Cappadocia Tour from Çenger and Okurcalar: The Mid-Coast Pickup

Which pickup list do Okurcalar and Çenger belong to?

Okurcalar appears on the operator's Alanya-belt list, near its western end. Çenger, its neighbour, is served as well but has no time of its own on record. Book either through the normal booking form; no request step is needed.

Further west, Kızılağaç is on the Side-belt list; further east, İncekum and Avsallar continue the Alanya belt. The pickup page lists them all. Which list a hotel sits on changes nothing about the trip itself: the programme, the fare and the guide are the same for every guest on board.

How early is the coach in Okurcalar, and how does that compare?

Okurcalar is collected at about 04:45. That is later than resorts towards Alanya — İncekum is around 04:15, Avsallar around 04:00 — and a little earlier than Kızılağaç at around 05:00.

All of these are approximate operator times. The exact minute for your hotel comes after booking, because it depends on how many hotels are on that night's run.

Why is there no time for Çenger yet?

Because the operator has not given one, and we will not guess at an hour when a missed coach means a missed trip. Çenger is served all the same: book as usual and your time is confirmed personally after booking.

If the evening before departure arrives without it, call +90 536 603 75 84 and we will get it for you.

Where do we stand when the coach arrives?

At the main entrance of your hotel, in most cases, since the coast road runs close to most properties here. Some hotels sit down steep or narrow access lanes a coach cannot use; for those the operator provides a convenient designated meeting point by the main road.

The message with your time says which applies. Be outside a few minutes early — in the dark a coach does not wait long.

How do I get ready for a quarter-to-five start?

Prepare the evening before. Lay out warm clothes, charge your phone, and ask reception for a breakfast box: the first stop is a café where food is sold, but that breakfast is not included. Two alarms are better than one.

Pack light but warm; the plateau is far colder than the coast in the early hours. What to pack has a short list.

Settle anything with the hotel the night before, too. At that hour the front desk may be staffed by a single night porter, and a quick goodbye is easier than queuing over a bill while the coach waits at the gate.

What comes after the pickup?

A long morning on the road — about 3 h 15 min, a rest stop, then about 1 h 50 min — to the Underground City, entry included. Then Pigeon Valley, the view below Uçhisar Castle, an onyx and sultanite centre and Love Valley. The night is in a 3- or 4-star hotel allocated by availability, with dinner and breakfast included.

Day two brings a leather centre and a Turkish delight centre, lunch in Konya (optional), and a return to the coast between 19:00 and 21:00. Throughout, the group follows the programme arranged by our licensed guide. Details: the itinerary.

What else is there to book from this part of the coast?

Shorter trips are easy to add before or after Cappadocia. For the Side and Manavgat side of your holiday, our sister site lists side-turkey.com's excursions from Side and Manavgat.

If the Alanya end is closer to your plans, the Alanya page covers the eastern resorts.

What does it cost from Okurcalar or Çenger?

€75 for adults and €40 for a child in the child-fare band, in euros, Turkish lira or US dollars on the day; see the price page for ages and extras.
