Cappadocia Tour of Turkey from Nakhchivan-3 Day Tour

  • 8 Hours Tour
  • Cable Car Ride
  • lunch
    Tasty Lunch Included

Cappadocia is a stone stage, shaped by wind. While setting out from Nakhchivan and arriving in this landscape, curiosity greets us in the very first steps. Every corner calls us for the discovery of the next view.

At dawn, hot-air balloons soar upwards, painting the horizon in soft pastel shades. From the basket, the fairy chimneys and flowing valleys spread out below us like a silent film strip. The experience, at this moment, seems too special for photographs.

At the top of Uçhisar Castle, we are amazed by the width of the panorama. We walk through the stone streets; natural colors and shades change continuously, and light paints a different picture at every instant. During each stop on the road, peace and excitement flow together.

The rock-carved churches at the Göreme Open Air Museum place us face to face with history. The colors of the frescoes bring a thousand-year story into our day. And while we walk here, we are not only looking-we can almost hear the stories being told.

While going underground in Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı, silence gets a completely different meaning. Narrow tunnels and stone rooms recall an old life built on protection and togetherness. Every surface you touch holds a memory that is long-lasting.

The earth comes alive with the spinning pottery wheel in Avanos, while the pots, shaped in the hands of masters, will turn your visit into a tangible keepsake. Each felt detail is enriching this route from Nakhchivan to Cappadocia, and the whole trip is turning out to be a soothing, soul-resting discovery.

FAQ

When exactly does the balloon flight take place?

We arrive at the flight site at sunrise and take off after a briefing and security checks. Air and civil aviation approval is required, so we only operate the flight in safe conditions. If approval is not received, we offer refunds or transfers to the following morning.

How does the program change if the balloon is canceled?

We implement a backup plan with early morning sunrise viewings in the valleys, photo opportunities, and short hikes. We prioritize visits during the day; if desired, we may add an ATV/horseback tour or an additional museum stop. We will provide you with the operator’s refund/transfer procedures for the balloon fee in writing.

How is admission to the Göreme Open Air Museum and archaeological sites managed?

The ticket process is managed by the team; we advise you of credit card and cash options in advance. We accompany the guide at the entrances and visit the artifacts in accordance with preservation regulations.

What are the walking distances and difficulty levels?

The daily route can reach a maximum of 6–8 km in total; the pace is set by the guide. We recommend closed-toe, non-slip shoes due to the ups and downs on the stone and dirt floor.

What do we pay attention to in the underground cities?

There are narrow tunnels and steps; we warn guests with claustrophobia or knee or back problems upon entering. There are no elevators; we break up the ascents and descents with short breaks and use the safest route.

How are dinners planned?

We make reservations in the same area based on the day’s last stop. We choose menus featuring local meat dishes, casseroles, and stone-oven options, as well as vegetarian plates. If you have allergies or special diets, we inform the kitchen in advance.

What exactly is a tasting stop in Ürgüp?

We offer a short wine tasting featuring local grapes. For guests who prefer not to drink alcohol, we provide grape juice, coffee, and snacks during the same time.

How do payment, tips, and additional expenses work?

Most restaurants and shops accept cards; however, we recommend having some cash for small payments. Tipping is entirely up to you; it can be left at the table depending on your satisfaction.

What are your recommendations for clothing, equipment, and daily essentials?

We encourage layering: a light jacket for the cool morning breeze, lightweight clothing for midday, a hat, and sunscreen. We ask that you bring water, a small snack, and a spare battery; we return any trash to the vehicle without leaving it in the wild.

Are photography and drone use permitted?

We allow photography; we place the tripod in a safe spot in crowded areas. Drones are subject to local regulations and are not permitted to be used in national parks or settlements. If a drone is requested, we provide written information and instructions regarding permission before the tour.
