Pamukkale Tour from Sorgun & Titreyengöl 2027: Hotel Pickup

Three neighbouring places, one way of being collected

These resorts sit between Side and Manavgat, many of them large hotels set back among the pines with long driveways and several buildings. That layout is the main thing to know: the coach halts by the hotel's front door, never at a beach bar, a garden block or a side gate.

Booked into a flat or a small guesthouse on a narrow lane? If the coach cannot get there, you receive a designated meeting point with your confirmation instead.

Your pickup time arrives after booking

This page prints no clock time, and that is deliberate. The operator plans the night route once the bookings are in, so your hotel's time reaches you once you have booked, along with where to stand. The pickup times page explains how the windows work along the whole coast.

Big hotels sometimes have more than one entrance. If yours does, add a line to your booking saying which reception you use, and we pass it on.

A night start in a big resort: small things that help

• Let the front desk know at dinner time that your group sets off during the night, so the barrier and door are open
• Ask for a breakfast box only if you want one: breakfast is already included at a stop on the way
• Give yourself time for the walk from your block to the main entrance; in a large complex it is longer than you think
• Keep your phone charged and switched on, in case the guide needs to reach you

The day, from the pine coast to the white terraces

Once the coach has collected everyone it turns inland across the Taurus. You have breakfast at a stop along the way, then reach Lake Salda, whose pale shores and bright water are why it is often called Turkey's Maldives (it is a protected area, so this is a stop to look and walk, not to swim).

Next comes a short stop where local onyx stone pieces are displayed; you may browse or simply stretch your legs, as nothing has to be bought. After lunch at a restaurant you reach Pamukkale: you take your shoes off for the travertine terraces and then walk up into the ruins of Hierapolis. On the way home there is a brief stop where regional wine is presented, again entirely optional, and dinner at a restaurant before the coach brings you back to Sorgun late the same night.

What the two fares cover

Both versions include the coach both ways, a guide (whose language follows group and season: English, German or Russian in most cases, Polish particularly in high season), breakfast, lunch, dinner and Lake Salda. The ticket version (€90 per adult, €70 per child aged 2–7) adds the single Pamukkale–Hierapolis entrance. Without it you pay €60 or €40 and buy the entrance at the gate. Any baby aged 0–1 takes no seat and travels on a parent's lap. The entrance share inside the ticket fare is €30 per person.

Not included either way: drinks, the Cleopatra Pool and paragliding. The last two are optional paid extras, and their current price is on the price page. If you are weighing up the two versions, the ticket comparison helps.

Booking from Sorgun, Titreyengöl or Boğaz

Open the booking form, pick a Tuesday, Thursday or Sunday (in May and October every day runs), search for your hotel and add your party of up to 20. Payment happens in euros on the morning of the tour, not online, and a cancellation made 48 hours or more ahead costs you nothing. The home page sums up the whole tour. Big families at the pine-coast resorts sometimes prefer a private tour; ask us and we reply with a price.
