If you are planning to visit the region called Cappadocia from Istanbul by train:The overnight train arrives at 08.30 at Ankara. There is no train to Nevsehir the capital of the Region called Cappadocia but bus.There is every 2 hour busfrom Ankara to Nevsehir. 09:00, 11.00, 13.00, 15:00, 1830. The bus company is Nevtur or Nevsehirliler. Tel. number: 0212-4445050 It takes 5 hours. The other touristic towns around Nevsehir are, Urgup, Goreme, Uc Hisar, Avanos. Avanos is a little faraway. It takes half our from nevsehir to Urgup and goreme. I advice you to take the bus at 15:00 from Ankara. In the mean time you can visit the "Anadolu Medeniyetleri Muzesi" the Museum of Anatolian Civilizations, It is a must. Here you can see the 5000 year old masterpieces of Hittite and other civilizations. Anit Kabir the Mouseleum of Mustafa Kemal Ataturk is also a must to visit. After your arrival to...
Around Nevsehir Ili by bus
by Kuznetsov_Sergey
If you have enough time, walking is your best option in Nevsehir Ili. Walking also provides excellent views of the surrounding canyons, which are sights themselves. Available for rent are mountain bikes, scooters, motorcycles and all terrain quads. Dolmus service also runs approx. every hour to nearby cities like Nevsehir, Avanos and Urgup. My stay there was very short and I enjoyed excellent views of Cappadocia out of a bus window, haha!

from Istanbul to Nevshehir
by mindcrime
by planeThe easiest way to reach Cappadocia region is by plane. In 90’ you will be at the airport of Kayseri. The distance for Goreme/Urgup in big enough so the air companies have private buses that will take you to/from the airport with a small fee if you book in advance. I think the ticket costs 10YTL(6euro) but of course you can take a taxi to/from Goreme or Urgup but it will cost you more. For the bus you can visit Argeus Tours office at Urgup, call at +90 384 3414688 or visit their site :www.argeus.com.trBy busA night bus from Istanbul is a good option also. It will take about 10 hours to Nevsehir and then a free shuttle bus will take you to your final destination (Goreme, Urgup etc). Don’t forget to tell your final destination when you book your bus ticket in the first place otherwise you will have to find a local bus on your own and you will be tired without a reason although...

hot air balloon rides
by mindcrime
Many say that flying with a hot air balloon over Cappadocia is amazing. It is beautiful, this is true! But! Try to do it the first day you visit the area otherwise you wont be so surprised of the landscape if you have already done some tour around. The unique landscape will give you the opportunity for some great photos but what I liked most was looking at the other balloons everywhere around.The only problem is that one hour ride with a balloon costs 150euro per person! If it’s ok for you here’s the details:There are many companies in the area, all with the same price. After a small research I found that there were no accident in Cappadocia the last years. I guess it has to do with their policy to cancel the flights when the weather is not good. Bad weather means some wind that will drive the balloon away from Cappadocia. In case you don’t know it the balloon goes where the wind blows...

how to move around
by mindcrime
carIf you have your own car you will enjoy Cappadocia, going everywhere easily because you have to reach different parts of the region. I dint see many gas stations though and the locals told me it’s not cheap but I don’t really know because I don’t drive.local busesThere are many local buses from Nevsehir to any destination of the region. Nobody stays in Nevsehir though. I was staying in Goreme and there were some buses for all the main villages and valleys but not so many. daily toursAll the travel agents of the area (in Goreme, Urgup etc) have at least two different daily tours, usually one for the SW part of Cappadocia and one for the NE part. Usually, a daily tour includes a visit to one underground city, one hike in a valley (3-7km), a monastery, photo stops along the way, shopping stops(in Avanos for pottery demonstration, in Uchisar for wine tasting etc) and a lunch in a nice...
Getting there
by SirRichard
You can fly directly to Kaysehir, the nearest airport, or to Ankara and from there take a bus. If you wanna come by bus from Istanbul, take a night bus, it's a long trip.
