- Salda Lake – Laodicea Ancient City – Hierapolis Ancient City – Pamukkale Travertines - Denizli
- After our night journey, we will stop at a resting facility to have an extra breakfast before reaching our first destination, Salda Lake, which is Turkey's 3rd deepest lake. Known as the "Maldives of Turkey" and said to "go to Salda for those who are curious about Mars," Salda Lake, which has similar rock features to Mars, will enchant us. With its white sands and turquoise waters, we will have free time until the time determined by our guide to take unique photos and fully enjoy the atmosphere. During this free time, guests can take photos to immortalize this beautiful atmosphere or swim in Salda Lake. After our free time is over, we will get on our bus and head towards Pamukkale. Our first visit in Pamukkale will be the Laodicea Ancient City. Founded in the middle of the 3rd century BC by Seleucid King II. Antiochus in honor of his wife Laodice, we will explore the areas permitted for visiting as excavation work continues. After our tour, we will move to the restaurant where we will have our lunch. After our lunch, we will proceed to Hierapolis Ancient City, which is on the UNESCO World Cultural and Natural Heritage List. The Hierapolis Ancient City was built about 2000 years ago by the Kingdom of Pergamon, which could not resist the beauty and attraction of Pamukkale Travertines, right next to them. We will start our visit to Hierapolis Ancient City with the largest Necropolis in Anatolia and the Bath House outside the city walls. Then we will take photos as we explore the city's main street, Domitian Gate, and Latin Building. After that, we will head to the Hierapolis Ancient Theatre, one of the best-preserved theatres in Anatolia, where our guide will provide us with information about the Ancient Theatre. The Hierapolis Ancient Theatre will also enchant us with its magnificent view of the Ancient City and Denizli. After taking photos, we will learn about and visit the Temple of Apollo and the Plutonium, known as the Gate of Hell. Then, after a walk on the Colonnaded Street, we will reach the Pamukkale Travertines, which only have a similar structure in a town called Travertino in Italy, with its white texture that amazed the Pergamon Kingdom 2000 years ago, and will also amaze us. While walking on the terrace where walking is allowed, the views we capture of the Denizli Plain will be unforgettable memories for us. After completing our time here, we will have a short shopping break at Denizli's famous textile workshops. After our shopping break, we will head towards our hotel to conclude our tour.

- Çeşme – Çeşme Castle – Caravanserai - Alaçatı – Ilıca – Swimming Break – Istanbul
- On the last day of our tour of Salda Lake Pamukkale Cesme Alacati, after having breakfast at our hotel, we board our bus and head towards Izmir Cesme. Our first stop in Cesme will be Cesme Castle, one of the most important castles in Western Anatolia, where we can see a combination of Genoese and Ottoman architectural styles. After receiving information about Cesme Castle from our guide, we begin to explore the castle. After completing our castle visit, we will see the Caravanserai, built by Kanuni Sultan Süleyman in 1528, panoramically. Then we will have free time in Cesme. During this free time, we recommend you taste the ice cream unique to Cesme. After our free time, we will board our bus and move to our next stop, Alaçatı. Alaçatı, with its colorful streets built on narrow Arnavut cobblestones, blending Greek and Ottoman architecture, will enchant us. After receiving brief information about Alaçatı from our guide, we will have our lunch break where we will taste the famous kumru before starting to explore the streets. After our lunch, we will have free time until the time determined by our guide. During this free time, you can take colorful photos in front of the Historical Stone Houses in Alaçatı, making this tour unforgettable. After our free time ends, we will head to Ilıca Beach to relax. Ilıca Beach, one of the important Blue Flag beaches of our country, is one of the rare places in the world with its crystal clear sea and hot water sources. We will have about 1-1.5 hours of swimming break here. Guests who do not want to swim can take a walk along the beach or enjoy coffee in cafes with a magnificent view of the sea. After our time at Ilıca Beach is over, we conclude our Salda Lake Pamukkale Cesme Alaçatı Tour and start our return journey.
