Taking a 3-day tour from Antalya city to Cappadocia offers a fantastic way to experience one of Turkey’s most captivating destinations. To ensure a smooth, enjoyable, and safe journey, here are the key points and guidelines to follow:


1. Travel Itinerary and Timing

2. Hot Air Balloon Ride (Optional)

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

  • Flights are weather-dependent, and the civil aviation office in Cappadocia grants flight approvals daily at 15:00. If conditions allow, balloon rides can be booked for the 2nd or 3rd day.
  • Important: Booking a balloon ride through another company is not allowed if you’re on our tour.
  • The tour guide follows the reservation process for the balloon tour.

3. Clothing and Footwear

Comfortable walking shoes are essential, as Cappadocia’s terrain includes rocky valleys, uneven paths, and underground city tours. Layers are recommended; Cappadocia’s climate can vary from hot during the day to cool in the evenings, especially in caves or underground areas.


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.
  • Ensure you bring any necessary medications, especially for potential motion sickness if you’re sensitive to winding roads.

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!

Hello, Thank you for contacting us. Unfortunately we can't do pick up from airport. Pick up from airport for excursions always causes with some problem and big chaos. So, Not from airport but We can do it at a petrol station by the motorway near airport, about 1-2 km far from airport depends on the arrival terminal. Kind regards, Vigo Tours
Hello, Thank you for contacting us. For 9 people we can organise 3 day trip to Cappadocia from Antalya with an english guide. But it won't be a private tour to your group which means we can include more people from our side also. Kind regards, Vigo Tours
Hello, Thank you for contacting us. This year unfortunately we do not organise 3 day trip to Cappadocia, but only 2 day trip. Also we do not sell Cappadocia tour with balloon ride included.

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
