Day 5
Day Trip to Pamukkale
After enjoying breakfast, travel towards Pamukkale (3 hours/ 222km) which is a small town located in the south west part of the country. The highlight here is a visit to the powder white calcite travertines or terraces which look like they are covered with a sheet of snow. The spring water here is rich in minerals and is said to be therapeutic, so do dip your feet in if you can. Pamuk means cotton in Turkish and this white wonderland has a landscape that is in fact cotton-candy like, devoid of drama. This geological wonder aside, the region also has the ruins of the Greek-Roman city Hierapolis which is a UNESCO World Heritage Site.

Regarding the hotels, what does OR SIMILAR refer to?
OR SIMILAR means that the hotel booked might be different from the hotel mentioned in the itinerary. 90% of the time we book the hotel that’s mentioned, but under few situations it might differ due to on-the-ground factors.
