Top 7 Things To Do in Cappadocia

A place like no other, Cappadocia will captivate you with it's incredibly bizarre, yet beautiful landscape. This semi-arid region in central Turkey offers fascinating history, museums, palaces, beaches, and white cliff waterfalls -- the best of everything you'd want on a holiday!

Goreme Open Air Museum

Goreme Open Air Museum

This is a must-see wonderland with rock-cut churches and vibrant frescoes.  A former Byzantine monastic settlement that housed some 20 monks, it's a UNESCO World Heritage Site. 

Kaymakli Underground City

Houses were built around nearly 100 tunnels of this underground city. This gerbil-like metropolis of tunnels was excavated as early as Hittite times -- and four floors remain open for exploring. 

Devrent Valley

Otherwise known as 'Imagination Valley', this is astoundingly absurd and mesmerizing valley contains a variety of rock formations shaped like animals, all naturally created by nature. Enter the rock formed zoo!

Ihlara Valley

Ihlara Valley

This canyon was formed thousands of years ago, and flows the 7-mile distance from Ihlara village to Selime village. Walk along the gushing water past the vineyards, poplars, and pistachio trees.

Pasabag

Now we enter monks valley on the road to Zelve, and the dream continues with pillars made of earth standing tall in the middle of the vineyard, which stylites and hermits once used to hide inside.

Topdeck Cave Restaurant

One of Cappadocia's top rated restaurants, this cave eatery in Goreme is worth a visit. All ingredients used are from local farmers, but there's just 10 tables, so don't delay!

Our insider tips

Terrorist attacks have happened in Turkey. Is it safe to go there?

Millions of foreigners visit Turkey every year and most visits are trouble-free. Sirnak, Mardin, Sanliurfa, Gaziantep, Kilis, and Hatay provinces are the places advised to avoid.

Do I have to be careful about how I dress in a country with many Muslim people?

Tourists should respect religious customs, particularly during the month of Ramadan. Dress modestly when visiting mosques or religious shrines.

What people are saying about Cappadocia

Most incredible experience, stunning views of mother nature's power.

It has been a long held wish of mine to visit the awe inspiring Cappadocia Region. I was certainly not disappointed it was mind blowing to see how mother nature had designed these wonderful sights. The balloon ride was the best experience ever, joined with hundreds of them in the sky, creating the most magical sunrise experience. The gentle landing of the balloon perfectly on the back of a trailer was amazing feat of pilot skill. We were very lucky that the weather was good that day, the following few days the wind was not favourable and all balloon rides were cancelled making the experience for us even more of a wonderful memory and blessing. It was the greatest buzz you could wish for. Highly recommend .

Terrific choice for a day tour of Cappadocia when time is limited

We couldn’t have asked for a better private tour, what with an entire 15 seater van available just to yourself (family of four). We got to set our own pace and yet, were able to cover everything on the must see list. Thanks to Iyan (sp?), our guide who was very friendly and well informed, we didn’t feel like we missed anything even with the limited time we had. An overnight stay at one of the cave hotels is perhaps the only thing we wished we had done.

An amazing experience, extremely well organised, worth every penny.

I don't know where to start! Everything was extremely well organised. Everyone was very polite, always on time and very pleasant to be with. The local guides were very knowledgeable (and I am an art historian), friendly, polite, genuine. I am a woman in her 60s, I travel solo and never felt lonely or scared. I met wonderful people who shared the same tours. I could not recommend this tour enough. An amazing cultural and human experience.

Nice tour to see a different part of Cappadocia

Nice tour to discover the Southern part of Cappadocia. Our guide even included a visit to the salt lake. Lunch was alright, nothing special. I could have done without the visit to the jewelry and Turkish delight store but other people but have liked it. Our guide was very friendly and informative!
