I recently joined a day trip to the stunning Pamukkale and the fascinating ancient city of Hierapolis with this travel company based in Fethiye, and it was definitely worth it. Having both breakfast and lunch included made the 3 hour journeys each way much easier to manage. Seeing the unique white terraces of Pamukkale and wandering through the ruins of Hierapolis were definite highlights. Our guide was very informative. Despite the long travel time, this well planned tour is something everyone should consider.
