Day 2: A Day of Exploration
(Optional: Early Morning Hot-Air Balloon Flight) For those seeking an extra touch of magic, an optional pre-sunrise hot-air balloon flight is available. Hotel pickup begins around 6:30 am in winter and 4:30 am in summer, promising an enchanting experience in the skies. Your adventure culminates with a drop-off at 8:00/8:30 am.
Blue Tour: Our journey continues with an exploration of the mesmerizing Red and Rose Valley, renowned for their captivating beauty and enigmatic allure. Traverse through the stunning rock formations and conclude your hike at the captivating Cavusin Cave Village. Here, troglodyte dwellings and a rock castle await your exploration, providing a glimpse into a bygone era that persisted until the 20th century.
Savor a delectable lunch at a local restaurant, rejuvenating yourself for the next leg of our journey. Venture deep beneath the surface as we visit the Kaymakli Underground City—an expansive settlement nestled beneath the earth’s crust. Uncover the stables, cellars, storage rooms, refectories, churches, and wineries that formed this subterranean community.
Behold the panoramic splendor of the Pigeon Valley, adorned with dove cotes, abandoned cave homes, and the grandeur of Uchisar and Ortshisar Castle—a collection of the largest fairy chimneys in Cappadocia.
As the day draws to a close, at 6:00 pm, we will transfer you to the airport, marking the end of our services. This marks the completion of an extraordinary journey through Cappadocia’s wonders.

Absolutely amazing tour, I booked last minute tour with Enka travel and they were outstanding over the 3 days I spent in Cappadocia. I didn’t have to worry about a thing booking tbis tour everything from the moment I was picked up from my Istanbul hotel was organised and the travel agent was very professional, even offering 24/7 assistance and upgrading my hotel to luxury suite. The past 3 days have been incredible I highly recommend the hot air ballooning as its seriously breathtaking. Thank you so much for a brilliant 3 days in Cappadocia.

I normally don’t write reviews but felt I needed to praise the ENKA travel group, specifically Aygul. She was available 24/7 to answer all of my questions about our trip and organized an amazing experience. I went with my best friend and we had a fantastic time doing the two day tour of the Cappadocia region. But honestly the people were what made the trip amazing. From Aygul, to our tour guide Murat, to our hot air balloon pilot Kurtulus and our hotel manager Emin, everyone was so friendly, helpful and welcoming! I will definitely use ENKA Travel for my next trip to Turkey!

My friend and I recently took this trip on the spur of the moment during a 7 day stay in Istanbul. We are so glad we did as it opened up an experience we will never forget. The tour was beautifully organized by the very helpful and friendly Aigul, everything was taken care of and we felt in good hands. We stayed in the cave suite hotel, which was superb and we fell in love with Fatimah who treated us like one of the family. The price of the one night tour included everything and was extremely good value for money. As an extra, which we paid for separately, I have to mention the highlight of the trip was the exhilarating, spectacular hot air balloon ride over the landscape watching the sun come up. I would thoroughly recommend this trip to all explorers as an experience to cherish.

I can only recommend it!
The tour guide was very knowledgeable and explained very well all the main points on the tour. He could also answer all of our questions and was very open to answering difficult questions at any point. The tour guide went very smoothly and we had enough time to visit all the sites, walk around them, and enjoy the scenic views. Definitely recommend it for anyone travelling around Cappadocia!

The journey from Istanbul to Cappadocia was seamless, and the tour guides were knowledgeable and friendly. They made sure we were well-informed about the history and significance of the places we visited.
Exploring the unique landscapes of Cappadocia was a surreal experience. The fairy chimneys, cave dwellings, and underground cities were unlike anything I had ever seen before. The hot air balloon ride at sunrise was undoubtedly the highlight of the trip, offering breathtaking views that will stay with me forever.
The accommodations and meals provided during the tour were excellent, allowing us to relax and recharge after each day’s adventures.
