Private 3 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul By Plane


Day 1 (Private Cappadocia Tour, lunch included)


With an early pick-up from your hotel around 05:00am , we will transfer you to Istanbul or Sabiha Gokcen Airport and have the flight to Cappadocia. Our driver will meet you at the airport and drive you to our office.


After some refreshment in our office, you will start touring in magical Cappadocia with the most important place in Cappadocia Region: Goreme Open Air Museum. The museum is listed as UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. You will see the best-preserved rock-cut churches in the area. The next visit will be in Cavusin where there were Greek and Turkish people living together until 1924. You will see an old Greek and Turkish Village which was inhabited until 1950’s and then moved by the government to a new place because of the falling rocks from the village. We will visit Pasabag (Monks Valley) which is also known as mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys. The fairy-chimneys in Pasabag are the best-protected ones in the area and it gives the best idea about the formation of a fairy-chimney.


We will have our lunch at a local restaurant in Avanos. After lunch, we will have the kick-wheel pottery demo which is an art for about 4000 years. Starting with the Hittites, this art became the most important cultural heritage of the town. The next visit will be to Zelve Open Air Museum. Your guide will inform you about the significance of Christianity and monastic life in Cappadocia. While Zelve may lack the richly adorned frescoes found at other Cappadocian sites, it features an intricate network of rooms and passages. The valley is also known for its many pointed "fairy chimneys," with stems that rise approximately 40 feet above the valley floor. The tour will conclude with a visit to Devrent Valley, a breathtaking landscape where natural rock formations take on various recognizable shapes, including the iconic camel-shaped rock. We will then return to your hotel at approximately 4:00 PM. Overnight accommodation in Goreme.


Day 2 (Private Cappadocia Tour, breakfast and lunch included)


Optional Hot Air Balloon Flight in the early morning can be a good start the day with sunrise.


This morning will start at 09:30 with a pick-up from your hotel in Goreme and drive about 5 minutes to the Goreme Panorama Point to see Goreme Town and valleys of Cappadocia from a higher point. Our guide will give you information about the history and geography of the region. The next visit will be after 40 minutes drive in Derinkuyu Underground City which is the deepest one in Cappadocia region. The underground city has all the amenities of a classical underground city, but in this one, you will reach 60 meters below the ground.


We will then visit one of the most spectacular canyons in Turkey: Ihlara Gorge. 3 km hike will be one of the highlights of our tour. We will hike through the canyon for about 1 hour along the river, passing by Byzantine rock-cut churches decorated with frescoes. We end the hiking portion of the tour near Belisirma village, where we will have lunch in a quaint riverside restaurant.


After lunch, we will drive about 15 minutes to climb up to Selime Monastery which is the biggest one in the region. We will see the monastery, kitchen, catedral and church sections after climbing there. Then, we will drive about 1,5 hours to get back to Uchisar area to see the traditional stone art demonstration and Pigeon Valley at the same place. The tour will end around 5:00pm and we will drive you back to the hotel. Overnight accommodation in Goreme.


Day 3 (Private Cappadocia Tour & Flight to Istanbul, breakfast and lunch included)


Our tour begins at 9:30am with a pickup from your hotel. First, we'll drive to Ortahisar Panorama Point(Lavanta Panorama) to take in the stunning views of Ortahisar Castle. Our guide will provide you with information about the history and geography of the region.


Next, we'll visit Mustafapasa (Sinasos in Greek), a former Greek village with beautiful architecture. This village was home to both Turkish and Greek people until the population exchange in 1924. You'll get to see some old Greek houses, an Ottoman madrasah, and an 19th-century church.


Following the visit in Mustafapasa, We'll drive to the Keslik Monastery, a lesser-known but equally interesting site to explore. This monastery is home to three churches of different ages that are worth checking out. The Church of Archangels is particularly notable, as it features impressive paintings depicting the life of Jesus & Mother Mary. Afterwards, we'll head to the Sobessos Excavation Site, where you can see the Roman bath, tombs, temple, and gorgeous mosaics that have been uncovered.


Then it's off to Soganli Valley, one of the most peaceful and secluded valleys in Cappadocia. We will first have our lunch at this beautiful valley. After lunch, we'll take a hike along one side of the valley, visiting some cave churches, and return along the other side of the valley to the old village. After the hike through the valley, we will drive back to the hotel. Our tour will conclude around 4:30-5:00pm with a drive back to the airport for the flight back to Istanbul. After you land at the airport, our driver will meet you there and drive you to your hotel in Istanbul.
