Luxury holidays in Cappadocia

When to go

July and August are the hottest months – for cooler weather (and fewer hovering hot-air balloons) visit outside of the summer. If you like your lunar landscapes snow-capped, book a trip between December and February, when things get even more surreal (and snowy).

Getting there

• Planes

  Most international arrivals will have to change in Istanbul for a domestic flight to either Kayseri (an hour and a half from Cappadocia) and Nevsehir (40 minutes away).

• Automobiles

  Unsurprisingly, there’s not much public transport out here on the moon – the best thing to do is hire either a car or your own driver. If you’re planning on staying in and around your hotel, book a transfer and arrange all of your activities from there.
