Fixed-price ride Melis Hotel to Pamukkale & Hierapolis: ~198 km, ~170 min from Yavansu. Free child seats, free cancellation 24 h.
A Pamukkale transfer from Melis Hotel means a fixed fare, a driver at your entrance, and 198 km of road in between.
How the road goes
Routing is the driver's job. From Melis Hotel the car follows the short hill road to the coastal highway, picks up the motorway, and runs non-stop to Pamukkale unless you want a break.
The route leaves Yavansu on the short hill road to the coastal highway and joins the main highway towards Pamukkale. Roughly 170 minutes end to end.

The Pamukkale end of the ride
The usual day: pickup around 08:00, at the terraces near 11:00, four to five hours inside, a lunch stop, back at the hotel around 19:00. Entrance fees are paid at the gate; transport is what we provide.
Your driver drops you at the entrance you choose, agrees the pickup point, and waits. Morning arrival, full afternoon window, home before dinner: that is the standard shape of the day, and the driver waits meanwhile.
When to leave
Morning pickup between 08:00 and 09:00 is the common choice: the drive each way is about 170 minutes, and an early arrival means cooler travertines. The day runs long and easy: roughly 170 minutes each way, several hours inside, and an optional lunch stop on the way back.
Pack swimwear if the antique pool tempts you; a midday dip breaks up the walking nicely. A 09:00 start trades the quietest hour for a later breakfast; either way you are back by early evening.
Practical notes
Two gates serve the site: south by the terraces, north near the necropolis. The travertine is wet and rough in places; slow steps beat speed on the calcium path.
The walk up the terraces runs about an hour at photo pace. The white surface is bright, so sunglasses and sunscreen matter even on mild days; a hat helps between terraces.
What it costs
Pricing is per vehicle and settled in EUR at booking. The driver takes cash in EUR, USD or TL; paying online by card works too. Cancellation is free up to a day ahead.
A single EUR fare covers the whole vehicle and up to seven passengers. Cash on the day or card online: both work, and nothing is prepaid. Cancellation is free until a day before the scheduled pickup.
Asked often
Can we get dropped in town on the way back?
Usually yes: the centre, a restaurant or the port works if arranged with the driver or office.
What is the cancellation policy?
Free cancellation until 24 hours before pickup. Inside that window, message us and we sort it case by case.
Can we add a stop like Sirince?
Yes. Sirince, the Temple of Artemis and restaurant stops are the usual extras; mention it at booking so the timing is planned.
