This three‑day itinerary immerses you in the heart of Central Anatolia. Begin with a comfortable transfer from Nevşehir Airport to Aksaray, where you settle into a welcoming hotel. The following day you will step into the monumental Sultanhani Caravanserai, a fortress‑like stopover that once served Silk Road traders, and admire its grand portal and surrounding arcade. A short walk brings you to the historic Ulu Mosque, an elegant example of Seljuk religious architecture.
After a leisurely lunch and some free time in Aksaray’s bustling centre, the tour climbs toward Hasan Mountain. Rising to about 3,000 m, this volcanic peak offers spectacular panoramas and opportunities for light trekking, mountain‑bike rides, or simply enjoying the alpine scenery. The day continues with a journey to the Ihlara Valley, a 14‑kilometre gorge carved into volcanic rock, where early Christians hollowed out churches adorned with vivid frescoes. Strolling along the river‑bank trail, you will discover several of these hidden sanctuaries, each telling a story of faith and art.
On the final morning, after a hearty breakfast, you will check out and be transferred back to Nevşehir Airport for your onward travel. Throughout the tour, a professional English‑speaking guide provides insight into the region’s history, culture, and natural wonders, while all entrance fees to the sites mentioned are included.

My husband and I chose Inca Tour for our honeymoon and we are so glad we did. The boutique hotel selection was beautiful and the Bosphorus dinner cruise was so romantic. Thank you for making our trip special!
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
