Is it possible to work Saklikent Gorge into this trip? Happy to pay additional to get ourself there and back, there just doesn't appear to be any stops with a free day for us to organise this.

Is there an option to stay in a cave hotel in Cappadocia?

are there any baggage restrictions? if yes, what is the fee for exceeding the restriction?

we are coming in from Canada so we each have 1 checked bag- the typical max 23kg bag, will that be okay for domestic flight? my other question was what do the dorm rooms look like? how many people, type of bed?
