3 Day Istanbul to Cappadocia Tour

If you’re not sure which tour to take, we recommend the 3-day Istanbul to Cappadocia tour because it covers all the highlights of Cappadocia.

It takes you to the most iconic valleys and includes an ATV Tour of Red and Rose Valley , a guided tour of Derinkuyu Underground City , a tour of Goreme Open Air Museum , a hike through Ihlara Valley , and of course, a Hot Air Balloon ride .

This tour is for those wanting to experience all the best of Cappadocia and only have a short amount of time.

How To Pick Which Tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia Is Right For You?

Before we dive straight in and tell you the best tours, let’s quickly cover how you can pick the right tour for you. 

Each of these tours are very different and unique from the other, so it’s important to think about what you want to get out of your experience before you book.

Are you looking to do hot air balloon rides?

Hot-Air-Balloon-Tours-Cappadocia-Turkey

Hot air balloon rides are one of the main reasons to visit Cappadocia and are truly an unforgettable experience. 

There is something so magical about taking to the skies with hundreds of other hot air balloons and watching the sun rise over the unique rocky landscape below.

But there is only one catch, and that’s hot air balloon flights don’t fly every day. This is because they cannot fly if the weather conditions are too windy.

If you desperately want to do a hot air balloon ride, you will need to look at tours that have at least 2 days in Cappadocia.

On the 2-day tour, a hot air balloon ride is sometimes included, but you only have one day to take the flight, so if the weather conditions are not right, you will miss out.

However on a 3 day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia, if are unable to do the flight on the first day, you can try again on the second. If you really want to do the hot air balloon flight, then we recommend you look for tours that are at least 3 day s.

If you can’t do the hot air balloon flight, the tour company will refund you for the price of this.

How much hiking do you want to do?

Visit-Rose-Valley

Another thing Cappadocia is famous for is hiking. While the valleys are not steep nor the hikes strenuous, many of the hiking trails are long. 

The entire Red and Rose Valley hike is about 7.7km, and the Ihlara Valley Hike is another 10km, so if you plan to do both (especially in one day), you will have some aching legs at the end of it.

On top of the hikes, the tours also have a lot of walking at each stop.

There is also some level of scrambling when visiting the underground cities, and you should be prepared for a long climb up to the top of Uchisar Castle.

If walking is a problem for you, you will probably want to consider a 1 or 2 day tour. 

How much time do you have?

Of course, we are not all blessed with time, so the tour you pick will largely depend on how much time you have to spare.

If time is at your disposal, we recommend you spend at least 3 days in Cappadocia.

This is the minimum number of days you need to see the highlights, although you are going to rush through it!

Do you mind rushing?

The tours are usually designed to show you as much as possible in as little time. The average amount of time you spend at each stop on an organized tour is roughly an hour. 

If you don’t like rushing, then you might want to look at the 4+ day tours, which usually have a more flexible itinerary, plus free time on the first and last day, and some downtime in-between activities.

This way you can do some of the other things you want to do in Cappadocia that might not be included on the tour – say, a Turkish Hamam?

Do you want a guide for Istanbul first?

Sultanahmet-Istanbul-Mosque

Most tours from Istanbul to Cappadocia go straight to Cappadocia, especially if they are between 1-3 days. However, if you have just landed in Istanbul and haven’t seen the city yet, then you might want to cast your eyes at the 5 and 6-day tours, which have 1-2 days in Istanbul first.

Regardless of which tour you choose, you can expect to spend at least 3 days in Cappadocia , with the rest of the time spent in Istanbul or traveling.

The Best Tours from Istanbul to Cappadocia

Now if you’re thinking this all sounds excellent and you know what you’re looking for, then it’s time to show you the best tours to Cappadocia from Istanbul!

Go take a look…

1 Day Tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia

You might be thinking, “hold up, isn’t Cappadocia 720km away?”

Yes, it is!

And because Cappadocia is an unmissable stop on any Turkey itinerary , you can find direct flights throughout the day – including very early in the morning and late at night, making it totally possible to visit for one day.

On a one day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia, you will be woken up at the crack of dawn.

This small-group tour starts at 5.30 am, where you are then picked up from your hotel by private transfer, and taken to Istanbul Airport. 

You will then take a short flight to Kayseri International Airport where you will meet your guide and driver for the day. You will have the luxury of an air-conditioned minivan, a blessing on a hot summers day!

Rose-Valley-Trek-Views

The first stop on the one-day tour is the beautiful Rose Valley .

We always say if you only have time for one valley in Cappadocia, make it this one.

Rose Valley is a stunning valley full of famous fairy chimneys (historic sandstone rock dwellings), cave churches, craggy rock pinnacles, orchards, and viewpoints.

As you wander around the valley, your guide will tell you about the history of the valley and how the cave dwellings were once used, as well as tell you about the formation of the valley such as how Rose Valley gets its name. 

You will then head to the old village of Cavusin where you’ll find the Basilica of St John the Baptist, a huge structure that sits on a cliff top overlooking Cavusin.

Here you will have lunch at one of Cappadocia’s finest restaurants, serving traditional food, before heading on to the next stop.

The next stop is the old town of Ortahisar, which is a vibrant town made up of cave dwellings and stone houses. You’ll visit the impressive Ortahisar Castle, a 295-foot-high Byzantine-era fortification, which offers panoramic views of the region below.

Kaymakli Underground City

After that, you’ll visit one of the most unique places in Cappadocia; the Kaymakli Underground City . 

During the 7th century BC (or so it is believed) the local Christians built a series of underground cities to hide from Byzantine invaders.

There are several underground cities in the region, but Kaymakli is believed to be the oldest.

Experts believe that it once housed 3,500 people, including all their livestock and belongings.

As you wander through the tunnels and caverns, your guide will tell you all about what life might have been like for these people and what we know about its history. 

The last stop is Pigeon Valley, which is so named because it was used by local people to house their pigeons.

As well as being a place of historical importance, it’s also beautiful and has more of those epic Cappadocian rock formations that make the region so famous.

After exploring Pigeon Valley , it’s time to head back to Istanbul.

Your driver will take you back to Kayseri Airport where you can catch your return flight. You’ll be picked up from the airport in Istanbul and taken back to your hotel.

  • If you only have one day to spend, it covers most of the highlights of Cappadocia
  • The tour price includes everything from transport, flights, entrance tickets, and your guide. The only thing not covered by the price is gratuities and the cost of your meal.

  • You only have a day in Cappadocia, so expect this to be a whistle-stop tour. You only get to spend an hour at most at each place, so you might feel it’s a little rushed.

2 Day Tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia

Personally, I think 2 days is the bare minimum amount of time you would need to spend in Cappadocia, and this 2-day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia covers all the highlights!

Including a hot air balloon ride.

This tour starts early with a pick-up from your hotel in Istanbul to catch an early morning flight to Kayseri International Airport. 

From here, you will be picked up by your guide and head straight to the Goreme Open Air Museum, one of the biggest open-air museums in Cappadocia.

This former cave city is a UNESCO World Heritage Site and sits in the Goreme Valley, and allows visitors to walk in the footsteps of settlers who lived here thousands of years ago.

You’ll see former homes, stables, kitchens, and wineries, as well as see Byzantine frescoes painted inside the cave churches.

Devrent Valley Camel Rock

After exploring the museum, you’ll head to Devrent Valley, where you can take photos of the animal-shaped rock formations that make this valley famous.

Then you will continue on to Pasabag Valley , also known as Monks Valley, where you’ll get to see more of the impressive Cappadocia landscape.

Next stop you’ll head to Avanos, a town known for its pottery, silk, wool, and carpet weaving trades. Here you will get to visit the pottery shops and see the masters at work.

After exploring the town, you’ll enjoy a traditional Turkish lunch, before heading to Goreme Panorama, which offers wonderful views of the Goreme National Park and the fairy chimneys.

Uchisar Castle

In the afternoon, you’ll head over to explore Uchisar Castle.

This is the highest point in Cappadocia and has unrivaled panoramic views extending over Pigeon Valley, White Valley, and Love Valley in the distance.

After Uchisar, you’ll be taken to your accommodation for the night; a special-class cave hotel.

Cappadocia-Hot-Air-Balloon-Ride

Wake up early on the second day to take flight in a hot air balloon. Soar above the valleys and watch the sunrise over the impressive rock formations.

Note: hot air balloon tours are subject to weather conditions, and in the event, the hot air balloons can’t fly, you will be refunded 75 Euro for the cost of the flight.

After the hot air balloon tour, it’s back to the hotel for breakfast, before heading out to explore Rose and Red Valley , two valleys famous for their pink and red hues.

Then, it’s on to the small village of Cavusin to see the famous St John the Baptist Church.

If you are undecided on which Cappadocia tour from Istanbul to take, then the 3 day tour is our number one pick. It covers all the highlights , allowing you to really get a feel for Cappadocia and see the major attractions.

If you have been looking at the red or green tour of Cappadocia , this tour essentially covers both of them, plus a hot air balloon flight, and an ATV tour.

ATV-Tours-Cappadocia-Turkey

At 4.00 pm, you’ll be taken out to Red Valley where you’ll embark on an ATV tour.

The sunset ATV tour is one of the top things to do in Cappadocia as it allows you to see the impressive rock formations of Red Valley without hiking.

As you feel the thrill of the ride, look out at the rocky landscape and see how the colors naturally change in the setting of sunlight.

After the ATV tour, you’ll be taken back to your hotel where you can enjoy a Turkish dinner on the terrace.

On the second day, you’ll wake up between 4.00 am and 5.00 am for a hot air balloon flight. Take to the skies to witness the enormity and beauty of the landscape from above, along with hundreds of other balloons, as the sun rises around you.

What to Bring on an Istanbul to Cappadocia Tour

Most of these tours are designed to be a getaway from Istanbul, so you don’t need to bring too much with you. 

If you are visiting for 1-3 days, you can leave your big suitcase in Istanbul, and pack a small carry-on bag. In fact, most 1-3 day tours will not book hold luggage for your flight, so you will need to pay extra to bring a suitcase.

Here’s what we suggest you bring:

  • Sturdy, comfortable shoes. Most of these tours involve some level of hiking or go to an underground city, which has a slippery, stone surface. Leave flip-flops at home.
  • Sunhat and sunscreen. It can get quite hot in the middle of the day, and because of the white rock, it reflects the sun and makes it feel stronger than usual.
  • Pack warm clothes. Contrary to the above, it can get cold at night, even when visiting in the summer. Bring warm clothes to wear in the evenings.
  • Bring cash. If you need to pay extra for entrance fees, you’ll need to pay this to your guide in cash. 
  • Camera, obviously.
  • Head scarf (for women) and modest clothing for Istanbul. You will need to have your knees, shoulders and, for women, your hair covered when entering mosques in Istanbul.
  • Bring extra cash for a tip. Tipping is not required but it’s customary to tip your guide and your driver if you have enjoyed your experience. The recommended tipping price is 10% of your tour value.

Final Thoughts on Tours from Istanbul to Cappadocia

Taking an organized tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia is the best way to relieve some stress from your vacation planning. It can also be a great way to see a lot of sites in a short amount of time.

Having the added benefit of a knowledgeable guide, also means you can learn about the sites you are seeing, as well as get information about the history and culture of the area.

Taking a tour means your entire Istanbul to Cappadocia itinerary is taken care of for you. As you can see from the tours in this guide, most of them include everything, from transport (including flights), accommodation, entrance tickets, the price of a guide, and sometimes even the price of a hot air balloon ride.

While tours usually do cost a bit more than doing it yourself, you do get the added benefit of a stress-free time.

And after all, who wants stress on vacation?

We took the 2 days tour by plane. Totally worth it. The tour operator planned it out very well with lots of information. The guide was very knowledgeable and friendly and we had enough time to spend our Cappadocia days on our own with shops and several other sights that we wanted to see. Would recommend to this Cappadocia day trip anyone as this place is a must see in the world and we had this chance while we were on Istanbul. We have no regrets that we had a 2 days escape to see this wonderful place.

Cappadocia is one of the top places you can’t miss when visiting Turkey. Its fairy chimneys, unique landscape, underground cities, and unforgettable hot air balloon ride at sunrise are on every traveler’s bucket list .

I visited Cappadocia for 4 days and traveled from Istanbul. So I know what a good tour should contain and look like.

I’ve picked the 9 best tours from Istanbul to Cappadocia for you. So read about my insights and opinion, and choose the right one.

My Top Pick 2-Day Tour To Cappadocia

best Cappadocia tours from Istanbul

This 2-day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia (without a hot air balloon) offers all the highlights.

It contains roundtrip flights from Istanbul, airport transfers , a stay in a luxury cave hotel , meals , Red Tour , & Blue Tour .

My Top Pick 3-Day Tour To Cappadocia

cappadocia day tour from istanbul

This 3-day tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia (without flights) gives you a full experience.

It includes airport transfers , a stay in a cave hotel , a hot air balloon ride , meals, Red Tour , and Green Tour .

Important Factors To Consider When Choosing A Tour From Istanbul To Cappadocia

When choosing the right tour of Cappadocia, I recommend considering a few factors . So here are my top tips for what to think of when booking a tour from Istanbul to Cappadocia:

  • list of things to do in Cappadocia
  • Red/Blue/Green Tour
  • number of days
  • hot air balloon experience
  • cave hotel accommodation
  • free time during the tour
  • transportation

List Of Things To Do In Cappadocia

The most important thing is to clearly define what exactly you expect from Cappadocia and what you want to see and do. Since you landed on my article, I’ve done the job for you and chosen tours from Istanbul to Cappadocia to show you the highlights.

I also visited the entire area and researched the best things to do in Cappadocia . I’ve also done many of them during my visit.

👉So read my article here and create your own list of things you want to experience in Cappadocia.

best cappadocia tours from istanbul me watching the hot air balloons

Red Tour/Blue Tour/Green Tour

The main thing to do in Cappadocia is to join organized tours : Red, Blue, and Green . Each tour offers different places and experiences. All of them together will show you the entire Cappadocia.

Each tour from Istanbul consists of the Red Tour (the first day), with the Blue Tour or the Green Tour on the second day.

So I recommend you first read about each tour and its offerings. And then choose whether you want to do the Blue or Green Tour . It’ll make the decision-making much easier and faster when booking your Cappadocia tour from Istanbul.

👉 Click on each tours to learn about what they offer: Red Tour , Blue Tour , and Green Tour .

Number Of Days

Another major thing is, of course, time . I haven’t included day trips from Istanbul to Cappadocia on this list just because I believe once you spend the money going to Cappadocia, you should get the most out of it .

Honestly, spending just a day in Cappadocia (including flights from and to Istanbul) doesn’t give you a lot of time to soak up the atmosphere of this place and do the best things. So I don’t recommend booking a 1-day tour to Cappadocia.

The optimal time to spend in Cappadocia is between 3 to 5 days . 2 days are also fine if the tour includes everything that’s on your bucket list.

👉 I don’t recommend booking a 1-day tour to Cappadocia as it’s not worth the money.

Hot Air Balloon Experience

One thing to consider when choosing the right tour to Cappadocia is the hot air balloon experience. Do you want to ride a hot air balloon for sure? Or do you want it to be an optional activity on your tour? Check with yourself and see how important it’s for you to have it on the itinerary.

👉 Click this link to learn more about the hot air balloon experience and what to expect.

Cave Hotel Accommodation

All of the tours below include a hotel stay. My tip is to book the tour that includes a cave hotel . It’s one of the experiences you can’t miss in Cappadocia .

Many tours offer a stay in a beautiful cave hotel, and the price is similar to other tours that offer just a regular hotel room. So consider it: sleeping in a cave hotel in Cappadocia is an unforgettable experience .

👉 READ ALSO: Where To Stay In Cappadocia: Best Areas & Hotels

Free Time During The Tour

Once you have your list of things to do in Cappadocia and have chosen a tour, think about your free time. Does it give you extra time to explore more things on your own?

Usually, the 2-day tours are packed and don’t have extra free time . So, if you want to do even more activities that your tour won’t include, opt for a 3-day tour from Istanbul.

👉 Check out my list of the top activities in Cappadocia to see what else you can do besides the three main tours (Red/Blue/Green).

Transportation

Last but not least, think about how you want to get to Cappadocia .

The fastest and most convenient way is to fly from Istanbul to Nevsehir (the main city in Cappadocia). And most of the tours in this list have flights included.

But taking an overnight bus from Istanbul is a unique experience , too. So, just in case you want to experience a Turkish bus ride and stop at several bazaars, I’ve also included a Cappadocia tour from Istanbul by bus.

Some tours end in Cappadocia , and some offer a return trip to Istanbul.

👉 Consider whether you want to stay in Cappadocia or have return transportation to Istanbul included in the tour.

2-Day Cappadocia Tours From Istanbul

We’ll start with 2 days tours to Cappadocia from Istanbul. I’ve selected three different packages based on the things and activities they offer, accommodation options, and hot air balloon rides. Almost all of them include domestic flights to Cappadocia.

1. 2-Day All Inclusive Cappadocia Tour From Istanbul

This 2-day all-inclusive tour to Cappadocia includes the main highlights . You’ll hike through the top valleys like Rose, Red , and the Pigeon Valley .

A professional guide will walk you through Goreme and its open-air museum , so you’ll learn a lot about the history. You’ll also visit famous underground cities , eat traditional food (Testi Kebab), and have some spare time for extra activities.

You’ll also stay in a traditional cave hotel , which is amazing.

The tour doesn’t include a hot air balloon ride is optional . So you’ll have to pay extra for the balloon experience if you want to.

What’s Included:

✅ roundtrip domestic flights ✅ airport transfers ✅ Red Tour (all sights) ✅ Blue Tour (all sights) ✅ stay in a cave hotel ✅ professional guide ✅ museum tickets ✅ 2x lunch ✅ 1x breakfast

What’s Not Included:

❌ hot air balloon – optional to add ❌ drinks & dinner ❌ tips for your guide (optional)

Why To Choose This Tour?

What I like about this tour is that the hot air balloon ride is optional. It’s not included in the price of the tour. But it gives you a lot of flexibility .

If the weather is bad and hot air balloons don’t fly, you don’t have to deal with refunds or money losses. But if the weather is great and you decide to do the hot air balloon ride on the spot .

This tour also includes airport transfers in Istanbul , which many other tours don’t.

2. 2-Day Cappadocia Tour With A Cave Hotel

With this 2-day tour , you’ll follow the highlights of the Red Tour on the first day. You’ll enjoy stunning views of Göreme from the panorama point. After, you’ll visit the Devrent Valley with its rocks in the shape of animals. Then, you’ll explore the Monk Valley before visiting Avanos and its famous pottery workshop . Enjoy a delicious lunch , and after, visit the stunning Uschisar Castle .

On the second day, you’ll follow the Blue Tour by hiking between the gorgeous Red and Rose Valley . You’ll visit an underground city , Cavushin , and the famous Pigeon Valley .

Flights from Istanbul to Cappadocia, baggage (15kg bag per person), and all airport transfers are included in the price.

The only disadvantage of this tour is that it doesn’t include a hot air balloon ride . Yet, I believe you can book it in early in the morning on the second day if you want to.

✅ roundtrip domestic flights with baggage ✅ airport transfers ✅ cave hotel stay ✅ Red Tour (all sights) ✅ Blue Tour (all sights) ✅ 1x breakfast ✅ 2x lunch ✅ professional guide

❌ hot air balloon ride ❌ drinks & dinner ❌ entrance fees to the sights ❌ tips for your guide (optional)

Why To Choose This Tour

This tour offers the most things in Cappadocia from this list. It also has a special-class cave hotel stay , which is awesome.

The only thing it doesn’t offer is the hot air balloon ride . But you could still do it on the second day if you wanted to. Everything is possible.

3. 2-Day Cappadocia Tour With Hot Air Balloon & Cave Hotel

This 2-day Cappadocia tour from Istanbul with a hot air balloon and a cave hotel stay is perfect for those who want to have the one-package experience and e xperience almost all the highlights of Cappadocia. It already has the top 2 things from the bucket list (hot air balloon ride and cave hotel).

In addition, this tour will show you some spots included in the Red Tour , such as Göreme Viewpoint and Göreme Open Air Museum, take you to a pottery class, and the Devrent Valley.

On the second day, it’ll guide you through the famous sights of the Green Tour . These include the Pigeon Valley, Uschisar, Kaimakli underground city, and Ihlara Canyon.

A disadvantage of this tour is that it doesn’t include flights from Istanbul to Cappadocia. But you can look for flights and find cheap deals by clicking this link .

One thing that this tour doesn’t have is the famous Rose and Love Valley . But you can add the hikes yourself in the evening after the organized program ends (e.g. on the 1. day).

✅ hot air balloon ride ✅ cave hotel stay ✅ airport transfers (Cappadocia) ✅ Red Tour (all sights) ✅ Green Tour (all sights) ✅ professional guide ✅ tickets to museums and sights ✅ 2x lunch ✅ 1x breakfast

❌ domestic flights from Istanbul ❌ dinner & drinks ❌ tips for your guide (optional)

This tour is fantastic because it checks off the main activities (a balloon ride and a cave hotel stay). And it’s affordable compared to other tours that don’t include these two things.

Just think about it: a hot air balloon ride alone costs between $150 and $200. So this tour has a great price vs. program balance . It also covers highlights from the Green Tour (my favorite tour in Cappadocia).

The only disadvantage is that it doesn’t include airport transfers in Istanbul (only in Cappadocia). And it doesn’t have flights to Cappadocia either. But it’s great for those who already have flights purchased or want to start their tour in Nevsehir, Cappadocia (not in Istanbul).

4. 2-Day Cappadocia Tour From Istanbul By Bus

I also have something extra for you if you want to experience an overnight bus ride to Cappadocia instead of flying there.

I took the overnight bus, and it was, indeed, a great experience . The bus has comfortable seats, some serve drinks, and you’ll stop at Turkish bazaars several times.

This bus tour to Cappadocia includes program for 2 full days . You’ll do the famous Red Tour on the first day and the Blue Tour on the second day . It also includes a stay in a boutique cave hotel , all entrance fees, lunch, and a professional guide.

The tour doesn’t include a transfer back to Istanbul , nor a hot air balloon ride .

✅ overnight bus to Cappadocia ✅ stay in a cave hotel ✅ Red Tour (all sights) ✅ Blue Tour (all sights) ✅ meals ✅ professional guide

❌ drinks ❌ return ticket to Istanbul ❌ tips for your guide

This tour is perfect if you want to experience an overnight bus ride to Cappadocia instead of flying there. It’s also great if you want to finish your tour in Cappadocia and keep exploring other places in Turkey (like Pamukkale or southern beaches ) rather than getting back to Istanbul.

The only disadvantage is that it doesn’t have a hot air balloon ride , but you can always add it and do it yourself before the tour program starts.

3-Day Tours From Istanbul To Cappadocia

If 2 days sounds like too little time for you in Cappadocia, I have some tours for 3 days. These three tours cover even more than the ones above, including extra special activities you’ll love.

They’ll also give you extra free time so you can do things that are left on your Cappadocia bucket list, which I love.

Almost all of the following tours include domestic flights . So let’s get to the best 3-day tours from Istanbul to Cappadocia.

5. 3-Day Cappadocia Tour With Hot Air Balloon

This all-inclusive 3-day tour is amazing as it includes almost all the highlights that Cappadocia has to offer. Your flights and transfers are included, and you’ll see the Red Tour and Green Tour sights .

One early morning, you’ll experience the breathtaking hot air balloon ride . What is special about this tour is that it offers the ATV tour at sunset after you arrive in Cappadocia, which no other tour on this list has.

It only doesn’t have a stay in a traditional cave hotel . Yet, you’ll sleep in a beautiful boutique hotel with rooms in the style of a cave .

✅ hot air balloon ride ✅ ATV (quadbike) sunset tour ✅ roundtrip flights to Cappadocia ✅ airport transfers ✅ Red Tour (all sights) ✅ Green Tour (all sights) ✅ 2-night stay in a boutique hotel ✅ professional guide ✅ 2x breakfast ✅ 2x lunch ✅ all entrance fees

❌ drinks & dinner ❌ tips for your guide (optional)

This tour is for you if you want to ultimately skip planning and want to have everything organized for you. With this tour, you’ll experience the top sights, and everything is included, so you don’t have to think about anything .

It might be slightly pricier, but it takes the stress out of you as the organizer will take care of everything for you.

6. 3-Day Cappadocia Tour With Cave Suite

This 3-day Cappadocia tour contains a one-way flight ticket to Cappadocia and a stay in a beautiful cave hotel . You’ll do the two famous tours: the Red Tour and the Blue Tour . The only thing not included is the flight back to Istanbul and hot air balloons .

Yet, it can be perfect for those who don’t want to return to Istanbul . Perhaps you want to continue touring Turkey and visit the southern beaches around Antalya or take a bus to the cotton castle of Pamukkale .

You’ll arrive in Cappadocia on the first day and stay in a cave suite . So I recommend adding an extra activity you can do in the evening yourself such as horse riding , camel riding , or this ATV Tour .

On the second day , a professional guide will take you to the sights covered in the Red Tour . You’ll see Goreme and its Open Air Museum, Uschisar, experience a pottery workshop, and see the Red River.

On the third day , you’ll hike between the two stunning valleys: Rose Valley and Red Valley . Afterward, you’ll see the beautiful Cavusin village, Kaymakli underground city, Pigeon Valley, and Ortshisar Castle.

PRO TIP: You can add a hot air balloon ride on the 2nd or 3rd day before your program starts.

✅ one-way flight ticket to Cappadocia ✅ airport transfer ✅ Red Tour (all sights) ✅ Blue Tour (all sights) ✅ 2-night stay in Cave Suite Hotel ✅ 2x breakfast ✅ 2x lunch ✅ professional guide

❌ return flight to Istanbul ❌ dinner ❌ tips for your guide (optional)

This tour is suitable for you if you don’t want to return to Istanbul but want to continue visiting other places in Turkey from Cappadocia (such as Antalya and Pamukkale). It’s perfect because it includes all the highlights , including a stay in a cave hotel .

The only drawback is that it comes without the hot air balloon ride . But you can organize it early on day 2 or 3 before the official program starts.

7. 3-Day Cappadocia With Hot Air Balloon (With A Champagne) & Cave Hotel

This 3-day Cappadocia tour includes the famous hot air balloon with champagne at the end, the Red Tour and the Green Tour sights, and a cave hotel stay .

On the second day , your guide on the Red Tour will take you to Göreme Viewpoint and explain how the unique landscape was formed. After, you’ll take a pottery class in Avanos and visit the stunning Uschisar with its castle.

On the third day , you’ll tour the popular sights of the Green Tour . Visit the Pigeon Valley, underground cities, Ihlara Valley with traditional lunch, and Selime Monastery.

This tour is great as it shows you the highlights of Cappadocia and still leaves you space to do other activities on your own. I recommend visiting the Rose or the Love Valley on one of the evenings to get the most out of your stay.

It also includes a 2-night stay in a beautiful cave hotel . The airport transfer and entrance fees are included, too.

The tour doesn’t include flights to Cappadocia . So you’ll have to book these by yourself. Click this link to get the best flight deals to Cappadocia.

✅ hot air balloon ride with champagne ✅ 2-night stay in a luxury cave hotel ✅ airport transfers ✅ Red Tour (all sights) ✅ Green Tour (all sights) ✅ entrance tickets to museums and sights ✅ lunches ✅ 2x breakfast

❌ flights to Cappadocia ❌ dinners & drinks ❌ tips for your guide (optional)

Overall, this tour is fantastic if you’re already in Cappadocia and want a personalized and organized package for your stay. This is the perfect way to skip planning and see the highlights of Cappadocia.

I recommend adding extra activities after each day’s program, such as an ATV tour , Camel safari , horse riding , or hiking in The Love and Rose Valley.

8. 4-Day Cappadocia Tour From Istanbul

Now I have something extra for those of you who want to ultimately skip planning and visit the top 2 places in Turkey : Istanbul and Cappadocia .

On this 4-day tour , you’ll experience Istanbul in a day and Cappadocia in 3 days. It includes return domestic flights, airport transfers, stay in a cave hotel, and meals.

During the 2 full days in Cappadocia , you’ll see the highlights of the Red and Blue tours . And it also gives you extra time to do activities by yourself.

The only thing that is not included in this tour is the hot air balloon ride , which you can always add to your itinerary early in the morning.

So, if you only want to get to Istanbul from your country and have everything taken care of , this tour is a great package.

This tour is excellent for you if you dislike planning anything . The bonus is it also includes the highlights of Istanbul , but most of it is Cappadocia. And you’ll get to do it almost all in the area.

As I mentioned, the only drawback is that it doesn’t include a hot air balloon ride . But it gives you flexibility to choose whether to do it on the spot or not.

Practical Tips For Visiting Cappadocia From Istanbul

Here are some tips (from my experience) for your visit to Cappadocia. It’s important to know which time of the year is the best to visit and what you should pack . I’ve also included a list of things to do so you can plan extra activities for your free time and get the most out of Cappadocia. Check them out below.

Best Time To Visit Cappadocia

The best time to visit Cappadocia is during the shoulder season : April, May, September, October, and the beginning of November. It’s way less crowded throughout these months, and the temperatures are mild . It’s also a great time to go hiking in Cappadocia’s valleys and enjoy its breathtaking views.

Summer In Cappadocia

Summer months (June, July, and August) are often the most crowded , and the place is full of visitors. While it’s also a nice time to visit, it’ll be very hot , so prepare accordingly. July and August are also famous for the Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Festival . So prepare for the crowds.

Winter In Cappadocia

Winter in Cappadocia is a different experience. You can still do all the activities at other times of the year. But it gets cold . The temperatures range between 6°C and -5°C . It can also rain more often , so there is a higher chance that your hot air balloon ride will be canceled. Consider this when booking a tour.

How To Pack For Your Tour From Istanbul To Cappadocia

You can pack what you want for your visit to Cappadocia. But the most important thing is to pack warmer clothes such as a jumper, sweater, jacket, and long pants. It gets chilly in Cappadocia in the early mornings and late evenings.

You’ll be in the mountains, so the temperatures drop for the night. Especially if you want to do the hot air balloon ride , bring long-sleeve (warmer) clothes .

I also suggest packing hiking clothes to visit the famous valleys (Love, Rose, Pigeon Valley).

Otherwise, Cappadocia has no restrictions on what to wear , so pack what feels comfortable.

If you take one of these tours from Istanbul, this is about the luggage allowance for your flight . Pack accordingly so you don’t have to pay extra for oversized luggage.

Packing List For Your Cappadocia Tour

Here is a quick packing list for your trip to Cappadocia:

  • 1x jumper/sweater
  • 1-2x pants (long sleeve)
  • 1x hiking shoes
  • hiking poles (optional)
  • 1x sneakers
  • smaller backpack
  • swimming suit (just in case)
  • flipflops (optional)

Everything went smoothly from transfer from our Istanbul hotel until arrived back on the third day. Guide in Cappadocia was excellent. The only minor issue was the very poor buffet breakfast at the hotel- no beautiful Turkish bread just boring sliced white bread. Little fruit or western breakfast options like muesli. And basic automatic coffee machine not producing balanced coffees.

Day 1: Private Red Tour Cappadocia We will pick you up from your hotel and drive you to the airport for your domestic trip to Cappadocia.

Meet your experienced guide at Cappadocia Airport and begin your tour. The Private Cappadocia Red Tour begins at the Goreme Open Air Museum , which is often regarded as the most significant attraction in all of Cappadocia.

There are nine churches that are older than one thousand years that may be seen as part of the museum, which is housed in a large monastery complex. Since 1985, it has been recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and our guide will provide information on the history of the area as well as the museum.

After spending around one and a half hours at the location, we will go on a journey to Love Valley Panorama Point, where we will be able to see the Red and Rose Valleys from a vantage point that affords us a good view of the fairy chimneys.

After that, we will get in the car and go to the Pasabag Fairy Chimneys , which are often considered to be the most well-preserved fairy chimneys in the Cappadocia area. There are several fairy chimneys in Pasabag that have numerous heads, so the area is sometimes referred to as “Monks Valley.”

Our tour guide will explain to you background information on the creation of these fairy chimneys as well as the surrounding area. After the visit, we will get in the car and proceed to Avanos, where we will have lunch at a cozy little restaurant.

Following lunch, we will visit Avanos to see a demonstration of the kick-wheel pottery technique, which is an over 4,000-year-old art form inherited from the Hittites. After that, we will get in the car and go to Devrent Valley to check out the fairy chimney in the form of a camel.

There are various rock formations in the valley that appear like mushrooms, seals, fingers, and other things depending on your imagination. Because of this, the valley is also known as Imagination Valley. Following the conclusion of this visit, we will return you to your hotel at around 15:30 p.m. Overnight in Cappadocia, a special cave hotel.

Day 2: Private Green Tour Cappadocia Our tour guide and driver will come to pick you up from your hotel in Goreme or another town at 9:30 in the morning. From there, you will travel about 5 minutes to the Goreme Panorama Point, where you will get a view of Goreme Town and the valleys of Cappadocia from a higher viewpoint.

Our knowledgeable tour guide will brief you on the history of the area as well as its physical characteristics. The next destination is the Derinkuyu Underground City , which is Cappadocia’s largest underground city. In this particular underground city, you will descend to a depth of sixty meters below the earth’s surface, yet you will have access to all of the facilities that are often found in underground cities.

After that, we will start our journey to Ihlara Canyon , which is widely considered to be among the most beautiful canyons in all of Turkey. One of the most exciting parts of our tour is going to be walking the three kilometers that are involved.

During the route of our about one-hour-long hike into the canyon, we will pass many rock-cut Byzantine churches that have been decorated on the interior with frescoes. The trekking will come to an end at the town of Belisirma , which has a magnificent location along the river.

Following lunch, we will go on a 15-minute drive by car to the Selime Monastery , which is the biggest religious building in the surrounding region. As soon as we reach the top, we will have a view of the church, the cathedral, the kitchen, and the monastic dormitories.

After that, we will spend one hour and thirty minutes traveling back to the Uchisar region to view the Pigeon Valley Panorama.  After Cappadocia 2-Day Tour from Istanbul , drive back to the airport. Transfer back to the hotel after returning to Istanbul.
