Maps & Transport
       Pamukkale is 22 km. from Denizli city centre, 80 km from Denizli-Çardak airport, 223 km from Izmir Adnan Menderes airport, 230 km from Dalaman airport and 255 km from Antalya airport.
       The Denizli city bus station and railway station are opposite each other and 22 km from the hotel. There is minibus transport available from Denizli bus station every half hour during the day (ask for the Pamukkale bus and on boarding tell the driver you are going to the Richmond Hotel). Taxis are available around the clock (also from the bus station). We plan to have a conference desk at both Denizli Bus Station and Denizli-Çardak Airport to assist you.

By Air
       The closest airport to Denizli is called Denizli-Çardak. There are twice daily flights to/from Istanbul (Atatürk airport). A shuttle-bus service operated by Turkish Airlines transports passengers to and from Denizli city centre (for a small fee). Our conference desk in the airport will assist you. We would suggest for international delegates that the most convenient route is to fly into Istanbul (Atatürk airport), then get a connecting flight with Turkish Airlines to Denizli.
       Otherwise, Izmir is the best second choice of airport. A connecting bus to Denizli from Izmir will take around three hours. A bus from Antalya will take around four hours. There is normally no direct bus service from Dalaman airport. If you plan to come to Dalaman Airport, please let us know and we will enquire about bus connections available at that time on your behalf.

By Rail
       Denizli is connected by rail to Afyon, Izmir and Istanbul. However, we do not recommend travelling by rail as the service is relatively uncomfortable, slow and schedules are un-reliable. If you travel by rail, upon arrival, cross the road to the bus station where you can find a mini-bus service to Pamukkale and our conference desk. Details above.
