Pirate Ship Day from Çolaklı: Pickup and Which Day
Çolaklı is on the western stretch of the belt, west of Side, with Gündoğdu on its far side and Evrenseki on its near side. Both pirate days include the hotel run from here.
In short
Çolaklı is part of the operator's Side belt, so the hotel run is included on the pirate-ship day and on Little Pirates alike. Book with Çolaklı and your hotel; your collection time arrives a day ahead, in a WhatsApp message or a call. If your children are past the costume stage, the big day at €23 a head is the closer match.
Çolaklı, second from the west
Only Gündoğdu lies further west than Çolaklı in the operator's belt. Heading east from here you pass Evrenseki and Kumköy before reaching Side, then Sorgun, Titreyengöl, Kızılağaç and Kızılot. Manavgat town is the one stop away from the coast, upriver.
Whatever the order on the map, the fare is the same everywhere in the belt and the transfer is in it.
How Çolaklı guests are collected
The pickup is arranged hotel by hotel. In the booking form you choose Çolaklı, and the list of hotels in this area appears; tap yours. If it does not appear, type it and we confirm it with the operator before your booking stands.
Ahead of the trip we get in touch, usually on WhatsApp, with your collection time and where to wait. An air-conditioned vehicle takes the family to the ship and, after the day, back to the same door. For the big day, transfers are timed around the ship's departure from the Side departure dock at 10:00; we never quote a hotel clock time in advance.
Teenagers, toddlers or both?
Çolaklı itself does not settle which day to take; who is in the family does. Children approaching their teens, who might roll their eyes at a costume, are better matched with the pirate-ship day: the trip down the river, the swim at the delta, the tug-of-war, the live show and a foam party with music and Halay dancing.
Toddlers and children who still live in their dressing-up box will be happier on Little Pirates, where every child gets a pirate costume and a treasure hunt runs around the deck. With both ages along, read our comparison before choosing; babies under 2 are free either way.
Getting ready in Çolaklı the night before
Look out for our message and reply so we know it reached you. If the children are sharing a room, lay out their swimwear, hats and towels where they will find them first thing. The sun protection the operator asks for is high-SPF sunscreen and hats for everyone.
Keep the fare in euros, in cash, apart from your spending money. On the big day every drink comes from the bar on board and is paid separately; the professional photos are extra too. The extras guide lists what may cost something on the day.
