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!
5 Days Cappadocia City & Cooking Adventure – Nevşehir Highlights (Group Tour)
Highlights of the 5‑Day Cappadocia City & Cooking Adventure
Begin your journey at Kayseri Airport and settle into a comfortable hotel in Nevşehir, the gateway to Cappadocia’s surreal landscape. Day two unveils the region’s most iconic sites: the remarkably preserved Ozkonak Underground City, the panoramic views from Uchisar Castle, the fresco‑rich Göreme Open‑Air Museum, and the abandoned cave dwellings of Çavuşin. After a lunch stop in Avanos (lunch at your own expense), you’ll watch master potters shape clay, then wander among the three‑headed fairy chimneys of Paşabağ and the animal‑shaped rocks of Devrent Valley, finishing with a wine tasting in Ürgüp and a photo stop at the famed Three Beauties.
The third day adds a flavorful twist. Under the guidance of a local chef, you’ll learn to prepare traditional Cappadocian dishes that blend Turkish, Anatolian and Hittite influences, together with salads and desserts. After enjoying the meal you helped create, the afternoon brings free time for shopping in the city center before you return to the hotel.
Day four offers a soothing contrast with a visit to a traditional Turkish hamam, where Roman‑inspired hot, warm and cold rooms provide a rejuvenating ritual. The final morning allows a relaxed breakfast before a comfortable transfer back to Kayseri Airport, leaving you with lasting memories of Cappadocia’s unique culture, cuisine and natural wonders.
The package includes four nights in a hotel in Nevşehir with daily breakfast, one local lunch on the cooking day, arrival and departure airport transfers, and three fully guided days – the city tour, the cooking lesson and shopping tour, and the Turkish bath tour – led by professional English-speaking guides in an air-conditioned, non-smoking coach. Entrance fees mentioned in the itinerary and hotel, tour and transfer taxes are covered, while flights and insurance are not.

What Our Travellers Say
Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
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!
