Volkan knew the best spots for photos, making sure we captured the beauty of each landmark.

“Long day out but totally worth it when seeing the turtles. 1.5 hour journey to man made mud baths. Not so much baths but high bowls that you grab mud from. Not thermal baths either, just cold mineral water. Food was quite nice considering it was served through a lean to adjacent to the mud baths. Trip down river was beautiful and calm. Our guide dimitri was full of information about the tombs (kept switching from Russian to English) if you get a chance to taste the fresh pomegranate juice it’s lovely. 100TL for a bottle. Journey is about 40 minutes before coming to turtle bay and we were lucky…”

Expect a small air-conditioned minibus, an English-speaking guide, lunch, free time, and stops at the theater, Necropolis, Basilica, museum, and Cleopatra Pool. Some departures include an onyx shop stop.

“It’s a long day, up to 12 hours, with only 3 hours spent at the Pamukkale/Hieropolis site. That being said, the hot springs area is very interesting to see. Note, you’re only paddling in water above the ankles, not swimming. The exhibits at Hieropolis are well done and the theatre is well-restored, so you could actually spend more time there than paddling in the water. The lunch is good and very plentiful. The guide was difficult to understand from the back half of the minibus since the mike wasn’t working. No one needs the stop at the onyx factory, which just adds to the length of the trip. If you…”
