★★★★★★★★★★4.1 · 19 reviews · 15 hours · from $210

“We booked this tour as we wanted to base in Izmir and not to change the hotel, but if anyone is considering to do this, be aware that it will be a trip with 10 hours on the bus. One way journey took 5 hours. We were picked up at 6.30 in the morning, then the bus continued to Selcuk to pick up another group and then it took another 3 hours to Denizli. We had to change to another bus here which was totally full. Then we had 3 hours to spend in Pamukkale. Had lunch nearby, visited the onyx shop and finally another 5 hours back to Izmir.…”
