TOUR HIGHLIGHTS

Antalya: Known as centre of the Turkish Riviera, a vibrant modern city with beautiful city beaches, surrounded by the Taurus Mountains with a historic, picturesque old town around the old harbour. There are many impressive historical legacies of past civilisations in the surrounding area such as Perge, Aspendos, Phaselis and Thermessos.

Pamukkale: known as the "Cotton Castle," is a breathtaking natural wonder in Turkey, famous for its cascading white terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters. This UNESCO World Heritage site is also home to the ancient city of Hierapolis, where visitors can explore ruins and bathe in the thermal waters of Cleopatra’s Pool.

Kas: is a charming coastal town, known for its relaxed atmosphere, crystal-clear turquoise waters, and vibrant marine life, making it a popular spot for diving and snorkeling. With its narrow cobblestone streets, traditional houses, and stunning views of the Mediterranean, Kas offers a perfect blend of natural beauty and local culture.

Upon arrival at Antalya airport pick up your car and drive to the hotel. Enjoy the rest of the day at leisure exploring the city.

Overnight in Antalya.

Day 2: ANTALYA – PAMUKKALE (265km – 4hrs)

Begin your day with a tasty breakfast at your hotel. Check out and drive toward Salda Lake. But first on the way, shortly after leaving Antalya you can visit the ancient city of Thermessos. Then continue to Salda Natural Protected Lake often referred to as "Turkey's Maldives," surrounded by pine forests and hills, offering a serene escape and stunning views in a unique, untouched environment. Finally, drive to the hotel in Pamukkale, where you can relax in the thermal pools.

Overnight in Pamukkale.

Day 3: PAMUKKALE

After breakfast, visit the UNESCO World Heritage Site of Pamukkale, famous for its stunning white travertine terraces. Adjacent to these natural wonders lies the ancient city of Hierapolis, also a UNESCO Cultural World Heritage site. Take a dip in the ancient Cleopatra Pool, filled with healing thermal waters. Visit the city of Denizli, near Pamukkale, which is known for its excellent wines and nearby are two other remarkable ancient cities, Aphrodisias and Laodicea, both of which are worth a visit.

Overnight in Pamukkale.

Day 4: PAMUKKALE – KAS (280km – 4hrs)

After breakfast at the hotel, drive to Kas, stopping along the way to visit the ancient city of Tlos, the stunning Saklikent Gorge, and the historic sites of Letoon and Patara. Patara is also famous for its long sandy beach, a protected natural area where Caretta Caretta turtles nest. Arrive at Kas, a relaxed and charming small town that is becoming increasingly popular while retaining its unique character. Across the water lies the Greek island of Meis, accessible by ferry, and the peninsula in front of Kas offers several small beaches worth exploring.

Day 5: KAS – ANTALYA (190km – 3hrs)

Before departing for Antalya, we highly recommend visiting Kekova by boat to explore the sunken city and its surrounding bays. Along the coastal road, you can stop in Demre to see the St. Nicholas Church and visit the ancient city of Myra nearby. Take a break in Finike, a small coastal town known for its fresh fish restaurants and orange farms. On the way to Antalya, make stops in Olympos for a tour of the ancient city and a swim at the beach, or enjoy a swim in Cirali, Adrasan, Phaselis, or Kemer. In the evening, explore Antalya's charming Old Town, Kaleici, a beautifully restored pedestrian area filled with restaurants, bars, and shops.

Overnight in Antalya.

Day 6: DEPARTURE ANTALYA (20km – 30min)

Enjoy one last breakfast before checking out and driving back to the Antalya Airport to return your car. But if your flight time allows visit Perge, an ancient city near Antalya and the Kursunlu Waterfalls or have a day at the beach in Lara or Konyaalti before your departure.

Comfortable and light clothing is the most suitable for travelling in Turkey, though a warm jumper and jacket are advisable in the cooler months. Visitors should not wear sleeveless shirts, shorts, short skirts or skimpy clothing when visiting religious or official buildings. Sun protection, sunglasses, a hat and mosquito repellent can be very useful during your stay.
