Our
Comments and
Suggestions
Cappadocia
is a fantastic and unique area in Central Anatolia.
There are daily flight connections from Istanbul to
Kayseri, 45 min. drive from the heart of Cappadocia.
Once
in Cappadocia, you should treat yourself staying in a
"Cave" boutique hotel, such as the
Museum Hotel, entirely
hewn out of the rock and offering the best amenities in
a secular structure.
Your
stay should be a minimum of 3 days, which would allow
you to tour the area for 2 days, and enjoy a day
wandering into the valleys, and the traditional
villages. You
can also enjoy some hot air ballooning at sunrise. This
is an amazing experience.
In
the evening, you can view some whirling dervishes
ceremony performed in an authentic
caravanserai or enjoy
a traditional dinner accompanied by a folklore and belli
dance show.
We
aim to show you this area, which is our native area, off
the beaten tracks, and we can arrange you to share a
lunch with a family in their village home, to hike the
valley to discover hidden churches, or to share with you
the secret of our chefs through entertaining cooking
course and local market shopping. Cappadocia
will be for sure, the “once in a lifetime experience”,
and the highlight of your Turkish journey.
