Pamukkale Tour Pickup Times 2027 along the Antalya coast

The three pickup bands

The operator collects guests belt by belt, so each part of the coast has its own window. We publish the window rather than a time for each resort, because the order of the route shifts with who is booked on the day.

Your own time arrives with your booking confirmation. Please do not plan around a time you have read for a neighbouring hotel: the confirmed time is the one that counts.

Hotel zones and restricted streets

Along the whole Antalya–Alanya resort coast we operate on, the coach picks you up at your hotel. Where vehicles are restricted, on narrow lanes or in pedestrian-only quarters, you are given a convenient meeting point within easy reach instead. Either way, the exact time and place are sent to you once your booking is confirmed.

In practice that means two kinds of pickup. At resort and beach hotels you wait at the hotel's designated pickup point, which is the main entrance. In Kaleiçi, inside Side old town and in other narrow city-centre streets a coach cannot reach the door, so we send you a meeting point close to where you are staying once your booking is confirmed. We never promise a door pickup in those streets, and we only give the meeting point to booked guests.

Belek, Kadriye and Boğazkent

The Belek area is now served like the rest of the coast: Belek itself, Kadriye and Boğazkent, with pickup at your hotel's main entrance. The operator does not publish a separate band for these hotels, so we do not print one; your time is confirmed after booking, exactly as for every other resort.

Gazipaşa, east of Alanya, is still on request. Give us your hotel and date first, the operator tells us whether the coach can reach you and when, and only then is anything booked.

Why the night start

Pamukkale lies inland, beyond the Taurus Mountains, and the day also takes in Lake Salda on the way. Leaving in the dark is what makes room for breakfast, the lake, lunch, the travertines and Hierapolis, and dinner before the coach brings you home the same night, late.

The Alanya band is the earliest on the clock, so guests there have the longest day. Our guide to how long the day takes walks through it stop by stop.

How your pickup time reaches you

Please write your hotel name exactly as it appears on your booking, and add the street if the hotel has a sister property with a similar name nearby. A clear address is the simplest way to make sure the coach stops in the right place.

Travelling as a private group or family? The private Pamukkale tour is a separate option, and the same pickup rules apply to it: send us your guests, hotel and date.

• You send the booking form with your hotel, your date and a phone number with WhatsApp if you have it.
• We pass your hotel to the operator and confirm your place together with your pickup time.
• If you are unsure about anything before the night, message us on +90 536 603 75 84 and we answer in English.

What to do on the night

• Set two alarms and be at your hotel's designated pickup point, the main entrance, or at your confirmed meeting point a little before your time, so you are ready rather than rushing.
• Let reception know the evening before that you will be heading out during the night, so the door and the desk are not a surprise. There is no need to eat first: breakfast is included at a stop on the way.
• Take a warm layer. Night air at the start and the inland stops can feel cooler than the coast; our what to wear guide has the full list.
• Keep your phone charged and our number, +90 536 603 75 84, to hand in case the coach is held up.

Every pickup area, west to east

The coach that collects you also brings you back, dropping guests at their hotels or meeting points after dinner on the road, late the same night. Every stretch of the coast has a page of its own:

• Kemer coast: Kemer, Tekirova and Beldibi

• Belek area: Belek and Kadriye and Boğazkent

• East of Side: Sorgun and Titreyengöl and Kızılağaç and Kızılot
• Towards Alanya: Okurcalar and Çenger, Avsallar and Türkler and Konaklı
• Alanya and beyond: Alanya centre and Oba, Kestel and Mahmutlar
