2. Hot Air Balloon Ride (Optional)

Booking a hot air balloon ride is an unforgettable highlight of Cappadocia, but please note:

  • Important: Booking a balloon ride through another company is not allowed if you’re on our tour.

4. Photography and Respect for Sites

Photography is welcomed at most locations, but respect is key, particularly in areas of religious or historical significance, such as cave churches. Drones may not be allowed in certain areas, so please check with your tour guide about specific photography guidelines.


5. Local Currency and Meals

  • While some places accept credit cards, it’s advised to carry Turkish Lira (TRY) for small purchases, souvenirs, and meals in local eateries.
  • Turkish cuisine is part of the experience; you’ll have the chance to try authentic dishes in local restaurants, so bring an adventurous appetite!

6. Health and Safety

  • Some locations, such as the underground cities, may not be suitable for those with claustrophobia or mobility issues. Your guide will provide advice on tour accessibility.

By keeping these guidelines in mind, you’ll make the most of your 3-day Cappadocia tour from Antalya and fully enjoy this unique, historical adventure!

Definitiv die beste Tour bis jetzt in der Türkei!

Alles war gut organisiert! Wir waren eine kleine Gruppe daher sehr angenehm! Metin der guid konnte uns viel historisches erzählen was sehr interessant war! Da er aus Kapadokya kommt kannte er sich gut aus und uns viel mehr von der Stadt zeigen! Mit dem Hotel war alles in Ordnung. Habe sogar ein kostenloses Upgrade bekommen! Alles war gut organisiert und der Gruppe angepasst!

Excellent trip, just the long way driven . Maybe driving one way by night with just to stops and the come back way by day!! But it was very nice and Beautiful! Thank you!

Reply from Vigo Tours: Thank you very much for your review!

Cappadocia is a long way, yes, and unfortunately it is not a tour that can be done in one day, even by plane. To explore a large region such as Cappadocia with many beautiful corners to explore, you should stay there for at least 3 days. Best regards, Team Vigo Tours
