Overview

Cappadocia is Turkey's most otherworldly landscape: fairy chimneys carved by millions of years of erosion, rock-cut churches and underground cities. It lies about 500 km from Alanya — this two-day programme offsets the distance with a night in a 4-star hotel while covering the region's main sights.

Day 1: departure around 03:00, with a breakfast stop in Akseki. The first sight is the Saratlı underground city — stacked tunnels used as a refuge for centuries. After lunch you visit Devrent Valley and a pottery centre, Uçhisar Castle, Pigeon Valley, Göreme and Lovers' Valley. Dinner is at the hotel; in the evening you can join a Turkish night with whirling dervishes (extra).

Day 2: early risers can transfer to the balloon ride (extra — and while hundreds of balloons fill the sky, you can be in one of them). After breakfast at the hotel you visit onyx and leather centres, have lunch in Konya and drive back to Alanya, arriving around 18:30.

Frequently Asked Questions

Is the balloon ride included — how is it arranged?

It is not included — it is an optional extra, and a booking note is enough to reserve a place. On the morning of day 2 you are transferred from the hotel to the launch field. Balloons depend on the weather; if the flight is cancelled, the balloon fee is not charged.

What is the accommodation like — can I choose the room type?

The stay is at a 4-star hotel with dinner and breakfast included. The standard arrangement is a double room; note a request for a single or family room when booking and we will confirm availability.

Are two days enough for Cappadocia?

For the main landmarks, yes: the underground city, the best-known valleys, Uçhisar and Göreme all fit this programme. If you want the balloon flight and a deeper exploration, our 3-day Cappadocia tour runs at a more relaxed pace.
