About This Activity

Step into the captivating world of Cappadocia, a region where history and natural beauty blend seamlessly. This 2-day tour from Antalya takes you through ancient underground cities, iconic rock formations, and charming towns. Cappadocia’s unique landscapes, shaped by centuries of volcanic activity, create an otherworldly experience that draws travelers from around the globe.

The journey begins with a comfortable bus ride from Antalya, complete with scenic stops and a chance for breakfast. Upon arriving in Cappadocia, visit a fascinating underground city, a marvel of ancient engineering. The day continues with panoramic views at Uchisar Fortress and stops at Pigeon Valley, Love Valley, and Derwent Valley, each known for their surreal rock formations. Lunch in the vibrant city of Avanos is followed by a visit to a local pottery store, offering hands-on insights into the region’s artisanal traditions.

As evening sets in, enjoy a delicious dinner at your hotel. For those seeking a cultural experience, the optional “Night in Cappadocia” folklore show presents traditional Anatolian music and dance in a lively atmosphere. The second day begins with an optional hot air balloon ride, where you can take in Cappadocia’s stunning sunrise from above. If you prefer to stay grounded, the balloon parade offers equally spectacular views for photography enthusiasts.

Continue your exploration with visits to the rock city of Chavushin, the Church of St. John the Baptist, and the picturesque Uchguzel – Three Beauties, a popular photo spot. Before returning to Antalya, explore the stone center of Anatolia, showcasing the region’s rich craftsmanship. A leisurely lunch caps off the adventure, leaving you with lasting memories of Cappadocia’s wonders.

A great, action packed 2 day trip around Cappadocia! The highlights for me were exploring the rock houses and watching the hot air balloons rise at dawn in Göreme absolutely stunning. The hotel in Göreme was decent, offering a buffet style dinner and a continental breakfast, which made things convenient. Our guide was fantastic very knowledgeable and eager to share information about the many sights we visited along the way. Rest stops were well timed, giving us the chance to stretch, grab drinks or snacks, pick up souvenirs, or just take a break especially important as there’s no toilet on the coach. Hotel pickup and drop off were also included which made the logistics easy. The two days are quite full and start early but the experiences make it all well worth it. Highly recommended!
