Leaving Antalya early in the morning, you’ll arrive at Lake Salda after a few hours’ scenic drive. It’s been compared to the Maldives for its long white beaches and multi-toned blue waters. You’ll have free time to take some photos of this otherworldly spot. We’ll head to Pamukkale for lunch. Afterwards, catch a peek of the bright white calcite terraces

At the top of these travertines is Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site. Walk through the Byzantine Gate and marvel at the ruins as you stroll towards the vast bowl-shaped theatre. It’s epic. Then relax with a dip in the warm water of Cleopatra’s Ancient Pool, where you swim among ancient columns. Dinner in a forest restaurant on the way back is included. What’s more, for every sale of this experience, there’s a donation to CYDD, a charity that helps in the education of underprivileged children in Turkey.
