After a delicious Turkish breakfast at the hotel, we’ll begin our full-day guided tour of Pamukkale and Laodicea.

You’ll also visit the ancient city of Hierapolis, where you’ll see ruins of temples, Roman baths, and the Antique Pool (Cleopatra’s Pool) — a unique place to relax in thermal waters surrounded by submerged columns.

Following lunch, we’ll head to Laodicea, one of the Seven Churches of Revelation.
