Cappadocia tours & holidays

This is one of the Turkish delights that deserves the hype

What began as a series of volcanic ash explosions hundreds of years ago has now transformed Cappadocia into a magical landscape full of fairy chimneys and rock formations that you simply have to see to believe – and we can’t forget about the hot air balloons. Rising into the sky effortlessly, these giant, floating wonders give the region a dreamy atmosphere that no Instagram post or highlight reel will ever do justice. From tasting traditional Turkish flavours with a local family to walking through an underground city and taking in the sight of the Göreme mountains, this is one adventure you’ll never want to wake up from.

Loved the world over by influencers hoping to get that perfect ‘Instagrammable’ pic, taking a hot air balloon ride in Cappadocia has arguably become what this mystical region is most known for. After all, there’s nothing quite like watching hundreds of balloons take to the skies around you as the sun’s rays illuminate a new day. Unforgettable doesn’t even begin to describe this once-in-a-lifetime experience.

Enjoy a traditional Turkish meal with a local family

One of the perks of travelling to Turkey is the mouth-watering food waiting for you at every breakfast, lunch, and dinner. From a steaming plate of menemen to wake you up in the morning to the sweet and sticky flavours of baklava for dessert, Turkish cuisine is among the best in the world, especially when made by the hands of a local from recipes that have been preserved and treasured over generations.

Walk the region’s underground cities

Just as captivating as its aboveground counterpart, the underground cities of Cappadocia (there are about 200 of them) promise to have you utterly transfixed and eternally fascinated. Whether you’re exploring Ozkonak, a city hollowed out of tufa rock thousands of years ago or wandering the tunnels of Kaymakli four levels below ground, knowing people used to live within these dirt walls will blow your mind.

Hike through the Goreme mountains

While Cappadocia might be the main event, the surrounding landscape of Goreme is well worth your time and energy thanks to the myriad of walking trails snaking their way through the nearby mountain ranges. Your local leader will know all of the best trails (with the best views) so leave the fairy chimneys and underground cities behind and pull on your hiking boots for a morning spent in the hills.
