Pamukkale-Hierapolis (Cotton Castle) (1 dag)

Had a fabulous day, today early start but well worth it, great food, vèry attentive staff. Brilliant

We did 3 things through Seaside. Tickets for entry into Orca Aqua Park, Sunset Cruise and Pammukale Day Trip. This was one of the less ‘pushy’ trip places, prices were average and choice was good. The chap at desk was helpful, and we got a slightly better deal as a bundle. However, I did not like that they were selling in £ (as were everyone else) they took advantage of a good exchange rate, which I had hoped would work for us. The trips themselves were; Sunset - excellent, very relaxed, no loud music, and time to swim and enjoy. pammukale - good, long journey in air conditioned coach, was as good as you can expect. Breakfast stop was less than average. The tour made an unmentioned trip to Onyx Outlet. Rather not of done this, wasted valuable time. Pammukale was a fantastic location, although it was on the dryer side as it was August. The Roman ruins and especially the Amphitheater was the a real highlight. Definitely worth the visit. Lunch/dinner stop (now 4pm) was poor,felt like herded cattle. Our guide was fantastic all day, knowledgeable although he needs to slow down his English.

We took two tours with this company- Pammukale and the Sunset cruise. Both were excellent. The sales guy (Matt/Mert?) was helpful friendly and not pushy like others in the area. Pammukale was an early start but we were picked up from our hotel and had a comfortable modern bus with excellent English speaking guide, Yelcin. He’s informative, funny and full of energy- and he loves a raffle! Breakfast and lunch was included- but lunch wasn’t until 4pm for if you need to eat frequently I recommend taking a snack or buying one. There was a stop an an Onyx factory but no pressure to buy anything and the loo stop was welcome here. We had three hours at Pammukale and Heiropolis which was not quite enough to dip in the pools and see everything. The sunset cruise was exceptionally good value and just lovely- dinner was included and was decent- chicken, bread, salad, potatoes and pasta. And the campfire stop magical where we stargazed. Very happy with Seaside’s offering and service.
