Private 8-Day Cappadocia & Black Sea: Cave Hotels, Hot Air Balloons, Sümela & Ayder
Overview
Fairy chimneys and cave hotels in Cappadocia, then misty plateaus and tea gardens on the Black Sea – an 8-day private tour that joins Central and Northeastern Turkey with one domestic flight. Very few companies combine these two regions; most travellers see only one of them.
Your own licensed guide every day: every departure includes a private, licensed English-speaking guide plus a private vehicle and driver – only your group, never strangers. Prices are per person and get lower the more people travel together (1 to 8 travellers).
You start at Kayseri Airport (ASR) for Cappadocia and finish at Trabzon Airport (TZX). Each region has its own private driver, and departures run every day from mid-May to mid-October.
Highlights
- Cappadocia – Göreme Open-Air Museum (UNESCO), Paşabağ and Devrent valleys, Avanos pottery and an optional hot air balloon at sunrise.
- Kaymaklı underground city and a gentle walk in Ihlara Valley.
- Sümela Monastery, Uzungöl and the Ayder Plateau on the Black Sea.
Entrance fees: not included, so you only pay for the sites you want. We recommend the Museum Pass Türkiye (about €165 per person), which covers most museums and archaeological sites on this route.
