You will visit the ancient city of Sagalassos, lost high in the mountains, whose buildings date back to 25 BC. The emergence of a city in such an inaccessible place can truly be called a titanic work – in the middle of the Tauride Mountains at an altitude of 1700 m – after all, to build the agora, central streets and magnificent Roman baths, the builders had to level the mountainside!
 
An even more amazing fact is that the Antoninler Fountain is still working in the central square of the city , built during Roman times over 1800 years ago. This is a unique opportunity to get in touch with history and see the stadium where sports competitions and gladiator fights took place, marble columns and arches, tombs carved into the rocks, the theater …
 
Afterwards we will head to lakeSalda – "Turkish Maldives". Why did this place get this name? Thanks to the emerald color of the crystal clear water, framed by snow-white shores, the “lake” you can't name this place! And although upon closer examination the sand turns out to be not sand at all, but mineral deposits, the surface of the water continues to amaze with its bright, captivating colors. The lake is surrounded on all sides by mountain slopes covered with pine trees. The pine aroma is breathtaking! This is why the nature of Turkey is beautiful, that in the middle of high mountains and coniferous forests the “Maldives” were formed.
