production. You can walk through the purple fields, take photos with the village decorations, and try unique local treats like lavender ice cream or tea. (Note: The fields are in full bloom from July to mid-August).
Sagalassos Ancient City: We’ll drive up into the Taurus Mountains to reach Sagalassos. Because of its high altitude, the air is fresh, and the views are panoramic. You’ll explore the ancient theater and the incredible Antonine Fountain, which is still functional after thousands of years.
Return or Forward Transfer: After the tour, we’ll drive you back to your hotel in Pamukkale. However, since this tour heads east, many guests choose to continue on to Antalya or Cappadocia from here. If you need a forward transfer, just let us know at Puerto Travel so we can organize your luggage and logistics.
