TURKEY - Cappadocia

FLIGHT You can do a domestic flight for Cappadocia from Istanbul. There are two airports, one is 40 min (Navshir) from Goreme one is 60 min. We took the further away one b/c it was the only one available the days we needed to fly (KayseriO. We flew Turkish airlines. HOTEL We stayed at Historical Goreme Hotel. I just looked on booking.com and it was available for the dates I wanted and they had triple rooms. The reivews said it was in an excellent location and it really was. The two brothers who run the hotel definitely put in 100 percent. They are very friendly and want to make sure you have a good stay. Considering it was only $100/night for a triple room, you really can't beat the view from their breakfast room. The bedroom is spacious too. We loved being able to walk to all that we needed to reach. They can arrange airport pick up and drop off for only EUR 10 per person. They operate by using whatsapp. They offered tours but we found the tours at HIRO were much lower. TRAVEL TOUR AGENCY HIRO TOURS hirotour@hotmail.com TEl +90 384 271 2542 Muze Cad, No 22/A Goreme Cappadocia We booked a private car and a driver with them, it was 90 EUR for the whole day. We squeezed in SO MUCH! Cappadocia has two tours - Green and Red. By doing a private tour we were able to mix red and green which is (more or less) north or south of Goreme. Price was for just car/driver, we had to pay for entrance fees and our lunch. The elderly gentleman was Ravrazan, he was grandfatherly and very kind. He told me that he lost about 102 relatives on his wife's side of the family. He sent me his number 05364188331 Kids really liked the underground city of KAYMAKLI. We booked ATV tours with them, we did the sunset one. There were TONS of people doing the sunset tour. It was major traffic at all the main sights but if you don't mind crowds, it's still super fun. We paid EUR 20 per person, I think it's usually EUR 30. Horseback riding was fabulous, we thought that someone would just pull the horse, but Lulu and I really did just trot along by ourselves. I loved the slow speed and how we could really enjoy the countryside.
