Pamukkale Tour from Kundu 2027: Hotel Pickup & Salda Lake
Kundu's resorts are large, with long drives, side gates and sometimes more than one lobby. Here is how the night pickup works when your hotel is the size of a small village.
In short
Yes: in Kundu you are picked up at your own hotel. Wait at the hotel's designated pickup point, its main entrance, at the time we confirm after booking; the pickup is at night, and this page gives no clock time. The same coach brings you back to the hotel late the same night. The tour is €90 with the Pamukkale entrance ticket or €60 without it.

Large resorts: the main entrance, not your villa block
In a big complex it is easy to wait in the wrong place. The coach stops at the hotel's designated pickup point, which is the main entrance, so not the beach gate, a side gate or the staff entrance, and not outside your own block.
Allow time to walk from your room to the lobby; on some sites that alone takes a while at night. When you book, write the hotel name exactly as it appears on your voucher. If anything about the entrance is unclear, ask us after booking and we will check it before your date.
Leaving before the buffet opens
An all-inclusive breakfast will still be hours away when you go, and that is fine: breakfast is part of the tour, served at a stop on the way. If you would like a snack for the coach, ask reception the evening before what they can offer.
It also helps to tell reception you are on an early excursion, and to set two alarms. Bring a warm layer: nights on the coast can be cool even in summer, and the road climbs over the Taurus.
The route, once you leave the coast
- Breakfast stop (included)
- Lake Salda: turquoise water, white shore, time for photographs (included)
- A short stop where local onyx stone products are shown; nothing has to be bought
- Lunch at a restaurant (included)
- Pamukkale's travertines, barefoot, and the ancient city of Hierapolis
- A short stop for regional wine; buying is optional
- Dinner at a restaurant (included), then the drive back to Kundu
How long the day feels, and why it starts so early, is explained in the day length guide.
Two versions, one coast-wide price
Kundu pays what every resort pays. With the Pamukkale–Hierapolis ticket included the day is €90 for adults (8+) and €70 for children aged 2–7; without the ticket it is €60 and €40. A baby aged 0–1 rides on a parent's lap and is given no seat. That ticket portion comes to €30 per person on top of the tour.
Going without the ticket means buying the entrance at the gate; we leave its price out because the site administration sets it. The Cleopatra Pool and paragliding are optional paid extras in both versions, with current prices on the price page.
Book from Kundu
Use the booking form to choose a Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday, or any day in May or October. The ticket page helps if you are undecided between the two versions, and the tour page sums up the day. Should your plans shift, cancelling costs nothing when it is done 48 or more hours ahead.
Neighbours: the Lara page covers the strip towards the city, and the Belek page the resorts further east. Hotel guests travelling together can ask for a private tour instead; it is quoted on request.
