Available Overview
Contrast the vibrant, urban energy of Istanbul — the only city in the world spanning two continents — with the silent, moon-like landscapes of Cappadocia. This 5-day, 4-night tour pairs two nights in Istanbul's Old City with two nights in a Cappadocia cave hotel, connected by a short domestic flight, so most of your trip is spent exploring rather than travelling between cities.

Istanbul & Cappadocia Hotels
Two nights are spent in a 4–5 star hotel in Istanbul's Old City, walking distance from Sultanahmet's main sights, then two nights in a Cappadocia cave hotel — rooms carved directly into the volcanic rock, with thick stone walls that stay naturally cool in summer. Hotel category and room type can be upgraded on the Konfor and Ful Vip tiers — ask your travel consultant once your dates are confirmed.
Domestic Flight to Cappadocia
Cappadocia is reached from Istanbul by a roughly 1 hour 15 minute domestic flight into either Kayseri (ASR) or Nevşehir (NAV) airport. The flight is included in all three tiers, in both directions, along with a private transfer from the airport straight to your cave hotel — no public shuttles or shared minibuses to wait around for.
Hot Air Balloon in Cappadocia (Optional)
The sunrise balloon flight is optional and not included in the base tour price on any tier, since flights depend on weather clearance and are typically confirmed the evening before. It's usually flown early on Day 4, before breakfast. We sell it as a standalone add-on at $180 per person — see the Cappadocia hot air balloon page for full details, or ask your travel consultant to add it once your tour dates are confirmed.
