Pamukkale is spectacular seen from the ground – but even better with bird's eye views. See one of Turkey's top natural treasures from above with this hot air balloon experience. You'll need to rise and shine well before sunrise, but it's all worth it as you soar over the cotton-white calcium terraces, making memories that'll last long after you leave. After your hot air balloon ride, you'll then get an even closer look during a visit to Hierapolis on foot, where you'll have some free time to wander around its UNESCO-listed landmarks. You won't want to miss the amphitheatre or the necropolis – in its heyday, the former could seat up to 15,000 people.

We were picked up on time on a comfortable coach. We were given a couple opportunities to have road breaks on the long journey. The ballon ride was amazing. We had a beautiful ride to see the sunrise which spanned the area of the ancient city of Hierapolis. Then we were taken on a tour around Hierapolis by our guide Dennis, who was extremely knowledgeable about everything. The only downside was that the breakfast was lacking. It was a lovely day and definetely worth the early start.

An dem Ausflug hat uns eigentlich alles gefallen, es war ein toller Tag, man hatte immer das Gefühl Gast zu sein. Gerne hätte ich noch gewusst warum man einen Reisepass für den Ausflug braucht, wurde nirgendwo verlangt. Nachteil war das der 10% Gutschein für den Ausflug nicht aktiviert werden konnte und ich die Auskunft von ihnen bekam das dies für Türkei Urlaube nicht gilt, andere haben es bekommen. Mfg Ralf

We had the best time ever.would definitely recommend it to anyone.the journey was not so good as the transport was so bumpy.

The ballon ride was an amazing experience and we’re glad we did it. The time spent in my Pamukkale was also really nice, we would have preferred a little longer there. It was a long day - the bus journey was 4 hours there and back which was a little longer than we were told - that said we are glad we did it. The good wasnt very good at either breakfast or lunch. Most of our group felt the same about the food

The balloon experience was absolutely incredible & would 100% recommend. The only thing we didn’t like was the breakfast & lunch as it wasn’t the best, really we thought the breakfast could’ve been skipped to reduce the overall duration of the trip. The coach journey from Antalya is long but comfortable & worth it for the experience. The day spent at Pamukkale was lovely, so beautiful and lots to see, we did feel we didn’t need as long here. Overall would recommend this trip.

Nous avions rdv à 0010 devant l hôtel , le bus est venu à 1h40 ! C est long comme attente la nuit devant l hôtel sans information , nous aurions pu dormir un peu plus ! Sinon tout était très bien ,
