You can swim in the Antique pool in Pamukkale. However, please note that there is an extra charge that you will have to pay directly at your own expense before entry to the pools. This entrance fee to the pools is not covered as part of your tour.
Please note that you must bring your own towel, swimsuit etc. if you need to use the pools.
When you arrive in Istanbul, you can take the free shuttle bus to Aksaray or Taksim. The free shuttle service is provided by the local bus company, not by us therefore you can choose to take the shuttle bus to Aksaray or Taksim.

Either way, these arrangements are at your own responsibility as we will not be making any transfer arrangements after your return to Istanbul on Day 3.
