Cappadocia Tour from Kumköy: Hotels and Apartments West of Side
Kumköy is the busy strip just west of Side's ancient town: beach hotels along the sand, apartment blocks and small hotels on the streets behind, bars that stay open late. Each of those details shapes how a two-day trip to Cappadocia starts.
Short answer
Yes — the Cappadocia 2-day tour collects from Kumköy every Tuesday and Friday, at about 04:35. That figure is approximate; your own minute and the place to wait are confirmed after booking. Hotels on the main roads are usually met at the front entrance, while guests in narrow side streets are given a nearby meeting point.
How early does the coach reach Kumköy?
Around 04:35, a few minutes after the resorts further west and shortly before the old town of Side. Treat it as a planning figure, not an appointment: the exact minute for your address depends on that night's list of hotels and is sent to you personally once your booking is in.
When the message comes, the time in it replaces the one on this page. Every coastal area is compared on the pickup times page.
Will the coach stop outside my hotel or apartment?
If a coach can pull in safely, yes — at the main entrance. Many hotels facing Kumköy's larger roads fall into that group. Behind them, though, are lanes lined with parked cars, one-way streets and apartment blocks without a forecourt, and a full-size vehicle cannot thread through those at night.
Guests staying there are given a convenient designated meeting point close by, at a spot the coach can reach. Its description arrives with your time, so you will know exactly which corner to walk to.
How do I check my exact pickup minute?
Watch your phone after booking: the operator's confirmation reaches you by phone call or WhatsApp in the language you chose, with the time and the waiting place together. Save it, and screenshot it in case your signal drops in the morning.
No message by the evening before departure? Call +90 536 603 75 84 and we follow it up. If you move to another hotel or flat before the trip, tell us straight away so a new time can be set.
Is a night out in Kumköy before the trip a bad idea?
Honestly, yes. A pickup at that hour turns a late evening into almost no sleep, and the first part of the journey is several hours of road. Eat early, pack your bag before dinner and save the bars for the night you come back.
You can doze on the coach, and most people do. A light layer, a small pillow and something to eat from the hotel make that easier; the first stop is a café where breakfast can be bought but is not part of the fare. The packing guide lists the rest.
What happens once the coach leaves the coast?
After the last pickups it climbs inland to the plateau, with breaks along the way, and the first sight is the Underground City, entrance already paid. The afternoon takes in Pigeon Valley, the outlook beneath Uçhisar Castle and Love Valley, with an onyx and sultanite centre on the way, before a night in a 3- or 4-star hotel allocated by availability, with dinner included and drinks extra.
Next morning there is breakfast at the hotel, then a leather showroom and a Turkish delight shop — shopping stops built into the programme, with no obligation to buy — and the long road home via Konya. Everyone keeps to the group and the guide's plan for both days.
When will we be back in Kumköy, and what about the next day?
You arrive back in the evening of the second day, normally in time for a late dinner. Because the journey home is long, keep the following day easy: a pool day, the beach, or a slow walk into Side's ancient town.

How do I book from Kumköy?
Fill in the booking form: the date, your hotel or apartment, the travellers and a phone number. If the building is not on the list, type its name and add the street in the notes — in Kumköy that detail decides whether you are met at the door or at a nearby point.
Nothing is paid online. You settle in euros, Turkish lira or US dollars during the trip, and free cancellation runs until 48 hours before departure.
