The temperature will start dropping significantly in November and winter will last throughout March. With little rain, you can pretty much schedule your visit any time between April and October, even during the hotter months of July and August.

The cheapest way to travel is by an overnight bus whose journey could take up to 12 hours. You will depart from Istanbul's main Esenler Otogar (Esenler Coach Terminal) and arrive at Nevşehir Otogar. From there, depending on which part of Cappadocia you want to visit, you will need to choose your preferred transport accordingly.

The least expensive option is to travel by bus, but it requires extensive knowledge of where you're heading next as well as your time since buses run on an hourly basis. Though substantially more expensive, renting a car or a scooter is the most ideal way to get from one valley to another underground city. Joining a tour is the most vital alternative if you are also looking for a fixed itinerary.

Hot air balloon booking service is ubiquitous in Cappadocia. You are highly recommended to book directly with local agencies or at your hotel as they will show you a variety of options as well as flight duration, time, price, and availability.

There are a lot of activities you can do while in Cappadocia. From hiking through the valleys, horseback and camel riding, joining a pottery-making class, to simply driving from one site to another, enjoying a picnic, or watching sunrise and sunset. The experience varies significantly throughout the day depending on what you want to do.
