Sea Kayaking: €45

Ghost Town Tour: €35
If you're into your history, or just like hearing a good story, this one is for you!
The ghost town of Kayaköy – a cluster of about a thousand centuries-old stone houses scattered across a hillside – has a poignant history. Formerly inhabited by Greek citizens of the Ottoman Empire and known by the Greek name of Levissi, it was abandoned in 1923 after the Greek-Turkish population exchange that took place after the founding of the Turkish Republic.
Walking among the crumbling, empty houses and through the narrow lanes can be rather eerie, but the deserted village has a surreal beauty to it. There are a couple of churches and chapels, of which the most significant is the Panayia Pyrgiotissa (built in 1888), where a few fragments of frescoes and mosaics can still be seen.
PAMUKKALE DAY TRIP: €100
THIS TOUR CAN BE ADDED ON BEFORE OR AFTER YOUR INDY ESCAPE TOUR.
Visit the historic town of Pamukkale which means “cotton castle” in Turkish, and it is a natural site containing hot springs and travertines; terraces of mineral carbonates left by the water flowing with its temperate climate throughout the years.
We will also visit the ancient city of Hierapolis, a UNESCO World Heritage site. The natural sources have been used as a spa since the 2nd century BC.
You will also have the opportunity to swim in the Cleopatra pool with an additional charge (by the facility), filled with marble columns from the Roman temple of Apollo & Agora of the City.
