Please tell me how to get from Istanbul to Cappadocia better?

@Georgiy: I agree with you. I don't understand tours at 3 AM... It's better to leave at 7 or 8 AM and arrive by lunch. In total, 3 days... Otherwise, how can you walk normally after a sleepless night? And here, 90% of the tours are like that... even those that are 150 km from Antalya. To make sure everyone has time to shop... or catch a plane... for those who aren't afraid to take an extra trip.

And what about by bus or train?

@1: Well, it's actually not a short distance, it's 700 km to drive. Do you really need it? Tickets inside are not that expensive, take a look.

@1: There don't seem to be any trains. Bus.

From 12 thousand rubles per person round trip, flight time is 1 hour and 20 minutes.

@1: We flew to Kayseri

@1: Take the bus. The buses here are good and comfortable - TVs, Wi-Fi, tea and coffee. It takes about 12 hours to travel. You'll get to see the country. And the cost is around 1,000 lira.

The simplest option is definitely by plane. You won't lose a couple of days on the road, and it's not that much more expensive.

@Georgiy: Well, what a couple of days? What are you talking about?

@Nastya: That going one way is a day and going back is also the same.

@Natali: About 12 hours. On good roads with beautiful views.

@Nastya: Well, isn't 12 hours a day of travel?

@Natali: No ) you can leave at night. And by morning or by lunch you will already be there.

@Nastya: There is a concept of "a day in transit" and "24 hours in transit." And it doesn't necessarily mean that a day has to be during the daytime.

@Natali: Here are the flights. The person got on the bus at 8 PM, let's say, and arrived in Nevsehir at 7 AM. Can we say that he spent the day traveling?

@Nastya: I already wrote to you. Yes, you could say that. But if it's so important for you to be right, I'll leave the last word to you.

@Nastya: This is for those lucky ones who can sleep on the bus...

@Nastya: Unfortunately, none of us can sleep like that, of course it depends on the person. There are 3-day tours. Departure at 7 in the morning, more or less. Then 2 nights in Cappadocia and 1.5 full days to walk around. Well, of course, those who can wake up at 2 and get on the bus at 3 and sleep on it can be envied. Although it will have its effects on them later... and all excursions almost start exactly like that.

@Nastya: Not everyone can sleep sitting up. This is not a full rest. A reclined seat is not a bed.

And to which city do we need to fly? But I still want to see the country. As someone whose commute from home to work took 40 hours, I'm not afraid of 700 km.

@1: You can type Cappadocia in Aviasales. The airport is Nevsehir, it’s right in it. But keep in mind that it's 700 km through the mountains. The journey is not easy at all)) We traveled from Geinyuk to Kas. The road is only 150 km. The roads seem good, it takes about 3 hours at a calm pace. But there are periodic winding roads, sometimes long, regular significant changes in altitude with corresponding ear pressure and so on.

@Olga: On long excursions, they usually visit a lot of places. How will you manage to visit everything in half a day? I think it's convenient to leave around 4 in the morning. Most people are sleeping, they wake up around 8 for breakfast, and then the program actually starts.

@Nastya: One day there, one day back. Night transfers are not that great; after them, you need to sleep during the day, there's no time to walk around. So, 2 days of travel are wasted. It's easier by plane, it's not that expensive.
