Cappadocia Dinner in the Valley: Open-Air Turkish Dining

KTLY022721 · Cappadocia

About this tour

Dinner in the valley is an evening out among Cappadocia's fairy chimneys, the tall rock cones the region is known for. You'll sit down to a multi-course Turkish meal outdoors, from mezes to grilled mains, with rustic decor and lantern light setting the scene as the sky darkens. Many evenings include live cultural performances, and round-trip transfers from your Cappadocia hotel are part of the deal, so you can settle in and enjoy the night.

Good to Know Before Your Valley Dinner

This is an evening-only experience. Hotel pickups generally start shortly before sunset, and dinner gets going as dusk falls and runs for a few hours into the night. Times shift a bit with the season, so confirm your exact pickup when you book. The point of the timing is to catch the valleys change from twilight to a star-filled sky over the course of the meal.

Smart casual is the right call for dress. Nothing formal is required, but you may want to dress up a touch since it feels like an occasion. Because you're eating outdoors, bring a layer like a sweater or light jacket, evenings in Cappadocia turn cool even after a warm day, and wear comfortable shoes.
