Overview

  • Afternoon flight to Cappadocia, so there is no early morning start
  • Two nights in Cappadocia, in a boutique hotel with a cave or stone room
  • Round-trip Istanbul to Cappadocia flights included
  • Airport transfers included in both Istanbul and Cappadocia
  • Two full days of touring with a licensed local guide, breakfasts and lunches included
  • Small group, maximum 14 people
  • Hot air balloon flight available as an optional extra on request

Cappadocia lies a long way from Istanbul, and reaching it can eat into a short trip. This tour solves that with round-trip flights, and it avoids the early start. You fly out in the afternoon and spend your first night in Cappadocia, then have two full days of touring with a licensed local guide, the north of the region on the second day and the south on the third. The tours are the same as on our 2-day package. The difference is the afternoon flight and the extra night.

  • Ortahisar Castle panorama, the second highest castle in Cappadocia, once a watchtower
  • Goreme Open Air Museum, cave churches with thousand-year-old wall paintings (ticket included)

Is the hot-air balloon ride included?
The balloon flight isn't part of the standard tour price, but we can arrange it as an optional extra. It takes place at sunrise on your second morning, before the day's tour begins. As you spend one night in Cappadocia, there is one chance to fly. Flights depend on the weather and are cleared each morning by the civil aviation authority, so if that morning is cancelled, it cannot be moved to another day on this tour and you receive a full refund. If the balloon matters to you, our 3-day version gives you two mornings.
How much luggage can I bring?
The domestic flights allow 8 kg of cabin baggage and 15 kg of checked baggage per person, 23 kg in total. If you are travelling with more, we recommend leaving the rest at your Istanbul hotel.
What is the difference between this tour and the 2-day version?
The tours and stops are the same. On this version you fly to Cappadocia in the afternoon instead of at dawn, so there is no 04:00 pick-up, and you spend two nights in Cappadocia instead of one. The extra night also gives you two mornings for an optional balloon flight, which helps if the first is cancelled for weather.
