4 Days  Turkey Tour Package

Pamukkale, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, is celebrated for its iconic white calcite terraces, formed over centuries by the flow of hot spring waters from 17 natural sources. While swimming is prohibited in these terraces to preserve their delicate beauty, visitors can indulge in a unique experience at Cleopatra’s Pool. This inviting pool is filled with the same rejuvenating Pamukkale waters and features ancient columns from the nearby Hierapolis.

Adjacent to this healing pool, you’ll find the fascinating ruins of Hierapolis Antique City, originally founded by Seleucid Kings. This ancient city played host to both pagan and Jewish communities and later became a significant center for Christianity following the martyrdom of St. Philip. Hierapolis thrived in the fields of arts, philosophy, and trade, and its historical treasures include the Necropolis, Roman Baths, Domitian Gate, and, of course, the captivating Cleopatra’s Pool.

For those seeking a more subterranean adventure, Kaklik Cave offers an underground spectacle similar to Pamukkale’s cascading terraces. This stunning cave features mesmerizing formations that have been shaped by the forces of nature over countless years.

Salda Lake, often dubbed the “Turkish Maldives,” beckons with its pristine white sandy beaches, striking magnesium rock formations, and a rich, unspoiled natural environment. Whether you’re capturing the breathtaking scenery through your camera lens, unwinding on the shores, or exploring the otherworldly beauty reminiscent of Mars, Salda Lake promises a memorable experience.

Perched at an astonishing altitude of 9,000 feet in the Taurus Mountains, Sagalassos thrived as a prosperous ancient city due to its strategic location, fertile soil, and abundant clay deposits. The remarkably well-preserved ruins of this city offer a glimpse into its storied past, complete with remarkable fountains that stand as a testament to its former grandeur.

Ephesus, another jewel in Turkey’s historical crown, served as a prominent center for both trade and religion. It holds immense significance in Christianity, featuring prominently in the history of the Seven Churches and the revered Virgin Mary’s Church. Nearby, St. John’s Basilica adds another layer to the region’s rich Christian heritage.

For those seeking a spiritual experience, a visit to the Virgin Mary’s House atop a serene mountain offers a connection to history. It is believed to be the place where Mary lived with St. John following Jesus’ crucifixion until her assumption, making it a sacred site for many.

Finally, the Artemis Temple, once counted among the Seven Wonders of the Ancient World, was not only a grand religious center but also an early banking institution. It paid homage to the ancient tradition of the divine feminine and was a significant cultural landmark in its time.
