Cappadocia Tour from Kayseri Airport: North Valleys Day with Lunch

Cappadocia day tour from Kayseri Airport: the key facts

This is a one-day guided tour that starts at Kayseri Airport. A guide meets you at the arrivals exit with a name sign, and you drive into Cappadocia for the north valleys route: Devrent Valley (also called Pink Valley), Pasabag, a pottery workshop in Avanos, the Goreme panoramic view, the Zelve open-air site and an outside view of Uchisar Castle. Lunch at a local restaurant and the entrance fees are included. At the end of the day you are dropped at a hotel in Goreme, back at the airport, or at the bus station.

It suits travellers who land at Kayseri in the morning and want to use their first day for sightseeing instead of a plain transfer, or who are passing through the region on a tight schedule. The price is from $68 per person.

What time does our flight need to land?

The FAQ says the day begins at 08:30, so plan on a flight that lands early enough for you to collect your bags and walk out to the arrivals exit by then. The booking form, however, offers start times from 08:00 to 14:00, with 09:00 marked as suggested. A start after midday would not leave time for six stops before 17:00. Send us your flight number before you pay, and follow the meeting time we put in your written confirmation rather than the time box on the form.

How far is Kayseri Airport from the first stop?

Kayseri is the further of the two Cappadocia airports, roughly 75 km from Goreme, so the first part of the morning is a drive of around an hour or more. That is one reason the start is early. If your flight options allow, compare this tour with the day tour from Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport, which covers the same north route from the closer airport at the same price.

Where are we dropped off at the end?

The overview offers three options: a hotel in Goreme, back at Kayseri Airport, or the bus station. Tell us which you need when you book. If you are flying out the same evening, give us the flight time so we can confirm in writing that a drop-off after the tour around 17:00 leaves you enough margin for the drive back and check-in. If you are staying on, our guide to where to stay in Cappadocia helps you choose a base.

What about our luggage?

You leave the airport straight onto the tour, so your bags ride in the vehicle all day. The page does not state a luggage limit. If you are carrying large suitcases, tell us when you book so we can confirm there is room, especially since this is a shared group tour. Keep passports, medicines and valuables in a small bag that stays with you at each stop.

Why does the FAQ mention euros?

The booking form shows "from $68 per person", which is the price for this tour. One FAQ answer compares it with the Green Tour, quoted at €68 and described as "€8 more than this tour". That would put this tour at €60, which does not match the dollar figure. Use the booking form price, and check the total in your written confirmation before you pay. The Cappadocia Green Tour itself, with Derinkuyu underground city, is listed at $77 per person and starts later, at 09:30.

How much walking is there?

The walking is easy to moderate. At Devrent Valley and the Goreme viewpoint you mostly look out over the rock formations. At Pasabag you walk between the fairy chimneys on sandy paths, and the Zelve open-air site has longer trails on uneven ground. In Avanos, a town known for its red-clay pottery, the stop is a workshop visit. After a flight, wear comfortable shoes with grip and bring a hat, sunscreen and water.

Which language does the guide speak?

The inclusions list an English-speaking licensed guide. The FAQ says you can choose English, Spanish or Italian and that the price may change by language. If you need a language other than English, ask for it when you book and have both the language and the price written into your confirmation.

Can we add a balloon flight or another day?

Yes, as separate bookings. Balloon flights take off around sunrise, so they fit the morning after this tour if you stay the night. See the hot air balloon flight page for details. If you are staying at a Kayseri hotel rather than arriving by air, the Cappadocia day trip from Kayseri hotels may suit you better. All options are listed under Cappadocia tours.
