How are pick-up times decided for Antalya tours? They depend on tour type and your hotel's region; the exact time is confirmed the day before by WhatsApp.
Hotel pick-up time for tours in the Antalya region depends on two things: the tour type and your hotel's region. A canyon tour leaves early, a sea tour a little later; farther regions are always picked up earlier. The logic is simple: the route to the last guest of the day is planned, and you're collected according to your place on that route.
Why Does It Vary by Region?
The vehicle for a given tour starts from the region farthest from the destination and collects other hotels as it gets closer. For example, a vehicle heading to Köprülü Canyon picks up a far region early and central Side later. So regions like Side, Sorgun, Çolaklı, Evrenseki, Kızılağaç, Gündoğdu, Kumköy have 5-15 minute differences.
