Hierapolis & Pamukkale
Pamukkale; Pools of Heaven on Earth… Pamukkale has always been a very popular settlement where hot springs were believed to have healing powers so it is considered to be the earliest spa on earth where in history people traveled long distances in order to find a cure. The unique terraces were formed by running warm spring water at a temperature of 35 C, containing calcium bicarbonate. Today Pamukkale is declared as a worlds heritage site by UNESCO.

5.00The tour was excellent! Ishik was very knowledgeable. First we went to see Travertine, then we went to see the ancient roman ruins. Excellent lunch and took us even textile shop for shopping at the end of our tour!

5.00Ali, our guide, had very good knowledge of the history of Ephesus both from a secular and biblical perspective. It is amazing to see so vividly the things the Apostle Paul wrote about were real - involving real people and culture, real customs and beliefs. It supports the authenticity of the biblical accounts. I would highly recommend the tour. Ephesus is so amazingly well preserved. Nothing else like it.

5.00My partner and I had the most wonderful day! Our tour guide Gurkan was super knowledgeable, personable, welcoming and fun. Definitely the best tour guide we have ever had! Our driver Zafer was awesome as well, he was a great driver and really lovely. It was so awesome to meet them both (: We had limited time in Izmir and it was really awesome being able to see all these sights in one day. Plus the vehicle was very comfortable. Highly recommend!
