Things to do in Central Anatolia Region

Booked this horseback riding experience less than 2 hours before, and it exceeded my expectations. My horse, Amina, was calm and easy to ride. Walking through Love Valley was absolutely beautiful! The views were spectacular and peaceful. Special thanks to Mohammed, who took amazing photos and videos of us during the ride. Truly appreciated! Highly recommended.

Hot air balloon – although the weather was not good and flights were unable to operate in Göreme, where we stayed, the admin contacted me promptly and explained the available options. I’m glad I made the right choice to take the hot air balloon ride in Soğanlı Valley. Flying at –2°C and about 1,500 meters above the ground was truly an unforgettable experience — absolutely wow! A bucket-list dream of riding a hot air balloon has finally been achieved. The hot air balloon guide and flight crew were very nice and friendly. The pilot explained the surroundings to us while we were in the air, which made the experience even more enjoyable. The landing was super smooth, though getting out of the balloon basket was a bit of a struggle — even for a tall girl like me! Overall, it was a wonderful experience and ended nicely with a celebratory glass of juice. Do get the video package too! Worth it lah, guys — it’s a once-in-a-lifetime experience, so why not? 😊

Our hot air balloon ride was absolutely exhilarating! They pick you up before sunrise, and in the winter it’s a little later which honestly worked out perfectly 😂. The balloon pilots were fantastic: super experienced, friendly, and reassuring. As someone who was having second thoughts (scaredy cat here 🙋‍♀️), I felt completely safe and well-informed the entire time. They made the whole experience smooth and enjoyable from start to finish. The landing was so smooth,hardly noticed it! We did a selfie with them,they were so cool! There’s an option to purchase an Insta360 video for $30, but we decided to skip it. Even without it, the views were incredible floating over the valley was magical and unlike anything I’ve ever seen. Overall, 10/10 would recommend. A definite must do! 🎈

We booked tours with the same travel company twice for the green and red tour and they didnt dissapoint us at all. The tours always come with lunch but this restaurant that we visited during our red tour actually surpassed my expectation. The view and the food were incredible! and its already included too in the tour fee.

The Klook Pass Turkey is an exceptional choice for exploring Istanbul and Cappadocia. With seamless entry to iconic sites like Hagia Sophia, it offers both convenience and value. The Red Tour in Cappadocia is well-organized, covering breathtaking valleys and historical sites with expert guides. The Bosphorus Dinner Cruise is a magical experience—gliding between continents with live entertainment and delicious food. Every detail is thoughtfully arranged, saving time and enhancing the journey. It’s perfect for travelers who want a hassle-free and unforgettable trip. Highly recommended for anyone wanting to experience the best of Turkey with ease, comfort, and memorable moments.

Green tour has a lot of hiking and walking. It’s more exhausting than red tour but it’s interesting to discover the underground city and caves. Our tour guide is very nice and friendly. Also thankful to our driver for the safe trip.

Our guide Fatih was awesome, he explained the geology and history of places we went to. The lunch was good as well (soup, salad and one main). The tour was amazing and the underground city was very interesting. It does have some shopping stops however (which is typical of tour groups in touristy areas) - but the staff are not extremely pushy in sales.

⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ Amazing 2-Hour ATV Experience! We had an amazing time on the 2-hour ATV ride! The pickup was perfectly on time, and the driver was very friendly and professional. From start to finish, everything was well organized. The ride itself was so much fun, and the views were absolutely stunning — the valleys looked breathtaking and made the whole experience even more special. Truly unforgettable! Highly recommended for anyone visiting the area.

I really enjoyed this tour! The hospitality was on another level compared to most places in Turkey. Jacob was incredibly knowledgeable about the history and facts of his hometown, and you can truly feel his passion for it. Our driver made sure we arrive on time and there was no rush, so that was a plus!The sights were absolutely breathtaking, and the lunch was very delicious. If I could make one small suggestion, it would be for the local tourist area to be kept cleaner…there was quite a bit of trash, which is sad and takes away from the beautiful scenery. This has nothing to do with our tour though; our tour itself was fantastic! Highly recommended!
