The 10 Best Day Trips from in Cappadocia, Turkey

November 7, 2021 Matilde Konrad

Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

Great experience. Both tours were very well arranged - our guides were knowledgable, flexible with nice sense of humor. Shared so much details around Cappadocia, ancient life, but also around the Turkish culture and life. Highly recommend Mehmed - he was amazing - stopped us in Nevşehir on the way back to get baklava. Loved this guy!

We took the Tour in Spanish and all I can say is that it was amazing!!! Ahmet (the guide) is such a respectful, patience, kind and friendly person. He explained very well to us the historical context of all the places. We started around 10 in the morning and finished at 4.30pm. All the places we visited were amazing (pictures are not fair)...we had time to take photos, to go to WC, to have lunch (it’s included in the price)..and just to enjoy the view... I seriously recommend this company and Ahmet!!! Thanks for everything, we had such a great time!! Spanish: Realmente recomiendo este tour, no es uno de los más turísticos de Cappadocia pero realmente vale la pena!!! Ahmet es un gran guía, muy atento, servicial y paciente, siempre dispuesto a ayudar. Los paisajes son increíbles, la ciudad subterránea es un MUST. Es una compañía seria! Lo recomiendo al 100%.

Wow! What can I say? The guide started with a van that picked me up from the hotel. Then it drove into the city center at the tour office, then enters this wonderful guide. Ellie (Elif) handed out water with enthusiasm and just a great energy one wants from a tour guide. She was professional, extremely courteous and informative. It was pretty cold out and she guided us from location to location while explaining and telling us about the history. We had a nice lunch after a nice walk down in the gorge/valley name that I cannot remember.... (I do remember not bringing my Canon camera 0_0) Again, highly recommend it! Worth the trip. Interesting places. Bring sneakers. Ellie's great! Driver's great. Van's comfortable.

We joined this tour with our great guide Oguz. He was very friendly and giving us all information regarding region. He gave us enough time to enjoy by ourselves while making those moments unforgettable. I wanted to buy special meat “pastırma” during tour and he organized a short stop together with our kind driver. I would definitely recommend this tour with Hereke Travel in Cappadocia! Thanks a lot for all Oguz!
