Pirate Ship Day from Kumköy: Transfer and Tips
Kumköy is Side's immediate neighbour to the west, the next stop along the coast road before Evrenseki. Families staying here are collected for either pirate day without paying anything extra.
In short
Yes, both pirate days pick up in Kumköy, and the transfer costs nothing extra. Select Kumköy and your hotel when you book. We message you with the collection time on the day before the trip; no fixed time is printed because each hotel differs. A child from 2 pays €23 on the big day or €14 on Little Pirates.
Where Kumköy fits on the map
Read the belt from west to east and Kumköy comes fourth: Gündoğdu, Çolaklı, Evrenseki, then Kumköy, and then Side. So it borders Side on one side and Evrenseki on the other. Manavgat town is inland, along the river, rather than on this strip.
That position has no effect on the price. The same fare applies whether you sleep in Kumköy or at the far end of the belt, and the hotel transfer is part of it.
From your Kumköy hotel to the deck
When you book, the form asks for your area first; pick Kumköy, then find your hotel in the list it offers. Can't see it? Type the name, and we check with the operator before confirming anything.
On the day before the trip, a message from us gives you two things: the time to be ready and where at the hotel to stand. On the morning, an air-conditioned vehicle takes you to the departure point; for the big day that is the Side departure dock, where the ship casts off at 10:00. The return drive brings you to the same hotel.
Moving hotels during the holiday? Give us the hotel you will be in on the night before the trip.
Choosing a day when you are staying in Kumköy
Nothing about Kumköy tips the balance one way. Let the children's age and appetite for noise decide. The full comparison goes deeper, and the price page works through family totals.
| If your family wants… | Pirate-ship day | Little Pirates |
|---|---|---|
| Music, a show and foam | Yes: live show and foam party | Games and stories instead |
| Costumes for the children | Face painting | Pirate costumes handed out |
| Where the swim is | At the river delta | Clear water off the coast |
| Cost for a child | €23 | €14 |
A Kumköy checklist for the night before
- Watch your phone for our message with the collection time.
- Lay out swimwear to wear under the day clothes, so nobody has to change before the swim.
- Hats and high-SPF sunscreen for every member of the family.
- Euros in cash: the fare, plus a little for drinks and any photos.
- A camera or phone with space on it for the pirate pictures.
