Overview

Begin Your Day with a Sunrise Adventure: Your journey starts with an early pick-up from your hotel in Antalya, setting the stage for an extraordinary day. The scenic drive to Pamukkale is as captivating as the destination itself, with lush landscapes and charming villages along the way. Upon arrival, you'll prepare for the highlight of the tour – a hot air balloon flight at sunrise.

Soar Above Pamukkale's Natural Wonder: As the balloon ascends, the first rays of sunlight bathe Pamukkale's famous travertine terraces in golden hues. Known as the "Cotton Castle," these white calcite formations create an otherworldly view, while nearby ancient ruins like Hierapolis add a touch of historical wonder. The peaceful drift of the balloon offers unmatched panoramic vistas and a moment of serene beauty.

Explore Pamukkale and Hierapolis: After your flight, take time to explore Pamukkale's thermal pools and the ancient city of Hierapolis. Walk through the ruins, including the well-preserved amphitheater and Necropolis, and soak your feet in the healing thermal waters. This unique combination of natural beauty and ancient history makes the visit truly special.

Indulge in Local Flavors: We'll take a break before arriving at Pamukkale for the balloon tour. For lunch, enjoy a delicious meal at a local restaurant in Denizli, offering a taste of authentic Turkish cuisine.

Convenient Return Journey: The tour wraps up with a comfortable transfer back to your hotel in Antalya. Relax and reflect on your extraordinary experience as you drive through picturesque landscapes, taking with you memories to last a lifetime.
