Things to do in Central Anatolia Region

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? 😊

It was nice joining red tour with Feruan, our tour guide. He explained everything clearly and always wait for everyone patiently and the most important he communicate with us and make sure we have a good experience!

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! 🎈

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 driver name is tahir, he is such a nice guy and really pro photographer. he explains all about cappadocia. worth to try jeep tour if u hve a much time in cappadocia. for me better to choose 2hours jeep safari.

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.

If you're going to book a tour, this is definitely the one! It was the best tour with everything packed in ✨. I recommend checking the weather forecast carefully and booking on a sunny day. After a three-day trip, I realized that you should definitely participate in a tour when you come to Cappadocia! I toured Cappadocia for 3 days, and I participated in this Red & Green Tour on the 2nd day. Cappadocia has attractions scattered at distances that you cannot walk to, so it was really great that they took us to all of them by car. The lunch that came with it was a buffet where I could enjoy Turkish cuisine. At the tableware shop we stopped by, a Turkish person who could speak Japanese naturally came up to us, captured our hearts, and successfully got us to buy something ^ ^ I was also allowed to experience pottery making. (I was the chosen one!) The guide was very kind and understanding to us, even though our English was poor, and we were able to understand the nuances. The Taiwanese couple who toured with us were also very kind, and we had a great time taking pictures of each other and talking. We stayed at two hotels, and they separated the pick-up and drop-off hotels and carried our suitcases, which reduced the effort of moving, killing three birds with one stone! I was worried about participating in this tour because there was little information, but it was 100 out of 100! I hope this review will catch the eye of someone who is having trouble because they don't have enough information ✨.
