Cleopatra Pools - Situated above the Pamukkale white travertine pools is a particularly spectacular location fed by the same hot springs. Here, you can bathe in the same waters Cleopatra once swam in! A professionally run modern spa facility allows you to enjoy these historical healing waters. Unlike the white water of the lower pools, the Antique Pool favored by Cleopatra, Queen of Egypt, is pure, clear, warm water. Once, it was surmounted by a Roman Temple to Apollo with an ornate roof supported by Doric columns. Imagine how Cleopatra must have experienced this in its glory days.

Pamukkale - You will stop at a local restaurant for lunch. Today’s lunch is included during the guided tour. After lunch, you will experience a traditional handicraft workshop to learn about the special stones/metals of Pamukkale.

Laodicea - Excavations here have revealed artifacts dating from 3500 BC (Late Chalcolithic) to 3000 BC (Early Bronze Age). The city’s name comes from the Seleucid king Antiochus II, who named it after his wife Laodike in the 3rd century BC when it was thriving. Later controlled by the kings of Pergamum, it was bequeathed to the Roman Empire and thrived again from the 4th to 6th centuries. Its importance then numbered it among the Seven Churches of Revelation.
