Pamukkale Tour from Kızılağaç & Kızılot 2027: Pickup and Day Plan

Does the tour really come out to Kızılağaç?

It does. Guests here sometimes assume a tour sold "from Antalya" means a long taxi ride to a pickup in town, but this one works differently. The operator's coach runs along the coast collecting guests hotel by hotel, and both Kızılağaç and Kızılot belong to the Side–Manavgat part of that route.

So you do not travel anywhere to start. You are collected where you sleep, or at a meeting point a short walk away if your street is too tight for a coach.

Hotel entrance or meeting point: which applies to you

Most of the resort hotels along this stretch open onto roads a coach can use, and there you wait at the main entrance. A few family-run places and apartment buildings sit further back in the village, on lanes where a large vehicle cannot turn. For those addresses the operator names a handy spot nearby to meet the coach, a designated meeting point.

You do not have to judge this yourself. Give the exact name of your accommodation when you book, and the confirmation tells you where to be.

When you will be collected

Pamukkale lies inland in Denizli province, so every pickup on the coast happens during the night. We do not print a time for Kızılağaç or Kızılot on this page: each hotel's moment depends on the operator's route, and you hear yours once the booking is in.

For how the night windows work in each area, read the pickup times page. Then rely on the time in your confirmation, and be outside a few minutes before it.

How the long day unfolds

The coach climbs inland over the mountains while most passengers doze. Breakfast is served at a stop on the way. Then comes Lake Salda, its water startlingly turquoise against white sand, a protected place you enjoy from the shore.

Before lunch the coach makes a short stop where local onyx, a decorative stone from the region, is shown in a small outlet; whether you buy anything is entirely up to you. After lunch at a restaurant you reach the white terraces of Pamukkale, where you walk barefoot past shallow pools, and the Greco-Roman city of Hierapolis on the hill above, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1988.

Heading home, you pause briefly where regional wine from the area is presented (optional again), and have dinner at a restaurant. The same coach then returns you to Kızılağaç or Kızılot late that night.

With or without the entrance ticket

Under both fares, babies aged 0–1 share a parent's lap and get no seat. The guide's language varies with the group and season (English, German or Russian as a rule; Polish especially in high season, if groups require it), and breakfast, lunch, dinner and the Salda stop are part of both fares. Drinks, the Cleopatra Pool and paragliding are not; the two extras are optional, and the current price is on the price page. Our ticket page explains which version suits whom. The higher fare is the lower one plus €30 per person for the entrance.

Booking it

Choose your date on the booking form: departures are on Tuesdays, Thursdays and Sundays, and daily through May and October. No card is taken on the website: the fare is paid in euros when you travel, and cancelling stays free until 48 hours before the coach sets off. Everything about the tour is also summed up on the home page. Private groups and families should look at the private option, which we price on request.
