Pamukkale Tour Price 2027: with or without the entrance ticket

Both versions side by side

It is the same coach, the same guide and the same programme either way. The difference is a single line: whether you walk through the Pamukkale gate with a ticket already paid for, or buy it there yourself.

The €30 is the entrance part of our package. The official price at the gate is set by the site administration and it changes, so we do not quote it; our part is to tell you plainly that the ticket-less version does not include the entrance.

How the package price is built

The package is simple addition: the tour fare, plus the entrance part of €30 per person. An adult pays €60 for the tour and €30 for the entrance, which makes €90. A child aged 2–7 pays €40 for the tour and the same €30 for the entrance, which makes €70.

Children do not get a reduced entrance automatically. If an official child tariff exists at the gate, the guide or our operations team checks it; we cannot promise one.

What the fare already covers

Whichever version you choose, the coach picks you up at your hotel during the night and brings you back the same night. A guide stays with the group all day. The guide language depends on the group and the season: English, German and Russian are generally available, and Polish especially in high season, depending on groups and not every day. Breakfast is served at a stop on the way, lunch is at a restaurant, and dinner is at a restaurant on the drive home. The stop at Lake Salda is part of the day for everyone.

The ticket version adds one thing: the entrance to Pamukkale and Hierapolis, which share a single ticket. Read more about that choice on our entrance ticket page, or see the full list on the what is included panel.

Optional extras and what to budget

Two things on the day are never part of either fare, and both are entirely up to you. Their current prices are listed on this page, straight from our booking system.

• Cleopatra (Antique) Pool: an optional paid extra, with its current price listed on this page. It is the one place at Pamukkale where you actually swim, in warm spring water over fallen ancient columns. See our Cleopatra Pool guide.
• Paragliding over Pamukkale: an optional paid extra, its current price also listed here, arranged through the guide on the day, if the weather allows it. More on the paragliding page.
• Drinks with your meals are paid separately.

The programme also includes two short stops for local products of the area: one where local onyx stone pieces are presented, and one for regional wine. Buying anything at either is entirely optional, so you need not budget for them at all unless something catches your eye.

Worked examples for families

Prices are per person, so a family simply adds up its rows. A few common groups, in words:

• Two adults on the ticket version: €90 each, made up of €60 for the tour and €30 for the entrance, with nothing more to pay at the gate for the site.
• Two adults and a child aged 2–7 on the ticket version: €90 for each adult, plus €70 for the child, made up of €40 for the tour and €30 for the entrance.
• The same family without tickets: €60 for each adult and €40 for the child, and you buy the entrance for all three yourself at the gate.
• Travelling with a baby aged 0–1? The baby has no seat and travels on a parent's lap; please give the baby's age when you book.

The child fare covers ages 2–7, and from 8 the adult fare applies, so please give real ages on the form. Our guide to Pamukkale with children covers the night start with little ones.

One fare for the whole coast

Whether you are staying in Kemer, in Antalya itself, in Belek, around Side or in Alanya, the price is identical. The coach collects guests from hotels along the whole Antalya–Alanya resort coast, and what changes from one resort to the next is the pickup time, not the cost. The pickup times page explains how your time is set.

In Kaleiçi, Side old town and other narrow or pedestrian-only streets the coach cannot reach a hotel door, so those guests receive a nearby meeting point after booking, at the same fare. Gazipaşa, beyond Alanya, is handled on request: tell us your hotel and preferred day first, and nothing is booked until the operator has confirmed.

How and when you pay

Nothing is paid online and no card is asked for. You fill in the booking form, we confirm your place and pickup time, and you pay in euros on the tour day.

Cancelling costs nothing up to 48 hours before the start, and one booking can hold up to 20 guests. Murat Atalay Travel Agency sells the tour under TÜRSAB licence No. 11294. The details sit in our cancellation terms.

Which version gives you more for your money?

If you want the travertines and the ancient city without counting cash at a ticket window, the ticket version is the tidy choice. The ticket-less one suits travellers who would rather buy the entrance themselves.

Either way you get the same day: Lake Salda in the morning, the white terraces and Hierapolis in the afternoon, three meals and a seat home. If you are still weighing up the trip itself, our honest look at whether Pamukkale is worth it from Antalya may help.

Travelling as a private group or family? The private Pamukkale tour is a separate option, with the price on request.
