Pamukkale is Turkey's foremost mineral-bath spa because of its natural beauty: hot calcium-laden waters spring from the earth and cascade over a cliff. As they cool they form dramatic travertines of  hard, brilliantly white calcium that form pools.

“Pamukkale lohnt sich”
Reviewed by Laura M****   Flensburg  Germany  11-11-2015
Wie auf allen Touren ist zu wenig Zeit. Pamukkale ist echt beeindruckend und man fühlt sich wie im Paradies. Allerdings wussten wir nicht warum wir so viel Geld im Voraus bezahlen mussten, wenn man auf der Tour auch nochmal 21 Euro zahlen muss.
“Schlechte Organisation, Englischer Reiseführer”
Reviewed by Fenja R*****   Marl  Germany  06-10-2015
Leider war der Ausflug schlecht organisiert, was jedoch wohl aber eher daran lag, dass es auch einige Leute im Bus gab, welche über einen Hoteleigenen Agenten gebucht haben. Hier kam es die ganze 5 Std Fahrt über zu lautstarken Diskussionen.
Leider wurden nicht wie besprochen alle Stationen angefahren!
Eintritte relativ teuer. Für beide Ausflugsstationen zusammen 23 €, hätte man vielleicht vorher wissen müssen.
2x wurde eine Verkaufsveranstaltung eingeschoben, auch als niemand mehr zu dieser Lust hatte.

Unserer Meinung nach waren 3 Std. Aufenthalt zu lang, wenn man baden wollte okay, was jedoch nochmal exklusiv berechnet wurde. (Eintritt)

Leider sehr weiter Weg. Ankunft am Hotel abends nicht vor 23 Uhr, je nach Abfahrtsort --> Alanya nicht vor 24 Uhr.

Pamukkale lohnt sich, die Verkaufsstopps völlig unnötig
Der Guide hat die an diesem Tag sehr anspruchsvolle Aufgabe sehr gut gemeistert - ein grosser Teil der Teilnehmenden sprach weder Deutsch noch Englisch (für die Russischsprachigen war ein 2. Guide zuständig), sodass er vieles individuell erläutern musste. Ein Besuch in Pamukkale lohnt sich auf jeden Fall und ist sehr eindrücklich. Die Stopps in den Fabriken (Lederjacken und Wein) waren reine Verkaufsveranstaltungen, in der Lederfabrik sehr aggressiv. Ein reiner Zeitverlust, entsprechend blieb weniger Zeit für das eigentliche Ziel und das Essen musste jeweils richtiggehend hinuntergeschlungen werden aus Zeitnot. Aufgrund der Verkaufsstopps rate ich von der Teilnahme an dieser Tour dringend ab! (Es gibt Ausflüge dorthin, die werbefrei sind. Lieber mehr bezahlen und dafür 1 bis 2 Stunden mehr Zeit vor Ort verbringen.) Ebenso ist es nicht empfehlenswert, an diesem Ausflug teilzunehmen, wenn man in Alanya ist: Wegen Hin-/Rückfahrt ist man 20-22 Stunden unterwegs, ab Side geht es noch.
