#AprilGoodDestinations2025 The Goreme Open Air Museum is located in the Goreme Valley. There are more than 30 rock cave churches in this area. The Goreme Open Air Museum means "invisible". Thousands of years ago, their ancestors carved caves on the rocks to avoid disasters. This is not only one of the most important historical sites in Cappadocia, but also the most popular must-visit attraction in Cappadocia. Some caves are empty while others are painted with murals. The most famous one is the "Black Church" (Karanlik /Dark church), so you need to buy a separate ticket to visit it. Cappadocia is an open-air museum that brings together nature, history and humanities. Only by visiting it in person can you feel the heart-stirring emotion.

It's been almost ten years since the second season of "Flowers and Youth"! After watching it, Türkiye became one of my must-visit destinations in life. I finally experienced it all in one trip - Istanbul spanning Asia and Europe, Cappadocia's hot air balloons, and the beautiful Pamukkale ✨ ❗【👇Click below to check in at the same fairy city as seen on "Flowers and Youth"】❗ 🎈Cappadocia · Alien Landscape Wonder This is the world's most beautiful place to view hot air balloons, a gathering place for unique cave hotels, and a filming location for "Star Wars." Riding ATVs at sunset in search of the legendary twilight roses truly makes this "fairy city" and "romantic city" worthy of its name! Of course, don't miss the hot air balloon experience! The champagne hot air balloon journey in the itinerary is amazing! When you rise to 1,000 feet, you can overlook the entire landscape of Cappadocia~ 【🌟Must-visit attractions】 Hagia Sophia, Topkapi Palace, Hierapolis, Pamukkale, Temple of Artemis, Kaymakli Underground City 【🏨Recommended hotels】 1️⃣ Istanbul Palace Hotel 2️⃣ Cappadocia Cave Hotel ❗【👇Click below to check in at the same fairy city as seen on "Flowers and Youth"】❗

Hey mamas! I took my 7-year-old to explore cave hotels in Cappadocia, and now this little one hugs his pillow every day saying "I want to go back to sleep on Mars!"🚀 I've put together a detailed review of 7 magical hotels based on our real experience. Let me show you how to discover Earth's most moon-like landscape through a fairy tale lens! ▫️Sunrise Pool Views That'll Blow Your Mind The pool at Kelebek Special Cave Hotel is pure magic! Dragged my kid out of bed at 5 AM, wrapped in blankets by the pool, and when hundreds of hot air balloons floated overhead, he was speechless: "Mom, they're cooking colorful dumplings in the sky!"🌅 Even better - this hotel shares a terrace with Sultan Cave Suites. For just $300+ per person, you can enjoy their famous carpet breakfast spot. Dress your little one in traditional clothes for Instagram-worthy photos that'll steal the show! ▫️Heated Pool: Winter's Best Friend Who knows the joy of swimming in -10°C weather! The Museum Hotel's heated pool helped my little penguin unlock his "swimming in snow achievement"❄️ While floating and watching balloons rise over Uçhisar Castle ruins, my kid suddenly turned into a history buff: "Mom, is this what Byzantine warriors saw?" (This mama's cramming history lessons overnight🤯) ▫️Pet Strategy: Operation Win Over Human Cubs Artemis Cave Suites and Rox Cave Hotel are perfect for kids! The hotel's star dog Max plays fetch and teaches rolling tricks. On our last day, my kid stuffed cookies into Max's fur as "strategic reserves"🍪 The cat at Sultan Cave Suites is even better, waiting for balloons with kids on the terrace - photos look like a spin-off of "Hotel Transylvania"! ▫️400-Year Time Travel Breakfast Henna Hotel gave my kid the full theatrical experience! Eating breakfast on 400-year-old Ottoman stone steps, with staff teaching him to pour apple tea from antique copper kettles🍎 Wearing the hotel's traditional costume, he suddenly announced: "The prince shall now dine" (definitely inherited my dramatic flair😅) ▫️Adorable Cave Turndown Service New surprises every evening! Cappadocia Moon Hotel makes hot air balloons from towels🧺, Kelebek Special Cave Hotel leaves mini pottery by children's pillows. At checkout, my kid collected gifts from all seven hotels, proudly declaring himself a "Cave Warrior"🏅 Museum Hotel goes further, making kids' desserts look like archaeological fossils - my chocolate-covered kid kept asking to "continue excavating"! ▫️Outdoor Cinema Turns Astronomy Class Rox Cave Hotel's stargazing terrace is amazing! While lying on Turkish carpets waiting for the Milky Way, staff used laser pointers to teach constellations🌌 Now my kid points to Alpha Centauri saying: "That's where the Trisolarians live!" (Dad immediately ordered "A Brief History of Time"🤣) Tips: ✅Golden hour for balloon photos is within 1h after sunrise ✅Museum Hotel serves dinosaur fossil cakes at afternoon tea ✅Best time for Sultan terrace photos is 7 AM when it's least crowded ✅Book Henna Hotel's antique rooms 3 months ahead Now my kid carries around volcanic rocks from the cave hotel, calling them "magical eggs that hatch hot air balloons"🥚 So here's my question - how do I explain we weren't actually staying on a Mars base?!

Girls! On the "Martian surface" of Türkiye, my 6-year-old daughter actually talked to an owl using cave paintings! This place, Cappadocia, where even *Star Wars* was filmed, hides 10 amazing cave hotels. They even deliver breakfast baskets by hot air balloon🎈! ✨【Sultan Cave Suites: The carpets came alive!】 The moment I rushed onto the terrace, I was almost breathless from the beauty! The Turkish carpets everywhere are definitely not for walking on—the photogenic butler taught my daughter how to pose like she was flying, and even gave her magic coins to exchange for ice cream afterward🍦! The cave bathtub in the room has a built-in starry sky projection, and while my daughter was soaking, she suddenly shouted, "Mom! There are ancient fairies dancing on the wall!" 🦉【Museum Hotel: A baby owl hatched from an antique bathtub】 Living in the cave palace of Uçhisar is a treasure hunt every day! My daughter was studying a bronze candlestick with a magnifying glass when suddenly a snowy owl popped out of the antique bathtub🦉! The heated pool is perfect for watching hot air balloons take off, and the waiter brought us glowing cotton candy. After one bite, my daughter declared, "This is a ticket for the Hogwarts Express!" 🐕【Artemis Cave Suites: A golden retriever tour guide leads the treasure hunt】 Who can resist Max, the golden retriever guide? This star dog led my daughter with a map to find hidden caves, and she even dug up a wish bottle left by a previous guest💌. The best part was the Turkish bath, where the masseuse used hot stone slabs to give my daughter a "cave sandwich." Her cheeks were as red as pomegranate juice when she came out～ 🎈【Kelebek Special Cave Hotel: Wake-up call from a hot air balloon】 I woke up at 5 am to the beautiful reflection in the pool! This sister hotel of the Sultan is the king of cost-effectiveness; you can enjoy the same terrace for half the price. The staff lowered our breakfast in a hot air balloon-shaped basket from the courtyard, and my daughter was so excited she almost smeared jam all over the rock walls🍯! It's super convenient to walk to the town, and buying my daughter a fairy cape instantly transformed her into a local～ 🌙【Lunar Cappadocia Hotel: An alien appeared at the open-air cinema】 The night on the garden terrace was so magical! The projector played *E.T.* on the moon-like landscape, and a real hot air balloon floated by just as the spaceship took off in the movie👽! My daughter ran after the shadows with a glowing fairy wand and finally fell asleep in a hammock, counting the stars～ 💡Hard-earned tips: 1️⃣Request a room "with a window" when booking! We stayed in a windowless cave once, and my daughter said it felt like being swallowed by a troll. 2️⃣Museum Hotel is the top choice for kids! Heated pool + antique bathtub, with a super stable hot water supply. 3️⃣The Wi-Fi at Sultan Hotel is indeed terrible, but the butler thoughtfully provides offline treasure maps. 4️⃣The best season for hot air ballooning is May–September, so remember to book a hotel with a wake-up call service. When we checked out, my daughter buried her magic coin in a crack in the rock: "For the next kid, as a key～" Who understands? My daughter, raised in this alien landscape, even dreams of piloting a hot air balloon castle～ Next year, when I save enough money, we'll come back and chase the sunset on ATVs🏍️!

When staying in Cappadocia I have booked a professional photo tour on a sunrise with hot air balloon but what was my surprise when I came from that photo session and saw the balloons right above my hotel I stayed at! I rucshed to the rooftop and enjoyed looking at them while they were slowly moving away. It was such an unexpected surprise to me.

This post, I want to share my full 6-day Turkey travel experience. Since I've been on a road trip for almost the entire trip, I was very excited. 🩷Day 1 We landed in Istanbul in the morning and took a flight in the afternoon to Adiyaman Airport to travel to Kahta, a city in a high valley. After driving for 1 hour from the airport, we arrived at Karakus Tumulusu at around 5:00 PM. The sun was setting and the sky was pink and blue. 🤎Day 2This day was the highlight of this trip because we intended to take a plane to Adiyaman to climb Mount Nemrut (2,134 m high). The time on the map was 1.5 hours, but since the road was very steep and it was a mountain road from the beginning, it took almost 2 hours. The most exciting thing was the last 4 kilometers, which was a winding and steep road. Most importantly, the road was covered in snow, causing the wheels to spin several times. I almost gave up and went back down, but in the end, I made it through that point and reached the top. It was a very worthwhile journey...on the way up the mountain. A large rock fell from the mountain, blocking the road. We had to get out of the car to move the rock to make way. It was very dangerous. Then, while we were moving the rock, another large rock suddenly rolled down from the mountain and hit the middle of the car hard. It was dented...🚗After visiting Nemrut, we drove for 7 hours to the next city, "Goreme". But the thrill was that we had to drive at night and the road was a high mountain covered in snow. If anyone is afraid of big things, they will be scared. 🧡Day 3, of course, Cappadocia is a city with a well-known balloon festival. We planned to wake up early in the morning to see the balloons. But it started to rain. Everything was canceled. Even the activities in Rose Valley were closed. So we went to see the view at Love Valley instead. But the view was just as beautiful. And I think it might be lucky that the plan changed and made it here.🚗After enjoying nature, we drove to Alanya, the next station. It took another 7 hours as usual. But because it was raining, while driving up the high mountain, the rain suddenly turned into snow. Even more dangerous 💙Day 4 of the first 3 days, there was no day that the temperature was higher than 5 degrees. But in Antalya or Alanya, it is a city on the Mediterranean Sea. The temperature was 18 degrees, so hot that it was almost too hot to adjust. We went up to see the view at Alanya Castle. The panoramic view was too much to capture in a single picture. Then we drove along the Mediterranean Sea. There are many more tourist spots along the coast. Another important spot is Aspendos, an ancient city with a large theater. Unfortunately, we arrived close to closing time, so we could only visit the theater. 🚗And the road trip is almost over with the last 5 hours to drive into Denizli (Pamukkale). 🩵Day 5 Pamukkale is another city that tourists visiting Turkey cannot miss. It is a famous tourist attraction. The large white limestone mountain attracts many tourists. Today, we woke up early to finish sightseeing before returning the rental car. We were lucky to experience the atmosphere when there were not many people (at 10 am, it was already packed with tourists). 🚌After returning the rental car (we had agreed to pick up and return the car in different cities, which caused another problem when returning the car) But I survived because of the staff's dizziness) The drive ended. I changed to a tour bus to return to Istanbul, the capital. But for those who want to travel this way, you have to prepare yourself for the smell and cleanliness. 💜 Day 6 Istanbul, the capital of Turkey. I won't tell much because I'm tired. I can't travel anymore. 55555 But I want to leave you with a good impression of Hagia Sofia and the Blue Mosque, which are huge and magnificent. And still preserve some history for future generations to see (Note: Female tourists who visit the mosque must wear a Muslim headscarf.) ✈️ The trip ended and we returned from IST Airport without any new content. Finally, I would like to thank myself and my boyfriend for having the presence of mind to solve the problems that occurred on the trip well. (At least we survived.) For those who want to travel with the same plan, I must say that you shouldn't do it. You should have time to rest. At least stay in each city for 2 nights. We think that's just right. 💰 Average price per person: We went with my boyfriend, 2 people, including food, travel, car rental, and hotel, 40,000 baht is enough. Note: The most cooperative creature in this country is the cat. Cat slaves should go to Turkey. I love this trip. Nature, tourist attractions, roads, weather. I've encountered almost every possible situation. It's really complete. 🤍💜💙💚💛🧡❤️#TurkeyTrip #TurkeyReview #TurkeyTravel #TurkeyTravelByYourself

Cappadocia is a magical place that looks like the surface of the moon. If you visit Cappadocia, you must experience a cave hotel. Sacred Mansion Hotel is like a cave castle from a fairytale book. It will take you on a journey through time and space for a unique travel experience. [Location] The hotel is located in the center of Goreme, within walking distance of all corners of the town. In the morning, you can open the window to see hot air balloons flying in the sky. With the sunrise as a backdrop, it feels like you are in a fairytale world. At night, the town's lights twinkle like stars, creating a romantic atmosphere. [Rooms] The hotel opened in 2024, and its facilities and decor are first-class. The service is excellent, and the breakfast is rich. I can say that this is the best hotel I have experienced in Goreme. The hotel's rooms are all converted from ancient caves, retaining the original rock structure. They are warm in winter and cool in summer, with a unique style. I stayed in a suite this time, with a separate living room and bedroom. The room is beautifully decorated, with modern facilities. It retains a sense of history while providing a comfortable living experience. [Service] The hotel's service is attentive and thoughtful. The staff are friendly and always smiling, making you feel at home. They will provide you with detailed travel advice, help you book hot air balloon trips, and even prepare a romantic cave dinner for you. [Gourmet Feast] I mainly tried two restaurants this time: Lilith Restaurant at Sacred Mansion and Virtus Restaurant at Sacred House. They are truly a paradise for food lovers. 1️⃣ Lilith Restaurant: This restaurant is known for its exquisite Turkish cuisine and romantic atmosphere. It is located on the hotel's rooftop terrace, overlooking the beautiful scenery of Goreme. I recommend trying their pottery-roasted meat and Turkish pizza, which are delicious and unforgettable. 2️⃣ Virtus Restaurant: This restaurant offers international cuisine with fresh ingredients and exquisite presentation. The restaurant's elegant and comfortable environment makes it an ideal place for a romantic dinner. I recommend trying their steak and seafood platter, which are rich in flavor and impressive. [Nearby Activities] There are many shops, restaurants, and cafes around the hotel to meet your needs. You can stroll through the town's streets to experience the local culture, or join a day tour to explore Cappadocia's unique landscapes and history. Sacred Mansion Hotel is not just a hotel but an unforgettable experience. Here, you can stay in a fairytale-like cave, taste delicious Turkish food, enjoy the magnificent scenery of Cappadocia, and feel the hospitality of the Turkish people. If you want a unique travel experience, come to Sacred Mansion Hotel. It will leave you with beautiful memories.

#travel #turkiye #cappadocia Staying in a cave hotel is an absolute must when visiting Cappadocia, and Sultan Cave Suites stood out as one of the most popular options when we researched for our trip. Upon arrival, the place was truly as wonderful as we had hoped. The staff were incredibly friendly and helpful, answering all our questions and guiding us to our incredible room. We actually stayed in a real cave! However, the highlight of staying at this hotel wasn’t just the beautiful room or exceptional service—it was the breathtaking view from one of the best spots in Cappadocia to watch the hot air balloons in the morning. We woke up very early to experience this magical activity, which is an absolute must when visiting the area. Hundreds of colorful hot air balloons floated gracefully in the sky above the ancient, picturesque buildings of Göreme. It was one of the most stunning scenes we’ve ever witnessed. Despite the cold morning air, it was completely worth it. (We were there in December)

#asiatrip Göreme, located in the heart of Turkey’s Cappadocia region, is a breathtaking destination known for its otherworldly landscapes, rich history, and warm hospitality. Nestled among fairy chimneys, rock-cut dwellings, and rolling valleys, the town offers a surreal blend of natural wonders and cultural heritage. The unique terrain of Göreme, formed over thousands of years through volcanic activity and erosion, is its defining feature. Visitors can explore the Göreme Open-Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, where ancient rock-hewn churches adorned with vibrant frescoes showcase early Christian art and history. The narrow pathways of the museum lead travelers through centuries-old religious sites, offering a glimpse into a bygone era. A highlight of any visit to Göreme is the iconic hot air balloon rides at sunrise. Floating above the valleys and chimneys, visitors are treated to panoramic views of the region bathed in golden light—a truly magical experience. For those preferring to stay grounded, hiking trails such as the Rose Valley and Pigeon Valley provide stunning vistas and opportunities to discover hidden caves and monasteries. Göreme is also known for its unique accommodations. Many hotels and guesthouses are carved directly into the rocks, offering travelers the rare opportunity to stay in cave dwellings with modern amenities. The town’s small but vibrant center is filled with local restaurants serving traditional Turkish dishes, shops selling handmade crafts, and friendly locals eager to share their culture. Despite its growing popularity, Göreme maintains an intimate and laid-back charm. Whether you’re an adventurer, history enthusiast, or simply seeking a tranquil escape, Göreme captivates with its natural beauty, historical richness, and unforgettable experiences. It’s a destination that lingers in the heart long after your visit.

#church Goreme Open-Air Museum is a group of rock churches in the mountains next to the town of Göreme. The original meaning of the word "Goreme" is "what you can't see". It was also the place where ancient Christians stayed to avoid being hunted down. Goreme is not only a United Nations World Cultural Heritage, but also one of the most popular attractions in Cappadocia👍 I originally thought I was going to see all kinds of rare treasures and rocks, but after the actual visit I found that it was a group of churches carved out of rocks. There are about 30 churches of various sizes, with many frescoes of great historical significance. It's great! But you are not allowed to take photos inside the church📷 This open-air museum can be visited even if you are not a Christian. The scenery is beautiful and good for taking photos.

[Turkey] Speaking of restaurants in Cappadocia, this is the place! Restaurant name: Sedef Located in the center of Goreme (^^) This is the restaurant recommended by the guided tour!!! It seems that you can't go wrong with this restaurant (^^) The price was reasonable and it was easy to get to♪ I was also satisfied to see the pot kebab performance up close. When they hit the lid with something like a knife, it feels like the pot breaks (^^) The meat was delicious too (^^) You should definitely try it (^^) #0 yen travel November #100 travel style #Cappadocia #Goreme

[Turkey] Introducing the best night view I've ever seen! The location is Sunset Point in Cappadocia!!! It's not the night view of buildings or factory lights, the light of the "cave" creates a great atmosphere♡ It's so fantastic that I want to look at it forever!!! If you go to Cappadocia, it's a must-see spot (^^) Next time, I'll visit Cappadocia just to see this night view!!! It's so beautiful that it can't be conveyed in a photo. If you see this photo, please come and visit!!! It's such a beautiful night view that I want to keep it all to myself!!! So I want to introduce it to you secretly (^^) lol There is a gate-like place on the way to Sunset Point. (See the 6th photo) You need to pay 20TL (about 90 yen) to pass through here. However, if you are staying above this gate, you don't need to pay. Also, there are no staff at the gates after 9pm (^^) There are some steep slopes, but even elderly people walk there, so it should be fine. #0yentravelNovember #100travelstyle #Cappadocia #Nightview

✨Cappadocia is located on the Anatolian Plateau in central Turkey. It is famous for its unique karst landforms, which look like artworks carefully carved by nature. Countless stone pillars, stalagmites, and chimney-shaped rocks present dreamlike colors in the morning and evening light. It also has a long history, with ancient cave churches and underground cities bearing the memory of Byzantine Christian culture. Legend has it that this was once the home of elves, and the mysterious atmosphere adds endless charm to it. 🌟[Must-see attractions]: - Goreme Open Air Museum: It is home to many cave churches with exquisite frescoes inside. The colors are still bright, and each one tells an ancient religious story. - Love Valley: Named after its unique heart-shaped rocks, it is a must-visit place for couples to stroll and feel the romantic atmosphere given by nature. - Sultan Cave Restaurant: A must-visit place to experience local cuisine. Dining in a cave and tasting authentic Turkish kebabs and special pot beef, the unique dining environment and delicious food are unforgettable. - Goreme Town: Colorful hot air balloons float over the town, and there are various specialty shops on the streets. It is very pleasant to buy souvenirs or just stroll around. 🎈[Travel tips]: It is recommended to spend 2–3 days here. On the first day, you can stroll around Goreme Town and get familiar with the surrounding environment; on the second day, take a hot air balloon ride in the morning to overlook the magical landforms of Cappadocia from the air (remember to book in advance); then choose one of the red/green/mixed lines to visit the Goreme Open Air Museum and Love Valley, learn about history and culture, and enjoy the natural scenery. You can also explore the underground city. You can adjust the order of your visit according to your preferences and booking situation, but it is best to arrange the hot air balloon ride on a sunny morning. 🏨[Accommodation tips]: - Sultan Cave Suites: The hotel itself is in a cave style, which is very experiential. The rooms are clean and comfortable, and some rooms have views of hot air balloons. - Cappadocia Cave Hotel: Cost-effective, convenient location, and hearty breakfast. You can enjoy a quiet accommodation environment here. 💌[Tips]: - Choose a regular company for hot air balloon rides, pay attention to safety, and check the weather in advance, as the ride may be canceled in bad weather. - Do not touch the frescoes in the cave churches and show respect. - The temperature difference between day and night is large, so remember to bring a thick coat. 🙋‍♀ More Turkey travel tips are coming soon Learn more about [Itinerary | Tour Dates | Registration]👇 Ball

UK student reading week trip to Turkey (return post)|||I went to Turkey with a good friend during reading week. The e-visa only took 10 minutes to apply for, and it wasn't too far away, so we both agreed on it. Because of the recent terrorist attack in Turkey, we were a little worried, so we decided to join a local tour group for some peace of mind. We didn't need to plan anything and could just relax and enjoy the trip. . We only had a week, so we only spent five days in two cities: Istanbul and Cappadocia. We visited some classic attractions, such as the Blue Mosque, Hagia Sophia, Basilica Cistern, and Goreme Town. We also tried some activities, such as a Bosphorus cruise, hot air balloon ride, and a ride in a popular vintage car. Overall, the five-day itinerary was well planned, and we had a great time! . 📝Some tips 1. Women need to wear a headscarf and cover their arms and legs when entering the Blue Mosque. 2. Students should bring their student ID cards, as many attractions offer discounts. 3. Don't exchange money at the airport, as the exchange rate is high. Wait until you get to the city center. 4. If you want to take a hot air balloon ride, book in advance and check the weather. 5. Watch out for dual pricing and don't get ripped off. 6. Bring a warm coat, as the temperature difference between morning and evening in Cappadocia is huge. It can be very cold in the morning when watching the hot air balloons. . 👉Tour experience We were satisfied with the whole trip. The car was a seven-seater, so we could sit or lie down comfortably. The driver drove steadily, and I didn't feel carsick at all. The hotels were star-rated and very clean, and we stayed in a cave hotel for one night. At the attractions, the guide would give us a brief introduction, and then we could take photos and check in at our own pace. It was very free and easy. If you're still wondering where to go during reading week, Turkey is a great choice!

If you come to Cappadocia, you want to stay in a cute cave hotel☺️ The hotel that will make that wish come true is Sultan Cave Suites in Goreme✨ Just the word cave hotel makes me excited, but the rooftop terrace here is cute🥹 I decided to stay after seeing this! By the way, when the hot air balloons fly in the morning, they leave breakfast (for photos) as a photo spot and you can take cute photos👍🏽 Also, there are a lot of hot air balloons flying near the hotel, so you can take some pretty impressive photos🥹 By the way, they seem to put LED candles on at night for events! It was my birthday, so they put them on special for me! The location is also great, as you can walk around the city◎ Please try staying there when you go to Cappadocia! 📍Sultan Cave Suites #0 yen travel autumn #hotel trip #breathtaking views #100 travel styles #Turkey #Cappadocia

1.2nd photo: Balloon tour 3rd photo: Horse riding tour 4.5th photo: Red tour 🟥 6.7th photo: Green tour 🟩 Day 1: Afternoon horse riding tour Day 2: Balloon tour, Red tour 🟥 Day 3: Green tour 🟩 Arrived in Cappadocia around noon✈️ If you have nothing to do until dinner... I recommend a horse riding tour that can be enjoyed for about 1-2 hours! Depending on the time of day, you may be able to see the sunset It was my first time riding a horse, but I enjoyed it very much💖 If you absolutely want to ride a hot air balloon, I recommend staying at least 2 nights. I visited in September, the best season, but considering that the hot air balloon did not fly on one of the three days, 2 nights is a must! If you can only participate in either the Red tour 🟥 or the Green tour 🟩!... I personally recommend the Red tour 🟥! Speaking of Cappadocia! That's because you'll visit many breathtaking views! However, I found that some tour companies offer a combined red and green tour on their websites, so that might be a good option lol It depends on the tour company's itinerary, but personally, I walked quite a bit at the Zelve Open Air Museum on the Red Tour and still felt tired until the next day, so if you're going to tour the museums, try not to do it on the same day as the balloon tour‼️ ⏩Details about the balloon tour, red tour🟥, and green tour🟩 are posted in other posts. #Cappadocia #100TravelStyles #MyTravelItinerary #Goreme
