Hi Cappadocia Lovers,
Thank you very much for your visit my page about your Cappadocia and Turkey trip. You can contact to me if you have any plan around Turkey and Cappadocia. First of all let me introduce myself to you. My name is Fatih Cakaci.. I am a native Turkish person speaking English and Spanish fluently.
I live in Cappadocia for a long time and after gratuated from Cappadocia University, Tour Guide department, have been guiding since 2006. Although I do guiding all around Turkey with my guiding licence legally, I prefer living and specialise in Cappadocia.
My enthusiasms are especially nature, history, archeology, food and arts. If you are also interested in these subjects, I will be very happy to share my knowledge with you during your visit to our land. You will have chance to see all of them together in Cappadocia.
Cappadocia is quite a big region so that we can see a lot places in a short time. But the main reason people come to Cappadocia is nature. On the other hand, many people are surprised because of its uniqueness when they visit here. Almost every visitors say that other people also should come and see it once in a life time. Because not only rock formations called fairy chimneys but also culture and history are very old here actually. .
Millions of years old rock formations which is called fairy chimneys, caves dwellings, Greek Orthodox rock-cut churches with frescoes and secret pagan undergroundcities in Cappadocia are waiting for you.
Lots of local markets and bazaars, Turkish art galleries will attract your attention and You will have time to see them how to make. Even you can try !
HERE YOU CAN SEE SOME ADVICES ABOUT YOUR TRIP TO CAPPADOCIA
We recommend you minumum 2 o 3 days for your trip to Cappadocia. If you have more days, of course you can see more things but at least you should stay one day in a cave hotel, try hot air ballooning and regional tours provided by us as well. You can arrive Cappadocia by bus or plane. There are 2 airports in the region which are called Nevsehir and Kayseri airports. It takes around one hour to come your hotel from these airports. The best places for staying are in Göreme, Urgup, Uchisar and Avanos towns in Nevsehir city in Cappadocia region. It is located exactly in the middle of Turkey and also known as Central Anatolia region.
