Pamukkale and Lake Salda with an Overnight Start in Alanya

The experience and route

Join the outing from the stated hotel stops in Alanya. The route on this page follows this departure area.

The day has two main visits. Time at the Salda Lake viewpoint is separate from the time allocated to Pamukkale and the ancient site.

You can visit Hierapolis and the terraces during the same stop. Divide the time between them according to your interests and walking pace.

Rest stops and meal breaks form part of the day. Shopping is a personal choice when the itinerary stops at local shops.

Find out the meeting time before starting a longer walk around the site. The return journey leaves from the point announced by the guide.

If your hotel is east of Alanya, check the date as well as the time before setting an alarm.

Mahmutlar is served around 01:45, Oba around 02:10 and central Alanya around 02:30.

Transfers and the visit

The stops at Konaklı and resorts farther west are spread out along the coastal route. Pack your bag and save your confirmation before going to bed.

After the long drive, make your first choice at Pamukkale based on what you want to see most.

The terraces and the farther parts of Hierapolis share the same free time.

The drive to Alanya begins after dinner. If your hotel is at the eastern end of the pickup area, leave enough time for the remaining hotel stops.

Swap the Mediterranean coastline for one of Türkiye's most remarkable landscapes on a Pamukkale day trip from Alanya.

This organized excursion combines the dazzling white travertines of Pamukkale, the ancient city of Hierapolis and a scenic visit to Lake Salda.

Hotel transfers, admission to Pamukkale and Hierapolis, guiding and breakfast, lunch and dinner are included in the tour programme.

Just above the travertines, Hierapolis reveals the history behind Pamukkale's reputation as a place of thermal bathing and wellbeing.
