Itinerary

With our Pamukkale Tour from Istanbul by Plane, you can leave the bustle of the city behind in the morning and, just a short flight later, find yourself in front of one of Turkey’s most stunning natural wonders. Known as the “Cotton Castle”, Pamukkale’s dazzling white terraces, shaped by mineral-rich thermal waters, have amazed visitors since ancient times. Right above the pools sits Hierapolis Ancient City, where you can wander through its Roman theater, vast necropolis, the Temple of Apollo, and the famous Cleopatra’s Pool, where fallen columns still rest beneath the warm water. This tour also takes you to the striking Red Water springs, a colorful hidden gem that adds yet another highlight to the day. Pamukkale is recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It combines natural beauty, history, and relaxation in one unforgettable experience—all made easy and comfortable with direct flights and transfers from Istanbul.
