Cappadocia’s climate exhibits dramatic temperature swings from day to night, adding to its allure as each season unfolds after sunset.

When traveling to Cappadocia, it is essential to pack appropriate clothing and gear. Even during the summer, it is advisable to bring more than just t-shirts and shorts, as the nights can become chilly even in the midst of the day. Particularly for early morning hot air balloon rides, the temperatures are still cool, and being elevated above the ground intensifies the sensation.

While Cappadocia sees the highest influx of visitors during the summer months, its captivating sights attract tourists from around the world throughout the year.

Although summer may be crowded, it is not the optimal season to visit Cappadocia. The arid climate makes it challenging to find respite from the sun, and the lack of cloud cover, high temperatures, and absence of breeze often lead to sunburns and other skin issues among visitors.

It is always advisable for travelers to carry water with them to stay hydrated and refreshed throughout their explorations.

If you are seeking the driest months and gentle breezes, summer is the ideal time to experience captivating hot air balloon rides over the mesmerizing landscapes of Cappadocia.

Zelve Open-Air Museum

Following its use as a monastery from the 9th to the 13th century, Zelve was transformed into a community. These days, the sinewy valley walls of the valley, topped with knobbly rock antennae, make for an incredibly picturesque place to go exploring.

The valleys were inhabited until 1952, when it was decided that they were too dangerous to live in and the villagers were resettled a few kilometers away in Aktepe, also known as Yeni Zelve. Since then, the valleys have remained uninhabited. Although erosion is continuing to eat away at the valley structures and certain areas are cordoned off due to rockfalls, there is an excellent walking trail that loops around the valleys, providing access to the various caverns. The impressive Üzümlü Kilise (Grape Church) and the neighboring Balkli Kilise (Fish Church), which features fish as a subject in one of the primitive paintings, are both located in Valley One. Valley One is also home to the old deirmen (mill), which features a grindstone. A modest rock-cut mosque with few embellishments may be seen in Valley Three.

Ihlara Valley

An important city among the canyons all over the world is located in the Ihlara Valley, which is located within the confines of the Güzelyurt District in the Aksaray Province.

18 km. Ihlara Valley has the distinction of being the largest canyon in the world where people live in historical periods. Unlike other canyons, Ihlara Valley has an area that is 150 meters in depth, 200 meters in width, and thousands of living spaces in its structure. This gives it the distinction of being the largest canyon in the world. The Melendiz River, which helps to form the Ihlara Valley and provides life to the area, is the primary driver of biological activity in this region. Ihlara Valley is widely regarded as one of the most significant cultural and historical hubs in all of human history as a result of the presence of hundreds of rock carvings and churches that were carved out of the natural rock formations that surround the valley.

Kayseri

Outstanding Seljuk Turkish architecture (from the 1100s to the 1200s) and attractive bazaars may be seen in the historic city of Kayseri (KA-ee-seh-ree, Caesarea; elevation: 3458 feet/1054 meters; population: 900,000). Kayseri is located on the eastern side of Cappadocia (map).

Kayseri’s old houses, which are located in the shadow of Erciyes Da (Mount Aergeus, 3916 meters; 12,848 ft), stand in stark contrast to the glittering ski slopes that can be seen on Erciyes.

In contrast to the bright volcanic tufa used in the construction of buildings in Cappadocia, the majority of the historic structures in Kayseri are formed of gloomy, black volcanic stone.

However, the Citadel of Kayseri as well as its Great Mosques and Medreses continue to be outstanding examples of Seljuk Turkish Art. This is a rundown of the attractions and activities available.

If you are staying in Ürgüp, Goreme, or one of the other towns in Cappadocia, you may take a minibus or drive yourself to Kayseri and visit the majority of the city’s attractions during a morning or afternoon trip (map). The Hilton Kayseri Hotel is the most recommended spot to stay during your visit.

In Turkey, the people of Kayseri are well-known for their commercial savvy, or, to put it another way, they have a reputation for being shrewd businesspeople. However, if you go to the city’s two old market buildings, the Bedesten and the Vezir Han, both of which are located close to the Ulu Cami (Great Mosque) in the city center, you will discover that the people there are quite friendly.
