Departing from Göreme 

When you're ready to catch your bus at Göreme Bus Station, you'll have several transportation options available: 

Dolmuş: The primary mode of public transportation in Cappadocia is the dolmuş, a minivan that operates set routes throughout the region's towns and villages. These vehicles are predominantly used by locals, though tourists are encouraged to use them as well. In larger towns like Göreme, dolmuşes have dedicated departure points, often equipped with ticket offices and occasionally information centers. In smaller villages, they typically stop in the town center upon request. Dolmuşes offer an economical way to travel between major local attractions and the Göreme Bus Station , though service to more remote locations can be sparse.  

Taxis: For more direct travel, taxis are readily available. You can hail a taxi on the street or book one in advance through local services such as Goreme Taxi. For short trips, street-hailed taxis are suitable as drivers generally use the meter and fares are reasonable. Whether you choose the budget-friendly dolmuş or the convenience of a taxi, both options provide reliable and efficient means to reach the Göreme Bus Station and start your journey to Antalya.

Taxis provide a quick and comfortable way to get around, especially if you're traveling with luggage or in a group.
