Full-day tour of the Old City. In the morning, we will visit Hagia Sophia (exterior view only), one of Istanbul's most iconic landmarks, a magnificent architectural marvel that we offer to our visitors. It is considered one of the largest and most important mosques in the world.

Afterwards, we depart for Pamukkale and have free time at the "Cotton Castle," unique in the world for its thermal limestone pools and petrified waterfalls. Hierapolis is one of the largest reservoirs in Anatolia, and along with the "cotton pools," it is a place of great interest. Today, Pamukkale is located right next to the ancient city of Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and recognized as one of the most important and attractive tourist destinations in the world. The town of Pamukkale owes its name, which means "Cotton Castle," to the stratified white limestone formations.
