Yes — an Airbnb flat, a private villa or an aparthotel is an ordinary pickup for us, at the same flat €50 per person that a five-star resort pays. The difference is clerical rather than operational. A hotel has a name the driver already recognises and a desk that can pass on a message; your building has neither. So we work from your address and a map pin instead of a name, and the pickup point we settle on lands in your booking confirmation.
The fear behind this search is nearly always the same, and it is a reasonable one: that a rental address gets typed into a form, nobody quite understands it, and the reservation slides off the morning list without anyone saying so. That is not how a departure is assembled. Every address is read by a person before the route is set, and if yours is genuinely difficult to reach we say so and agree a spot with you in writing. The 30 pickup areas from Tekirova to Gazipaşa cover rented flats exactly as they cover hotels.
A Hotel Has a Name. Your Building Has an Address
Drivers on this coast navigate by hotel. Name one and they know the gate, the turning and which side of the road it stands on. Name Block C of a gated residence three streets inland — a complex that may share its name with two others in the same district — and none of that recognition exists. Plenty of buildings carry no street sign at all, or carry one in Turkish that matches nothing your letting agent sent you.
Coordinates fix that in seconds where a name never will. It is the same reasoning that keeps departure times off this website entirely: the morning order is built from real addresses on a real date, which the pickup and day-length explainer walks through in full.
What to Send Us on WhatsApp
Five things, sent once, and the address stops being a question:
- A location pin, dropped while you are standing at the gate you will actually walk out of — not on the balcony, and not the pin from the listing.
- The complex or building name, plus block and flat number. Turkish complexes label blocks A, B, C or 1, 2, 3; that letter is often what distinguishes two identical entrances.
- The nearest main road or landmark — the D-400, a supermarket, a mosque, a fuel station. This is what a driver actually steers by.
- A photo of the entrance taken from the street, so the vehicle is looking for something it has already seen.
- The mobile number that has WhatsApp on it, since there is no front desk to ring instead.
Send it to +90 536 603 75 84 and a person replies — before you have paid anything, because reservations here are free and settled on the day.
If Your Address Sits Off the Route
Some rentals are up a hillside lane, behind a barrier only residents can lift, or on a street where a full-size coach has nowhere to turn. Nobody benefits from pretending otherwise at dawn. In those cases we agree a meeting point within a short walk — a named junction, a hotel gate, a fuel station you can find while it is still dark — and we agree it with you beforehand rather than announcing it on the day.
Guests in Kargıcak, where the residences climb well above the coast road, and at the far western end in Tekirova, meet this more often than most. Neither costs a penny extra; a walk of a few minutes is the whole of it.
Nothing Else About the Day Changes
The fare stays €50 per person for everyone aged 4+, with infants 0–3 free and no child discount to hunt for. It buys collection and return to the same address, the round-trip coach, a licensed guide, travel insurance and three meals: breakfast on the road, lunch near Pamukkale, dinner on the way home. Entrance tickets are paid at the gates, because the site administration sets those rates and revises them seasonally.
What you get for the early start is a hillside of white travertine you wade barefoot — shoes off is the site rule that protects the calcite — and Hierapolis above it, the Greco-Roman spa city that shares the same UNESCO listing, inscribed in 1988. Swimming happens only in the Cleopatra Antique Pool, on its own ticket. Door to door the day runs roughly 11–14 hours, daily from March to November and Monday to Saturday in the December–February window. Reserve free and pay on the day, cancel free up to 24 hours before, and send us the address whenever you like.
