Cappadocia Itinerary
by a local
Cappadocia isn't a balloon-basket photo shoot arranged by a hotel concierge for double the price. Locals hike the Rose and Red Valleys at dawn, eat testi kebab in Uçhisar, and skip the ATV convoy dust for a horseback ride at sunset.
Fairy chimneys, cave hotels, sunrise balloons.
The three swaps a local would make
Booking the balloon through a hotel middleman
Direct with a licensed operator like Voyager or Butterfly
ATV convoy through Love Valley
Sunrise horseback ride (Kapadokya = 'land of beautiful horses')
Tourist restaurants in Göreme centre
Testi kebab at Ziggy Cafe in Uçhisar
