Cappadocia North Tour: Full-Day Guided Trip with Hotel Pickup

About this tour

Spend a full day working through the northern side of Cappadocia with a guide who knows the ground. You'll walk among the valleys where erosion has left tall cone-shaped rock formations known as fairy chimneys, step into rock-cut cave churches painted with old frescoes, and go below ground into one of the region's underground cities carved out centuries ago. Between stops you'll pass through traditional villages and hear the history behind what you're looking at. Hotel pickup and drop-off and an air-conditioned coach are included.

Good to Know Before You Go

The day starts with a hotel pickup somewhere between 09:00 and 09:30, and you'll usually be dropped back around 17:00 to 18:00. Individual sites like the Goreme Open-Air Museum and the underground cities keep their own gates, typically open 08:00 or 09:00 to 17:00 or 19:00 depending on the season, so your guide keeps the group moving to fit everything in and make the most of each stop.

Dress casual and comfortable, since you'll be on your feet a good bit with some light hiking involved. Closed-toe walking shoes with decent grip matter here, as the paths are dirt, rocky, and uneven in places. When you go into the cave churches and other religious sites, cover your shoulders and knees out of respect.
