Cappadocia Resorts & Tours

Cappadocia is a region in central Turkey known for its fairy chimneys, rock-cut churches, underground cities and the hot air balloons that rise over its valleys at sunrise. Most visitors stay in cave hotels carved into the soft volcanic rock in Göreme, Uçhisar and Ürgüp, with quieter options in Ortahisar, Mustafapaşa and Avanos.

Most travelers fly into Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV), about 40 minutes from Göreme, or Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR), about 1 hour to 1 hour 15 minutes away, both with flights from Istanbul. The local currency is the Turkish lira. Spring (April to June) and autumn (September to November) bring mild weather, summers are hot and dry, and winters are cold, often with snow. Balloon flights run all year but are often canceled in strong wind.
