TOUR PROGRAM;

After picking up our guests from the designated points, we reach Pamukkale via the Balıkesir – Akhisar road. After a breakfast break, Pamukkale, whose only other similar example in the world can be seen in the town called Travertino in Italy, welcomes us with its snow-white appearance. We begin our tour with the Hierapolis Ancient City, known as the holy city. After seeing the Temple of Apollo, Gymnasium, Chinese Hollows, Colonnaded Road, Ancient Theater, and Necropolis within the ancient city, we give free time at the Travertines and Cleopatra Pool. After the free time, we leave Pamukkale and head to visit the Lavender Fields, which spread beautiful scents around, fascinate with their appearance, and where you will take the most colorful photos of your life. After experiencing together the priceless atmosphere of walking while feeling the lavender scents and also taking wonderful photo shots, we give a shopping break so that you can buy local products and examine them. You may have the chance to buy Lavender Honey produced by the villagers themselves, Lavender Extract Creams, Soaps, Lotions, and many lavender-flavored products that will carry wonderful scents with you when you return home. After completing our shopping break, we head to Salda Lake, which has earned the title of "Turkey's Maldives," and we give free time for a walk along the lakeshore. Salda Lake is Turkey's deepest freshwater lake in terms of depth. The measurable depth of Salda Lake is 185 meters, and it is located within the borders of Yeşilova district of Burdur. Swimming is possible on the lake beach, about 5 kilometers from the district center. The elevation of Salda Lake above sea level is 1193 meters. Large carp live in the lake, which has a round structure. Salda Lake and its surroundings have been protected as a first-degree natural site since 1989. At the end of our tour, we return to Bursa in the evening.

ABOUT PAMUKKALE;

The ancient city of Hierapolis was built on the white "castle," 2700 meters long, 600 meters wide, and 160 meters high in total. Pamukkale can be seen from the hills on the opposite side of the valley in the center of Denizli, 20 km away. The ancient city of Laodicea is located 5–10 km nearby. 5 km further on is the village of Karahayıt, an international thermal center. Pamukkale is on the UNESCO World Heritage List. In addition to its visual richness, the travertines are beneficial for heart diseases, rheumatism, digestive, respiratory, circulatory, and skin ailments. Pamukkale is a natural site in the province of Denizli in southwestern Turkey. It includes terraces of carbonate minerals left by the city hot springs and flowing waters, travertines. It is located in the Menderes River valley in Turkey's Aegean region, with a mild climate. It is among the preferred places for tourists.

SALDA LAKE;

Salda Lake is a slightly saline karstic lake in Yeşilova district of Burdur, 4 km away from the district center, surrounded by forest-covered hills, rocky terrain, and small alluvial plains. It has a closed-basin structure with no outflow within the Lakes Region. Its surface area is approximately 44 square kilometers. With a depth reaching 184 meters, it is the 3rd deepest lake in Turkey. The hydromagnesite mineral formed in the lake is one of the finest and most up-to-date examples of "biological mineralization."
