What you'll see and do
Karahayit
When our tour starts we will drive to Karahayıt. Our first stop is in Karahayit Red Water Hot Springs. Karahayit hot springs are located in Karahayit Town, Denizli, Turkey. It’s about 5 km north of the famous Pamukkale Travertine and has similar characteristics to that of Pamukkale. Due to the minerals existing in its structure, the hot spring water spreads reddish color to the environment

Pamukkale Thermal Pools
After a short visit to this natural beauty, we will head to the north gate of Hierapolis and start to explore this mighty antique city. We will see the Necropolis, Bath and Basilica, Frontinius Gate, Frontinius Street, Latrina, Northern Byzantine Gate, Fountain of the Tritons, and the Temple of Apollon. Afterward, we will stop at Cleopatra’s Pool. The guide will give you free time to swim then we will walk to the white cliffs of Pamukkale. You will have another hour to discover the white cliffs and enjoy the hot waters on the cliffs. At the end of the tour, we will have lunch in a local restaurant.

Kaklik Cave
After lunch, we drive the direction of Kaklik. Kaklık cave was formed by a subterranean stream that slowly eroded the porous limestone and sulfurous rocks. It began to form over 2 million years ago, and it wasn’t until the roof of the cave collapsed, that people discovered it, after which it was opened to the public in 2002. Water pours in from above, at the cave mouth and covers the surface, creating travertine steps with the calcium carbonate deposit left behind. At the same time, the geothermal spring below the cave pushes water into it from the surface. The movement of the water is clearly visible in the clear blue waters below the sinkhole but also happens elsewhere inside the cave. After the tour, we can drive you back to Pamukkale or Cardak airport.

Disappointing private tour
I booked this tour because it indicated that it was a private tour (assumption: we would have input into where & when we stopped within reason) and it included a drop off at the airport. Our guide, Khan, picked us up on time at our hotel. The first stop was, as indicated in the "what to expect" information for the tour, the Karahayit Red Water Hot springs. Interesting but not much to linger over. Meanwhile, Khan seemed to take it as a tea break with his tour guide friends. Second stop was not in the plan: Khan mentioned a stop to see the "rocks of Pamukkale." This was an excuse for a visit to an onyx factory where we were deposited with a guy who explained how onyx was turned into various things for tourists to buy. He then attempted to lead us back to the room where we could purchase these treasures. We said, "no thanks" and exited back outside, where we interrupted Khan having another tea break with his buddies. Not at all happy with this and we let Khan know that we were not to be taken to any more factory tours or shopping stops. Khan was pleasant enough and certainly accommodating. But after a week with some phenomenal tour guides, we felt he provided only a minimum of historical information at the Hierapolis site. No anecdotes or stories to enliven the sites we were seeing. We spent time at the terraces where he said he would watch our things so we could walk on the travertines. I'm glad my husband stayed behind because Khan was off having yet another coffee/tea break with his fellow tour guides. We spent about 1 1/2 hours swimming in the Cleopatra pool, which is wonderful and highly recommend-you can wear swim shoes!) and this gave Khan another break. Our perception was and still is that Khan was having a pretty relaxing day! Once we were finished our swim it was time for lunch. WHAT A HUGE DISAPPOINTMENT! And yes, it's shouted because I hope the tour company takes note! This is a private tour! Yet we were taken away from the town, which had many lovely restaurants (we visited two of them the day before!) to the middle of nowhere to a restaurant that serves large tour groups arriving by bus. There was zero atmosphere-just row after row of tables, all empty when we arrived, but filling up some with the arrival of two tour busses. Food was buffet style as you can imagine when the objective is to feed a large number of people quickly. There were basic salads, some soup, pasta, and other hot items-well they were supposed to be hot. They were actually luke-warm and very bland. Probably the worst food we had in Turkey. Again, this tour was for my husband and myself. We paid a lot of money for this experience. We should have been taken to a local, full service restaurant where we could choose what we wanted to eat. Our last stop was the Kaklik Cave. This was interesting although not a highlight. Khan remained in the van. On the drive to the airport, Khan spend the time talking to the driver instead of engaging with us. On a previous tour in Cappadocia (also booked through Viator) the guide sat in the back of the van with us so he could provide commentary and answer questions we had. Also, the driver seemed to be taking personal phone calls while he was driving, which did not leave us with a safe feeling. We were dropped off at the airport at 4:40 pm- a full hour and 20 minutes ahead of when we asked to be dropped off. Khan could have suggested additional sites for us to see or even a stop for coffee, but he and the driver, who ran back around to jump in his seat and take off after getting our bags out, seemed only interested in getting rid of us and heading home. This was a disappointing and expensive tour.
Response from the operator: Hello, thank you for taking the time to review. We agree that the entrance fee is very expensive and unfortunately there is nothing we can do about it.We always want to provide you with the best service in the region. Have a nice holiday.

Comfortable and trust worthy service provider - Moonstar Tour
I visited Istanbul and Antalya from 1 Jan to 5 Jan 2020 with my family.I booked my entire trip including pickup from Airport to city tour with Moonstar Tour. I spoke with Selina, Sales Manager. All travel & transfers were extremely comfortable. I really appreciate her efforts and commitment to serve guest to the best. We did not face payment related issue because of her trust on us, usually payment has to be made before the trip starts but due to some technical problem she did not bother us for prior payment, instead encouraged us to be comfortable first in trip then pay when ever get the network. Moonstar Tour is loyal to their guest. I highly recommend them as your trip partner in Turkey. Well done and thanks a ton for making our tour happy and successful. :)
Response from the operator: Thank you for leaving us such a wonderful review. We put customer experience amd satisfaction as your priority. We look forward to seeing you again.

Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport: questions travelers ask
Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Pamukkale.
How much does Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport cost?
+
Prices start at $240 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Pamukkale usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.
How long does Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport take?
+
Plan for about 6 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Pamukkale is not rushed.
Is Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport worth it?
+
It holds an Outty Ranking of 45 out of 100, which we label "Worth a Look". That score blends traveler sentiment (4/5 across 2 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Pamukkale, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.
Can I cancel or reschedule Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport?
+
Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.
Is Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport suitable for kids and families?
+
Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 6-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.
How far in advance should I book Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport?
+
Around 1 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Pamukkale can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.
What should I bring or wear?
+
Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Pamukkale and add a light layer if any part of the 6-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.
Where does Pamukkale and Kaklik Cave Tour - Drop off DNZ Airport start and how do I get there?
+
The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Pamukkale within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.
What are the best things to do in Pamukkale?
+
On Outty we rank every Pamukkale experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Antalya / Belek : Guided Pamukkale Day Trip & Hierapolis w/ Lunch, Pamukkale Hot Air Balloon w/Flight Certificates,Champagne Toast & Hotel Transfer, Fethiye -Pamukkale-Hierapolis(Cotton Castle)(1 Day). The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.
When is the best time to visit Pamukkale?
+
Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.
How many days do you need in Pamukkale?
+
Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.
Do I book through Outty or through the operator?
+
Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.
