Your private guide and driver pick you up directly from your hotel lobby or the Marmaris Cruise Port terminal in an air-conditioned vehicle. Enjoy a comfortable start as you depart Marmaris and begin the scenic drive toward Pamukkale through the Taurus Mountains.

Stop at a local restaurant en route in Mugla/Kale for a traditional Turkish breakfast and coffee break.

Arrive at the famous "Cotton Castle" of Pamukkale. Marvel at the brilliant white calcium terraces formed by mineral-rich thermal waters. Take off your shoes and walk barefoot along the travertine pools while taking in panoramic views of the valley.

Explore the Greco-Roman ruins of Ancient Hierapolis with your private expert guide. Highlights include the remarkably preserved Ancient Theater, the Necropolis (ancient cemetery), the Domitian Gate, and the Temple of Apollo.

Visit the historic thermal bath where ancient marble columns rest submerged underwater. Enjoy free time to stroll the gardens or choose to swim in the warm, mineral-rich healing waters (swimming fee is optional and payable on-site).

Relax and enjoy a delicious open-buffet lunch featuring traditional Turkish dishes at a nearby restaurant in Pamukkale before starting the journey back.

Sit back and relax on the scenic transfer back to Marmaris. Your driver will drop you off safely back at your hotel or directly at the cruise ship terminal.
