PAMUKKALE AND APHRODISIAS DAY TOUR
This tour gives you the option to explore two important historical sites:
*** Aphrodisias – named after Aphrodite, the Greek goddess of love and once a famous school of marble sculpture due to its close proximity to a marble quarry. It also takes you to see the famous Red Springs in the nearby town of Karahayit whose waters are of an intense red color due to the high iron content in the water.
