How to Reach

Cappadocia is easily accessible by flight or bus if you are coming from prominent tourist attractions like Istanbul, Selcuk or Pamukkale. Mainly there are two airports – Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) and Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR).

By Flight

Taking a flight is the swiftest and easiest way to reach your dream destination. It’s a good idea to plan your mode of transportation before travelling around popular travel seasons.

Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV):

Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport is located 40 minutes away from the city centre. Turkish Airlines has daily flights from Istanbul, Antalya and Izmir to Nevsehir airports in the summer. Turkish and Anadolu Jet airline customers get shuttle service to Cappadocia city centre for approximately 35TL. If you choose a different airline service, you can hire a taxi, rent a car or get in touch with the hotel manager for a pickup.

Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR):

Kayseri Erkilet Airport is around 70 minutes east of Cappadocia. Since it is 70 minutes away from Cappadocia, the conveyance is a bit expensive. Kayseri is a crucial transport point in Central Anatolia, holding a new modern terminal. There are shuttle buses flexible with your flight times, taking you to and fro your hotel in any Cappadocian town for an affordable price.

By Bus

It is cheaper and more convenient to take a bus ride across the panoramic views of the historic place. You can also experience Turkish culture and heritage much more than epic sceneries.

Via Ankara to Cappadocia:

One of the ideal ways to journey from Ankara to Cappadocia is by bus or car. Presently, there are no non-stop flights from Ankara to Cappadocia. But there are connection flights through Istanbul to both Kayseri and Nevsehir.

Via Antalya to Cappadocia:

Overnight buses are running between Antalya and Nevsehir, a 9-10 hour journey. After reaching Nevsehir, you can travel to the Cappadocian town by shuttle bus. You can also visit Konya, explore the ancient silk road, try different cuisines, and continue your travel to the destination the next day.

Via Istanbul to Cappadocia:

You can take a night bus from Istanbul to Cappadocia, costing around 350TL. The night bus covers approximately 730 km in 10 to 12 hours. If you feel comfortable travelling by bus for long distances at an affordable cost, then the night bus is recommended.
