    Dear Wijdan, thank you very much for your feedback & good ratings. We hope you enjoyed your time in Türkiye. There is a turkish proverb: 'çok yaşayan bilmez, çok gezen bilir.' It means: Not the person who lives long, but the person who has travelled much has knowledge. We hope to welcome you again to explore more of Turkey's diverse landscapes, cities and cultures.

      Martin

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      At what time should I plan my domestic flight from Istanbul to Cappadocia? Would 16:15 be ok? And there are two airports in Istanbul. Which one would you recommend me booking for?

    • Destination Services TurkeyOperatorWritten December 2025

      we can organise transfers from both airports. Simply provide us with your flight details.

    • M

      Martin

      TravelerWritten December 2025

      Aren't we doing activities in Istanbul that day before the flight? Stop for a lunch break at the Turkish restaurant. After lunch the route leads to the Grand Spice Bazaar, where you can find everything from local food and spices to souvenirs such as evil eyes totems. After the tour transfer to Istanbul Airport for a domestic flight to Cappadocia (not included). Upon arrival, transfer from the airport and check in to your hotel in Cappadocia.

      You can come earlier to Istanbul. We can check hotel and airport transfer rate for you. Domestic flights are not included in our rate and need to be booked individually.

    Jasmine

    Asked on July 7th, 2023

    I would like to know the price of the tour including the internal flight between Istanbul and Cappadocia and also if it is possible to exclude the excursion on the third day at the bazaar. And what is the price of one flight with the hot air Balloon?

    Tour Details
    • Destination Services TurkeyOperatorWritten July 2023

      The domestic flights have to be booked individually by you or the customers, we can recommend flights after booking the tour. Currently flights with return from IST - NAV - IST/SAW., Nevsehir are costing around 80-85 Euro with Turkish Airlines for instance. The program is designed as guaranteed departure SIC, therefore the program cannot be changed. The Hot Air Balloon flight over Cappadocia costs around 265-290 Euro, I will check the exact rate. It is an incredible and unforgettable experience.
