Cappadocia Tour from Evrenseki and Çolaklı: Two Villages, Two Pickups
Evrenseki and Çolaklı share a long sandy beach lined with big family resorts, yet they get slightly different answers to the first question everyone asks about the Cappadocia trip: what time will we be collected?
Short answer
Both villages are served on the Cappadocia 2-day tour, which runs on Tuesdays and Fridays with hotel transfers included. Evrenseki has an approximate pickup of 04:30; Çolaklı has no published figure, and its time is sent to you after booking. In both places you normally wait at your hotel's main entrance, and the confirmed minute is the one to follow.
When does the coach come to Evrenseki, and to Çolaklı?
Evrenseki sits at around 04:30 on the operator's list; Çolaklı has no time on record. Neither is a fixed appointment — each guest's minute is settled after the booking, according to the hotels on that night's run.
| Village | Approximate pickup | How you get your time |
|---|---|---|
| Evrenseki | 04:30 | Confirmed by message after booking |
| Çolaklı | Not published | Sent by message after booking |
The pickup page sets these beside the other coastal areas.
Why does Çolaklı only get its time after booking?
Because the operator has not given us a figure for it, and inventing one would be worse than leaving the cell empty. At that hour a guessed minute can mean a missed coach.
The coach does collect from Çolaklı all the same. Book as normal, and the exact time arrives with your confirmation; it is likely to sit close to the neighbouring resorts, but wait for the message rather than assume.
Where should we wait at a large beachfront resort?
At the main entrance, unless your message says otherwise. Resorts along this beach are often spread out, with a lobby set well back from the road and service gates elsewhere; the coach uses the entrance it can reach safely, and when the drive or the street in front is restricted you are given a designated pickup point nearby.
Walk there with a few minutes in hand. Luggage trolleys and sleepy children slow everyone down more than expected, and the coach has other hotels to reach.
How does the confirmation reach us, and what if it doesn't?
By phone or WhatsApp, after we have checked your hotel with the operator, in the language picked on the form. It contains the minute and the waiting place.
If the evening before departure arrives without it, call +90 536 603 75 84. Changing hotels between booking and travel? Send us the new name at once so the time can be reissued.
Is the trip manageable for a family staying here?
With planning, yes, though it is a long two days for small children. The night start, several hours on the coach each way and walking at the sights add up; the first-timer's guide is honest about what that feels like. Babies sit on a parent's lap and take no seat, and younger children have their own band on the fare.
Ask the resort for breakfast boxes a day ahead — all-inclusive kitchens can usually prepare them if requested in time — and bring snacks, a change of clothes and a blanket. The Underground City has narrow, low passages; tell the guide if someone would rather wait outside.
What does the tour cover on the two days?
Your transfers, the coach with a licensed guide, the Underground City entrance, one night in a 3- or 4-star hotel allocated by availability, dinner (drinks extra) and breakfast. The route takes in Pigeon Valley, the panorama at the foot of Uçhisar Castle and Love Valley, plus three shopping stops for onyx, leather and Turkish delight, where buying is optional.
The programme is planned for the whole group. Everyone stays together and follows the guide's arrangements, and the order of the day cannot be changed on request.
