Denizli

I ended up riding a hot air balloon in Pamukkale since I couldn't do it in Cappadocia. It wasn't quite like Cappadocia, but I still got to enjoy the experience. The weather was great, and the ride was safe. The price is also very reasonable.

Convenience: It was easy to book, and using it was convenient too, as I just had to show the voucher code for immediate entry. Included Activities: It was great to experience a variety of activities, but I wish more passes were available for popular tourist areas like Cappadocia and Antalya. I used three passes: Basilica Cistern, Cappadocia Cave Dinner Show, and Pamukkale. If you choose the fast-track option for Basilica Cistern, you get in really quickly; the regular line was too long. Also, download the audio guide beforehand and listen to it at your accommodation. Even if you download it, once you're on-site, the data connection might drop midway, and it's too chaotic with so many tourists to concentrate anyway, haha. And the complimentary cruise was really good! However, for the unlimited drinks package, the seats are in the center, so you can't sit by the edge; those seats are reserved for people who booked with a meal. But I was satisfied because going downstairs to the first floor after the boat departed and standing outside was cooler, offered better views, and made for great photos.

We had a great experience on the day tour. The service was punctual and well coordinated, and our guide was friendly, informative, and always happy to help. The lunch was also delicious and well arranged. The entire day went smoothly, with excellent support from start to finish. Definitely recommend!

Initially, the process of transferring from a small 15-seater bus to a larger one was a bit confusing, but afterward, our guide provided excellent explanations, and the journey on the spacious large bus was comfortable. It took 3 hours to get from Antalya to Hierapolis, and we had plenty of restroom breaks and even visited an onyx factory (no forced shopping). The weather was a bit cloudy, which made sightseeing at Hierapolis quite pleasant. For those planning to dip their feet in Pamukkale, remember to bring a towel, and since you'll be outside for about 3 and a half hours, I recommend bringing water. We spent about an hour exploring a portion of the site with the guide, followed by an hour and a half of free time. After that, those who wished to went up to the Hierapolis theater on the hill with the guide. The lunch buffet afterward was also good.

My only complaint with this tour are the 3 stopovers on our way to Pamukkale. For every stopover, we were given 30mins and even longer at the Onyx (for demonstration/sales) shop. The time spent on these place should be lessened as the allotted 3 hrs is not sufficient to enjoy Pamukkale, the Ancient city and Cleopatra's bath. On our way back to Antalya, there was only one stopover, which is a testament to the fact that the tour participants don't need too many stopovers Imagine the travel time from Antalya to the site was 6.5hrs including pickup and stopovers while our travel time from the site to our hotel was only 3.5hrs with stopover.

This hot air balloon and Pamukkale tour with Melo was truly fantastic. On the way to ride the hot air balloon, I had a lot of luggage because I was with my 6-year-old child, so I couldn't pack everything I needed. She kindly lent me her blanket to keep my daughter warm, and I am so grateful for that. She kindly guided all of us during the transfers and helped us rest comfortably in a clean place. At Hierapolis, her explanations were very professional and easy to understand, and thanks to her wonderful wit and leadership, we were able to tour the site comfortably. The meals were very neat and delicious. Considering that all of this is included at this price, this is definitely an amazing tour. The trip back to Antalya was also very comfortable. I thank her and highly recommend her tour.

Thanks to the travel agency's thoughtful arrangements, every part of the itinerary was well-planned. The guide in Ephesus was the most patient and professional throughout the trip, and deserves special praise. Pamukkale was beautiful, and the sea in Kusadasi was stunning – I'd love to visit again. The coastal waterfalls in Antalya were absolutely gorgeous, and Cappadocia's unique landscape was unforgettable. Our fellow travelers were also very nice. Looking forward to our next gathering! Thumbs up!
