We travelled around Turkey and Syria. Cappadocia was a real hyghlight. The tours were incredibly informative and staying in a cave room was fantastic. Thank you for all of your help and advice. We will definately return again... ...
Antalya has no train service, so the best choices for making the 586-km (364-mile) trip are...
1)By Bus Overnight buses run between Antalya and Nevsehir, about 9 or 10 hours. From Nevsehir, you continue to your Cappadocian town by shuttle minibus (servis). You might also decide to take a bus to Konya, see the sights there, spend the night, and continue to your destination the next day.
2)By Car The 586-km (364-mile) drive takes between 8 and 9 hours, depending on how you drive, how often you stop, and whether you are going north uphill to Konya or south down the mountains to Antalya. Its an interesting ride, along the ancient Silk Road past the Sultanhani and other Seljuk Turkish caravanserais to Konya (good for a meal or overnight stop), then through mountain country down to the Mediterranean coast.
3)By Plane Some days direct flight avaliable from Antalya to Cappadocia. But mostly you can not find direct flight. Than you should get flight via Istanbul. The flights take about 90 minutes each, but getting to the airport, checking in, passing through security, boarding, transferring, waiting again, flying again, collecting your luggage and transferring from the airport to your hotel can add up almost to the time it takes to go by bus or car. There are flights between Antalya and Ankara. Then you must take a bus or drive from Ankara to Cappadocia.
