This excursion will immerse you in the atmosphere of the Turkish Riviera, sometimes referred to as the Pearl of the South, in the heart of Antalya. Your first stop will be at the Karpuzkaldiran waterfalls, a natural site much appreciated by the locals, before continuing with a visit to a jewellery and leather goods workshop. This visit will give you the chance to familiarise yourself with the manufacturing techniques, talk to the craftsmen or buy an authentic souvenir. Afterwards, you can enjoy 3 hours of free time to explore the town at your leisure or take a lunch break. In the afternoon, you will be offered a guided tour of Kaleici - the historic town - to find out all about its history. At the end of the tour, before heading back to your hotel, you can take some time to go shopping or wander through the narrow streets of the city at your leisure.
This excursion will take you over the unique UNESCO World Heritage Site of Cappadoccia. Volcanic activity, wind and water have gradually sculpted an unusual landscape of rock formations in the form of fairytale chimneys, peaks and citadels whose colours change according to the light. Over time, these rock formations have been transformed by humans into troglodyte dwellings and even churches. As you explore, you'll discover an underground city that once served as a refuge for the first Christians, as well as the Pigeon Valley and the Göreme open-air museum.
This fascinating metropolis at the crossroads of East and West is the result of 3,000 years of rich and eventful history. This excursion will give you the chance to visit the iconic Blue Mosque, with its six minarets and many domes. In the heart of the Constantinople Hippodrome, you will see the German Fountain, built in the 19th century in honour of German Emperor Wilhelm II. The tour also includes a visit to the Topkapi Palace, which was the residence of the Ottoman sultans for over 400 years, and the Egyptian bazaar, one of the most impressive in the world, with its spice market and exotic atmosphere.
This trip will take you to the ancient city of Demre, where you will board a boat bound for Simena, a magnificent archaeological site inaccessible by land, and the island of Kekova, the remains of which are partly underwater. You'll have the chance to swim there before heading back to Demre for lunch and a visit to the church of Saint Nicolas. A trip to the ancient city of Lymra, home to a Lycian necropolis carved into the mountainside, is the final stop on this excursion.
On this excursion, you will visit the exceptional site of the thermal spa of Hierapolis, at the top of the Pamukkale hill. The travertines on which it rests were created gradually over 400,000 years by the bubbling of mineral springs. You will have the chance to discover the remains of this impressive Greco-Roman spa complex, and admire the ruins of the Roman amphitheatre near the necropolis.
This adventure is available from all regions and all LuxairTours hotels. Participants will be taken to the meeting point in the heart of the Taurus region and given an introduction to rafting before boarding the boat and setting off. Rafting down the Köprülü is an adrenalin-fuelled experience where emotions run high, but it’s also perfectly suitable for beginners. A swimming costume is essential!
