After breakfast, we set off towards Salda Lake, known as Turkey's Maldives. On the way, we will see Yarışlı and Burdur Lakes panoramically, and we will reach Salda Lake, famous for its pristine beaches made of white sand, a recent hotspot for social media photos. During our extended free time, depending on weather conditions, you can swim in this exquisite lake. After our walk along the lake shore, we will continue on to Denizli via Serinhisar. Serinhisar is prominent as the leading city in turkey for roasted chickpea production. We will stop by a roasted chickpea shop in this charming district for you to make your roasted chickpea purchases. After our shopping in Serinhisar, we will reach Denizli. In Denizli, known for its textile products, we will visit a textile store to see and purchase quality products. After completing our shopping, we will move towards the white paradise of Pamukkale, known for its travertines and ancient cities. Our first stop in Pamukkale will be the restaurant where we will have our lunch. After our optional lunch break, we will begin our exploration of the travertines and the Hierapolis Ancient City to experience the white fairy tale. We will carefully listen to our guide's explanations and visit the Necropolis area, the Hamam building, the Domitian Gate on the main street, the Apollon Temple, and the Plutonium, known as the Gate of Hell, all the while taking photo breaks. Then we will reach the travertines, which enchant with their pure white texture. Two thousand years ago, the Kingdom of Pergamon could not resist this attraction and built the city of Hierapolis next to the travertines. During this period, Hierapolis served as a thermal health center and was visited for hundreds of years by individuals seeking health and beauty, from various parts of Anatolia, due to its believed healing springs. Even today, people looking for beauty and health continue to visit the thermal pools. You too can immerse yourself in the pools where the ancient people of the world swam thousands of years ago while enjoying the magnificent view of the travertines. After the information from our guide and the free time allotted to enter the travertine pools, we will leave the travertines and head to our hotel, which grants healing through its thermal pools. Accommodation and dinner will be at our hotel. The hotels where we will stay have thermal pools. For our valued guests, the thermal pools, hammam, and sauna are offered free of charge.

On the 3rd day of our tour to the Maldives of Turkey Salda Lake Pamukkale Cesme Alaçatı, after our open buffet breakfast at the hotel, we head to the beautiful district of Cesme in İzmir. When we arrive at the beach resort known for its blue flag beaches and winds, we are first greeted by Cesme Castle and the Streets of Cesme. Since this area is also the city center, we give our valuable guests a short photo and shopping break. During this time, we recommend you to visit the famous Cesme kumrucular and taste this delicacy. Additionally, guests can try products made from Cesme's famous mastic tree and buy souvenirs for their loved ones, showing them what a wonderful tour they have missed. After our short break in Cesme city center, it’s finally time to enjoy sun, sand, and sea. The first beach that comes to mind when you think of Cesme is Ilıca Beach. The reason is that the water here is warmer and clearer compared to other beaches in Cesme. The sand is so soft that just walking on it can create a therapeutic effect. We take a swimming break until the time determined by our guide to meet up again. During this break, you can enjoy fun moments with your loved ones and swim to your heart's content or sunbathe. (There are showers and changing cabins available at the beach). After our free time here, we continue our journey towards Alaçatı.

After our free time in Alaçatı, we head to the famous windmill to take photos, followed by free time at the Alaçatı Market, where we can buy the best local products and delightful souvenirs. Then we explore Alaçatı’s famous streets, where Greek architecture meets Ottoman architecture. After our free time in Alaçatı, we begin our return journey.
