Cappadocia lies a long way from Istanbul, and reaching it can eat into a short trip. This tour solves that with round-trip flights, and it avoids the early start. You fly out in the afternoon and spend your first night in Cappadocia, then have two full days of touring with a licensed local guide, the north of the region on the second day and the south on the third. The tours are the same as on our 2-day package. The difference is the afternoon flight and the extra night.

The balloon flight isn’t part of the standard tour price, but we can arrange it as an optional extra. It takes place at sunrise, before the day’s tour begins. As you spend two nights in Cappadocia, you have two mornings to fly, so if the first morning is cancelled for weather, we can try again the next day. Flights depend on the weather and are cleared each morning by the civil aviation authority. If both mornings are cancelled, you receive a full refund.
The domestic flights allow 8 kg of cabin baggage and 15 kg of checked baggage per person, 23 kg in total. If you are travelling with more, we recommend leaving the rest at your Istanbul hotel.
The tours and stops are the same. On this version you fly to Cappadocia in the afternoon instead of at dawn, so there is no 04:00 pick-up, and you spend two nights in Cappadocia instead of one. The extra night also gives you two mornings for an optional balloon flight, which helps if the first is cancelled for weather.
