Antiikin Stratonikeian ja Laginan kierros

Ikuisen rakkauden kaupunkina tunnettu Stratonikeia on täynnä historiaa. Tällä kierroksella tutustut yhteen Turkin kiehtovimmista arkeologisista kohteista ennen kuin lähdet läheiseen Laginaan, jossa sijaitsee kuuluisa Hekaten pyhäkkö.Päivä alkaa opastetulla kierroksella Stratonikeiassa – seleukidien kuningas Antiokhos I:n 200-luvulla perustamassa kaupungissa, joka nimettiin hänen vaimonsa Stratoniken mukaan. Se oli merkittävä kaupunki alueella hellenistisellä kaudella ja toimi kaupankäynnin keskuksena. Saapuessasi saat kupin perinteistä turkkilaista teetä, ja jos haluat jotain naposteltavaa, voit ostaa pikkupurtavaa, kuten gözlemeä, suolaista turkkilaista pannukakkua, tai paahdettuja voileipiä. Saat vihiä kaupungin maineikkaasta menneisyydestä kulkiessasi suurten pylväsrivien ja roomalaisten kylpylöiden ohi pitkin mukulakivisiä kujia. Näet myös vaikuttavan teatterin, jonne mahtuu jopa 12 000 katsojaa. Stratonikeiaan tutustumisen jälkeen jatkat matkaa Laginaan, joka on pyhitetty Hekatelle – taikuuden, yön, kuun, tienhaarojen ja magian jumalattarelle. Paikan sisäänkäynti, seremoniallinen polku ja temppelin rauniot antavat käsityksen rituaaleista, joita täällä aikoinaan järjestettiin, ja tekevät siitä yhden alueen kiehtovimmista muinaisista pyhäköistä.

Full-day Pamukkale and Hierapolis tour with thermal pool stop

One of Mother Nature's masterpieces, Pamukkale, which translates as Cotton Castle, is a spectacle of water-filled terraces that've been slowly sculpted over thousands of years. You'll head out from Bodrum to check out this UNESCO World Heritage Site and explore the ancient ruins of Hierapolis. Mehmet, one of our local expert guides, says, “people travelled for weeks to bathe in the waters of Pamukkale, believing they brought strength, clarity and even a bit of luck. The same springs that drew ancient travellers are still flowing today, shaping the terraces day by day. The landscape never stops evolving.”You'll arrive at Pamukkale with time to explore at your own pace, taking in the mountainside terraces where natural springs have solidified into snowy-white stalactites, ripples and cliffs. Just above the terraces sit the ruins of Hierapolis, an ancient Roman spa city that once drew visitors from across the empire. Its grand theatre, necropolis and old bathhouses are spread across the plateau, giving you plenty to explore beyond the white pools below.Pick-up will be in the early morning so that you can set off in time to reach Pamukkale for early afternoon, with a comfort break in the town of Mugla along the way. After your visit to the terraces and ruins, you'll stop to recharge at the Pam Thermal Hotel. There's a lunch included, too, and there's even time for a dip in the hotel's thermal pool if you fancy it – the perfect way to wrap up a day spent checking out one of Turkey's most iconic natural wonders.

Bodrum Turkish Bath with Transport

Turkish baths are synonymous the world over with relaxation and rejuvenation. The bath house, or hammam, has been a central part of life in Turkey for centuries, and with good reason – they're a serious refresher for the mind, body and soul. Change into your swimwear in a cubicle, wrap yourself in a towel and step into the marble-tiled hammam or steam room. Relax on a heated marble bench and let the warm steam open your pores and ease the toxins from your skin. Then lie on a warm stone slab for an exfoliating body scrub, receive a bubbly foam massage, before rounding off your pampering with a 20-minute massage with essential oils – bliss (the oil massage is optional and can be selected by guests via modality). Once you've cooled off, you'll come away feeling utterly refreshed.
