Cappadocia Tour from Boğazkent: The Quiet East End of Belek
Boğazkent is where the Belek coastline runs out of golf courses and turns quiet: a row of large beach resorts near a river mouth, with farmland behind. Guests here often ask whether a trip inland is practical from so far along the shore. It is, and here is how.
Short answer
Yes — Boğazkent hotels are booked directly for the Cappadocia 2-day tour, with no enquiry first, and the coach journey from your resort and back is included. The tour leaves on Tuesdays and Fridays. No clock time is published for Boğazkent: the operator confirms it for your particular hotel after booking and tells you where to wait, normally the main entrance.
Do I have to ask before booking from Boğazkent?
No. Boğazkent belongs to the area the operator collects from as a matter of routine, together with the rest of Belek, the Antalya districts and the resort strings towards Side and Alanya. Kemer and Beldibi are covered as well; only Gazipaşa still needs a request first.
So the booking form works for you exactly as it would anywhere else: choose a Tuesday or a Friday, select your resort, add the people travelling and send it.
Where does the coach meet guests at a Boğazkent resort?
In most cases at the hotel's main entrance, the place a taxi would drop you on arrival. Large complexes here can have more than one gate and long private driveways, and a coach cannot always use every one of them; where access is limited, you are given a designated pickup point close to the hotel instead.
Your confirmation names the spot, so there is no need to guess. If the resort has a security post at the road, a quick word with the staff there the evening before saves confusion at night.
Why is there no fixed pickup time for Boğazkent?
Because the minute is worked out hotel by hotel, once the bookings for that departure are known. Two resorts a short way apart can be given quite different times depending on how the night's run is put together, so a single figure for the whole of Boğazkent would mislead more people than it helped.
What you can count on is a start in the dark and a message by phone or WhatsApp with your own time and place after you book. If it has not arrived by the evening before, ring +90 536 603 75 84. The pickup overview shows how the other areas compare.
How will a night inland compare with our resort?
Simpler, and that is worth knowing in advance. The overnight stop is a 3- or 4-star hotel allocated by availability, with dinner on arrival — drinks are paid separately — and breakfast the following morning. It is a comfortable base for one night rather than a holiday destination in itself.
If a better room is free, an upgrade may be possible; our licensed guide can help you arrange it there, and it may cost extra. Pack for one night only and leave the rest at your resort, after checking with reception that nothing about your stay needs changing while you are away.
What will we actually see in Cappadocia?
A landscape that could hardly be further from a manicured beach: soft volcanic rock worn into cones, ridges and caves on a high, open plateau. On the first day you go below ground at the Underground City, whose entrance is in the fare, then on to Pigeon Valley, the viewpoint beneath Uçhisar Castle and Love Valley.
The programme also includes three shopping stops — onyx and sultanite, leather, Turkish delight — where buying is entirely up to you. The excursion runs to a planned group itinerary, and guests stay with the group and follow the guide's arrangements throughout. A stop-by-stop account is in the itinerary.
Which departure day fits a week in Boğazkent?
The one that leaves your arrival and your flight home alone. Go out on a Tuesday and you are back on Wednesday evening; leave on a Friday and you return on Saturday evening. The return is late, so most guests keep the following day for the beach.
A long coach day the evening before an early airport transfer is the combination to avoid, especially with children.
What do you need from me when I book?
The resort's name, the departure date, how many adults and children are coming (with the children's ages), and a phone number that works on WhatsApp. Room numbers are not needed. If the resort is missing from the list, type its name and choose Belek as the area.
Payment is made in euros, Turkish lira or US dollars during the trip, never online, and you can cancel without charge until 48 hours before the start. For other day trips from this side of the coast, our sister site keeps AtalayTours' excursion list for Antalya.
