8 ways to visit Türkiye's Cappadocia on a budget
11.03.2024 - 06:29 / lonelyplanet.com
Although Türkiye is a relatively cheap country in which to travel, there are some regions which are a bit pricier, and Cappadocia is one of these, thanks to its popularity with both domestic and international tourists.
You’re likely to still find travel here very reasonably priced compared to your home country, but if you’ve been in Türkiye a while, Cappadocia will probably feel a little more expensive than you’re used to. Accommodation, in particular, costs a bit more than elsewhere in the country, and there’s a price hike on food and drink too. That said, it remains a pretty affordable destination. These tips will help you to make the most of your budget.
Flying is the cheapest way to reach Cappadocia, with direct flights from numerous cities within Türkiye as well as a handful of European destinations. Internal flights are particularly good value, so consider taking a budget airline flight to Istanbul or Antalya with Wizz Air or SunExpress, and picking up a connecting flight from there. (Don’t forget, though, that Istanbul has two airports: make sure that your connecting flight goes from the same one you’re flying into.)
There are two airports which serve Cappadocia: Kayseri Erkelit and Nevşehir Kapadokya. Nevşehir only has flights to Istanbul, but is considerably closer to Cappadocia’s main sights, while Kayseri has more connections, but you’ll then need to arrange onward transport to the heart of Cappadocia. If you can find a conveniently-timed flight to Nevşehir, this is likely to be your best-value route into Cappadocia.
It’s worth timing your trip to Cappadocia to take advantage of low season. You’ll be able to save on accommodation, as hotel owners tend to lower their prices when there are fewer tourists about, and you’ll have the added bonus of being able to see the stunning scenery without the crowds.
Cappadocia’s main tourist season is from May until September, so visit a little earlier or later in the year to take advantage of lower prices. Note that it can be cold and snowy in the region in the winter months, so if you’re planning on taking a hot-air balloon flight or hiking the valleys, this may not be the best time to travel here.
If you’re not in a hurry to get around, Cappadocia’s dolmuş service (minibus with a prescribed route) provides an excellent and cheap mode of transport. Dolmuşes connect the towns and villages of the region, departing relatively frequently from the town center or village main street, and cost a fraction of the price a taxi would charge.
The downside, of course, is they’re not always available exactly when you want them, and they offer less capacity for visiting off-the-beaten-track spots. Using a dolmuş for reaching mainstream destinations and a taxi for finding

New Ways To Visit Sicily This Year
For those looking to visit Sicily and experience it in a new way, a good place to start is the Villa Igiea in Palermo. A cherished landmark, the villa is testament to a great Italian dynasty, theFlorios, who were widely chronicled in Europe for both their business acumen and social prowess, as the Astors and Vanderbilts were in the U.S., during the Belle Epoque. Designed in neo-Gothic and Art Nouveau styles, Villa Igiea was purchased by the Florios to be used as a health retreat for an ailing daughter. Instead they turned it into a hotel, which would come to be known for a glittering guest list that included kings and emperors and film-world royalty like Roberto Rossellini and Sophia Loren. In 2019, Rocco Forte Hotels purchased the historic property and initiated a multi-year refurbishment overseen by Olga Polizzi, director of design and deputy chairman of RFH.
