Sapadere Canyon from Çolaklı

Second on the route

The coach starts in Gündoğdu and reaches Çolaklı next, typically around 08:30. That early place on the route is the price of being in the west: the rest of the coast — Evrenseki, Kumköy, Side, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç, Kızılot — is still to be collected before the run east to the canyon, about 110 km from here. The time is the operator's typical figure; your minute is confirmed the evening before.

Pickup in Çolaklı

The directory for Çolaklı holds 24 hotels — large resorts along the beach road with long entrance drives. Be at the main gate, where the tour coaches stop, a few minutes before your confirmed time. Not in the list? Type your hotel into the form; the directory is a convenience, not a fence.

The day from Çolaklı

About 8 hours from pickup to drop-off on the tour from Side. The early start means the hotel breakfast may not be open — the comfort stop on the way out sells one. Then the walkway, the falls and the cold pools, the optional Cüceler Cave, lunch in the Alanya region and the drive back west. The canyon ticket is paid at the gate; everything else on the itinerary is in the €35.

Çolaklı questions

Çolaklı guests ask about breakfast most of all: with a typical pickup around 08:30, some hotels' buffets have only just opened. Eat what you can, and bring a few euros for the rest stop. They also ask whether the return is late — the drop-off is in the afternoon, the western resorts last on the way back, and it is a length of day rather than a clock time.

Set the alarm and book the tour from Side — Çolaklı around 08:30, Wednesdays and Sundays.
