Top Antalya Outdoor Activities - page 18

We had an absolutely fantastic day touring Termessos and the Old Town of Antalya with Onder. He was knowledgeable, professional, and genuinely passionate about sharing the history and culture of the area. Onder brought the ancient ruins of Termessos to life with stories and historical insights that made the site even more impressive. If you’re visiting Antalya and want a memorable, informative, and enjoyable experience, I highly recommend booking a tour with Onder. This was the highlight of our trip to Turkey!

Family of 5 including a 14, 12 and 7 year old. Still a bit cold in this region in the early hours in April (we are from Scotland) so wear trousers and layers but take shorts for the pamukale part. Great communication from the tour company via the Viator app and directly through WhatsApp. Driver was great, we felt safe. Tour guide, Ibrahim, was relaxed, friendly, knowledgeable and flexible with the itinerary to suit us (but without giving too much info to make it a lecture). Hot air balloon trip was amazing, well run and felt safe, about 15 of us spread out over four basket compartments. Loved every minute and was up in the air in time for sunrise. Pamukale and heiropolis were equally amazing. Stopped off once in the way to the balloons for snacks and toilets. Lunch was excellent. Stopped once in the way back for snacks and toilets. Bus was comfortable. An early start (2.30am pick up from Aska Lara) but well worth the journey. We would do it all over again and would recommend.

I had a great time with this trip. Our tour guide Erhan is funny and knowledgable, that makes the trip fun and interesting to learn about a new place. He is very helpful as well :) Our bus driver Hassam drives very safely, it feels so smooth through all moutains. I wish the bus has a socket to charge phone though. The bus was definitely long but with several breaks in between it’s doable.
