Pirate Ship Day from Titreyengöl: Getting Collected

East of Side, beyond Sorgun

Going east from Side, the belt runs Sorgun, then Titreyengöl, then Kızılağaç and finally Kızılot. West of Side are Kumköy, Evrenseki, Çolaklı and Gündoğdu. Manavgat town is inland on the river and is served too.

Titreyengöl is therefore on the opposite side of Side from the western resorts. That matters for nothing you pay: the fare and the included transfer are identical across the belt.

Your pickup from Titreyengöl, step by step

• Book online with Titreyengöl as the area and your hotel from the list; type the hotel name if it is not shown.
• Leave a phone number with WhatsApp if you can.
• On the eve of the trip, we send your pickup time and the meeting spot at the hotel.
• On the morning, the air-conditioned transfer takes you to the ship; on the big day the ship casts off at 10:00 from the Side departure dock.
• After the day, the same transfer brings you back to your hotel.

We never print a pickup clock time for Titreyengöl or anywhere else: it is set per hotel and confirmed the day before.

River delta or open coast: the swim decides

Families in Titreyengöl choose between the same two days as everyone else, and the swim is a good way to tell them apart. On the pirate-ship day the ship goes down the river to the delta, where the river's cold water pushes out into the salty, warm sea, and the whole family can swim in both at once. On Little Pirates the ship cruises along the coastline and stops for a swim in clear Mediterranean water.

Around the swim, the big day adds a live show, a chase after the pirate Ferhat and foam on deck; the small day adds costumes, stories and a treasure hunt. Our delta guide explains the river-meets-sea swim in more detail.

What to sort out the evening before

Charge the phone you gave us and keep notifications on. Pack one bag for the family with swimwear, a towel each, hats and high-SPF sunscreen, and a spare set of clothes for the smallest swimmers.

Set the fare aside in euros, in cash, and add a little for drinks, which are never in the fare. If you think you might miss the pickup, tell us that evening rather than in the morning. Our what-to-bring list covers the rest.
