top three things to do in cappadocia

Cappadocia feels like:

a. it is located in the middle of nowhere
b. it belongs in a star wars movie

But I can honestly say that there is something about this magical town in Turkey and it is definitely not to be missed.



Here are the top three things to do in Cappadocia:

1. ATV Quad Bike Ride
It's a great way to cover the rocky landscape and marvel at the geological wonders found here and get up close. Mostly though it is a whole lot of fun.





2. Hot Air Ballon Ride

There.are.no.words. JUST GO!

There is a reason hot air ballon rides are the most popular activity in Cappadocia- it's the perfect surrounding to be experienced from way above with a majestic sunset as the backdrop. You have to wake up about 5am and prices can be costly, but you are guaranteed an experience definitely worth remembering. Easily one of the main highlights of my trip to Turkey. 

DIP TIP: Opt for a more established hot air ballon company, this may not be the cheapest option but you will get an experienced pilot and that makes a huge difference. Also be sure to book in advance. This can be arranged at your hotel usually a day before. 





3. Stay In A Cave Hotel

You won't get to experience sleeping in a comfortable cave anywhere else in the world. And no it's not tacky or a tourists cliche, it's traditional and the service in Cappadocia is genuine and warm. In fact many of these cave hotels are family run.

DIP Recommends: Divan Cave House, a great option with an even better view.
