Cappadocia Tours & Holidays

Cappadocia is one of the most travelled to regions in Turkey so thankfully it's easy to get there with flights and public transportation options available in the form of bus and train services.

The best way to get to the mythical destination depends on your budget and travel timeline with flying being the quickest option. There are multiple flights that operate daily from Istanbul to the two closest airports in Cappadocia, Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) and Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR).

However, it takes a further 37 minutes and 1 hour from each airport respectively to get into the heart of Cappadocia. Bus and train services will obviously take you a bit longer but are great budget-conscious and comfortable options. 

Cappadocia is perfectly safe to travel to as there are no obvious political or security threats in the main tourist areas. This is largely due to the Turkish government's focus on the region as being a major drawcard for international travellers.

However, the same general safety rules apply when travelling; go out in groups or as a pair after dark, stick to well-lit and populated streets/areas, and be aware of your belongings at all times. 

Cappadocia experiences a continental climate of hot, dry, and sunny summers and cold winters (even with the occasional snowfall).

The summer months of June, July, and August are the most popular time to travel.

Average summer temperatures reach into the 30°Cs.

Average winter temperatures can lower to a chilly 5°C. Keep this in mind when planning your trip and pack accordingly.

Even in summer, the temperatures can drop significantly. Make sure you pack clothes for all seasons.

Absolutely. All passengers travelling with Intrepid are required to purchase travel insurance before the start of their trip. It's important to understand that each country you visit may have its own specific entry requirements, and some destinations mandate travel health insurance for all foreign travellers, regardless of their nationality.

Your leader will record your travel insurance details on the first day of the trip. Due to the varying nature, availability and cost of health care around the world, travel insurance is an essential part of every journey.
