Sapadere Canyon from Kumköy

Kumköy on the route

The coach collects the coast from west to east, and Kumköy comes fourth: after Gündoğdu, Çolaklı and Evrenseki, before Side town. The operator's typical pickup time here is around 08:45; it is printed as typical because your minute depends on the day's hotels and is confirmed the evening before. From Kumköy the coach continues through Side and the eastern resorts before the long run to the canyon — about 110 km.

Pickup in Kumköy

The directory for Kumköy holds 32 hotels — the large beachfront resorts along the Kumköy strip and the hotels behind the coast road. Be at the main entrance a few minutes before your confirmed time; the coach carries a full route of guests and does not wait long. A hotel not in the directory is collected all the same — type it into the form.

What the day is from here

About 8 hours from pickup to drop-off on the tour from Side: the coast road east with a comfort stop, the canyon walkway and the falls, the optional Cüceler Cave, lunch in the Alanya region, and the drive back to Kumköy in the afternoon. The canyon entrance ticket is paid at the gate; lunch, guide, transfer and insurance are in the €35.

Kumköy questions

Guests here ask whether Kumköy's early-ish time means a long wait for the eastern pickups. The coach fills the coast in one pass — Side, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç, Kızılot — and then leaves; the western resorts ride the coast, the eastern ones join it. Bring breakfast money for the rest stop if you left before the hotel opened its buffet.

Kumköy on a Wednesday or Sunday: book the tour from Side, be at the door around 08:45.
