Most amazing day! I did the overnight- no sleep- express version of Cappadocia by myself (woman). I got picked up at my hotel in Istanbul at midnight, got a flight to Cappadocia, drove around to cave hotels in the dark to pick up others for AM balloon ride. It was awesome, what an experience. Beware the landing though! After that the rest of the day was a private tour through the Goeme Valley and its ancient excavations in the rock by Huddities and monks, we could climb the rocks. Saw a beautiful pottery studio and try my hand at it, took a horseback ride with a guide in the amazing landscape, when to a leather shop and got my own private fashion show and bought a so soft lamb skin jacket, had lunch with my guide and driver at a local cafe…. What a day! The guide was amazing, and I felt totally comfortable all day. I was nervous about a day trip alone but it was great! I’m was back at the airport at about 7pm but then my flight was delayed back to Istanbul til midnight but Turco was there when I arrive to get me back to the hotel. I 100 percent recommend Turco and Kamran (my guide). It’s a long day but worth it!
