Göreme Historical National Park

Defenetly recommended for morning walk, ? such a beautiful place, from another world ? look a like ?

We watched the sun set from here and it was such an amazing experience! It's free to visit but quite sandy/dusty, so go with appropriate walking shoes. My friends and I also had a photoshoot session here and it turned out lovely!

What a beautiful and wonderful scenery. I'm from Mexico, and we can show off about our biggest ecosystems, but defentyl we don't have any of this. It's a great experience enjoy different events while you are in company of family and friends. Also there are a lot of things that you can do and you will never end to discover the amazing culture of this place and their community. To be honest I hope to return as soon as possible.

Magical, enchanting, beautiful. The town itself is charming and it's a photographer's dream to explore the rocks and caves. Of course the main attraction is the air balloons every morning at sunrise, but I found it preferable to be on the ground and photograph them floating. I was on a high perch where they came down almost to my head so we really had the same view and I didn't have to pay anything for it!

Cappadocia is a historical region in Central Anatolia, largely in the Nevşehir, Kayseri, Kırşehir, Aksaray, Malatya, Sivas and Niğde provinces in Turkey. Since the late 300s BC the name Cappadocia came to be restricted to the inland province (sometimes called Great Cappadocia), Upper Cappadocia, which alone will be the focus of this article.

There are some wonderful views on the hike. I found it great for trail running too (I was there off season so I am not sure how busy it gets, there was no single person while I was there)

Such a magical experience! The formations are simply out of this world, and the history behind them amazing. ??We unfortunately did not get the chance to walk through it all due to time limits, but had a stunning aerial view from a sunrise hot air balloon ride.?

I totally agree with many other travelers here that entire Cappadocia is a worldwide unique place, so I wont waste your time here explaining how wonderful it is (I'll do that in separate attractions reviews). Instead, I'll point out here useful info I learned while planning our trip, and from our experience on the ground. - plan to spend 3-4 days to see everything this unique place has to offer (we did it in 3 days, but needed a serious rest after that down on the coast - 4 days would be more relaxed), - best airport to arrive is Kayseri. This airport is much bigger than the closer Nevsehir airport and has more frequent and better (and cheaper) connections with rest of Turkey. From Kayseri airport, Goreme and Cappadocia are an hour drive, - DO rent a car at Kayseri airport. It is pretty cheap and cars are brand new - I used the "Avec" local company - great. You will need a car to explore the area as attractions are scattered in a 100 km radius in all directions. You'll save yourself money and do the sightseeing in comfort, not depending on groups and schedules. Roads are very good, with good signage, maps are working and petrol price is a bargain, - if looking for a hotel with a pool to cool and relax, make sure it has an indoor pool (even in mid August when we visited morning and late afternoon air temperatures are insufficient to have a pleasant outdoor swim - 15-20'C, and also the outdoor pool water is NOT heated), - restaurants are feast for eyes and stomach, plenty of them - it is really difficult to go wrong with that, - DO BUY the "Museum Cappadocia" Pass. It enables you to skip the lines in front of each attraction, and it saves you almost 50% of the fees you'd pay separately. It can be purchased at any site entrance. It pays of just after 4 visits out of 8 included (see my pic), - there's no need for any organized agency tours if you have a car. Everything is well posted and explained in brochures and plaques at every site. - balloon morning flight is a must (the best such I'd ever had, and the cheapest at the same time). This, you must do with an agency. I suggest "Gorgeous Tours", find their website. Same applies for the morning/afternoon ATV tours I strongly recommend.
