Itinerary

Discover Cappadocia on a 2-day tour from Istanbul that includes round-trip flights and an overnight stay at a boutique hotel. See the fascinating Göreme Open Air Museum, watch a pottery demonstration, and marvel at the dainty Urgup fairy chimneys. Day 1Begin with a pre-dawn pickup at your Istanbul hotel and head to the airport for an early flight to Cappadocia. After landing in Cappadocia, drive to your boutique hotel before beginning your tour of Cappadocia. First, stop at the Uçhisar Castle viewpoint for 360-degree views of the valleys below. Spot Mt. Erciyes and the eerie cave dwellings in Uchisar Valley. Continue to the famous Göreme Open Air Museum to visit the ancient villages and monasteries cut into the rock itself. Next, head to the rock city of Love Valley, and explore the fascinating buildings built into the rock. Stop in Avonos for lunch (included) before watching the experts at work at a pottery demonstration. Drive by the delicate fairy chimneys made of rock in PaşabağıValley before turning into Devrent Valley. Finish your day with a visit to Urgup to see its fairy chimneys and to visit a carpet factory before spending the night in your hotel. Day 2 Start your day before dawn with a pickup from your hotel to your hot-air balloon experience. Board a hot-air balloon and marvel at the valleys and rock formations below as the sun rises. Around 8:00 A.M., return to your hotel for a break before heading out for your day tour.

Staying at Hira Cave Hotel was an exceptional experience that truly enhanced our visit to Cappadocia. The hotel’s location offers breathtaking views, especially at sunrise with hot air balloons fillin (Read More)g the sky—a sight we’ll never forget. The rooms are a perfect blend of modern comfort and authentic cave living, making our stay both unique and luxurious. The staff were incredibly welcoming and went above and beyond to make us feel at home. The rooftop terrace and delicious breakfast were highlights of our stay. We also appreciated the hotel’s attention to detail, from the amenities in the room to the warm hospitality. For future travelers, I recommend booking hot air balloon rides in advance and confirming parking with the hotel, as it can be limited. Don’t miss the opportunity to explore local dining options nearby. Hira Cave Hotel is more than just a place to stay—it’s an experience that adds to the magic of Cappadocia, We can’t wait to return.

Overall, I had an amazing time. Will definitely return to Cappadocia! Our guide Cevdet was extremely generous with the information that he shared with us, and so funny in a wholesome way. I highly rec (Read More)ommend him. My hotel was very clean, safe, the owner and staff very helpful and kind. I had expected to stay in a cave hotel as mentioned in the package, but it wasn't the case. Still Alaturca House was nice. Transport for Green Tour was very comfortable, but the transport for the Red Tour was rather cramped.
