Pamukkale itself was stunning. Although it was quite warm and somewhat crowded, it was still easy enough to walk around, and we managed to explore the entire site without any issues. Lunch was served buffet-style and included some vegetarian choices, which we appreciated as two of us follow a vegetarian diet. The early afternoon part of the tour was particularly enjoyable and gave us time to relax a bit.

Our visit to Pamukkale was enjoyable overall. The trip itself was pleasant, and our guide Nur was knowledgeable and supportive throughout. However, the itinerary included a couple of unnecessary stops, like the wine tasting and a gemstone shop, which felt like they took up about an hour unnecessarily. This time could have been better spent at Pamukkale, where we only had about three hours to explore. Additionally, the walk to the site was quite long. It was a lengthy day, starting early in the morning and ending quite late.

The trip was on a large coach that was well air-conditioned and reasonably comfortable. There were several rest stops on the way, and a simple breakfast was provided, which was adequate considering the price. It’s definitely a long day with an early start, so be prepared for that. The only downside was a stop on the return journey at a winery that felt overpriced, and the person conducting the tasting was somewhat rude, though the visit lasted only about 20 to 30 minutes. Overall, I would still recommend this trip to anyone interested in seeing Pamukkale.
