#Goreme Town Travel Recommendations for 2024 (Updated in May)
Incredible sunrise in Cappadocia
This morning was one of the most magical in my life. I woke up at 4 a.m., opened the window and listened to the sounds outside. It seems quiet… When suddenly the sounds of popping and gas burners began to be heard in the distance - and I realized that it was time to hurry!
Just an hour later, I was standing on top of a mountain in the city of Goreme and watched the sky fill with dozens and hundreds of balloons. God, am I really seeing this with my own eyes? To this day, when I remember this feeling, I get goosebumps 😍

Missing Cappadocia so much!
Cappadocia was such a lovely place! Beautiful scenery and weather mashaAllah. I’d go again and again, and hope I could afford to ride the hot air balloon 🎈 next time 🤣
Goreme
Göreme is a village of around 2,000 people in Nevşehir province in Central Anatolia. It is well known for its ''fairy chimneys', rock formations, many of which were hollowed out in the Middle Ages to create houses, churches and 'underground cities'. Göreme was formerly known as Korama, Matiana, Macan and Avcilar.
Come to Goreme, Turkey, and experience the thrilling ATV ride
Goreme, a small town in Turkey, is known as an open-air museum, a World Cultural and Natural Heritage site, famous for its unique landscape and romantic hot air balloons, attracting tourists from all over the world.
The town now exists for tourism, with various specialty shops and well-developed, safe tour routes. You can idle in a cave hotel or freely explore the national geological park. You can also join a day tour, among which, besides hot air balloons, the ATV Tour is undoubtedly the most popular activity.
🌟Highlights:
ATV, also known as an all-terrain vehicle, has a cool design and is suitable for any terrain. The downside is that speed and balance must be properly controlled, especially when turning or going uphill or downhill.
You can choose to rent and drive on your own, but most people prefer to join a tour group. The sunset route is the most popular; departing in the afternoon is neither hot nor tiring. You can experience speed and passion along with the tour, meandering through the strangely shaped valleys, stopping occasionally to take photos, beautiful, lively, and safe.
Especially when returning after watching the sunset, all the teams converge on one road, marching in a grand procession, which is spectacular!
💰Price: 180RMB for one person per vehicle, 220RMB for two people per vehicle (for reference only)
🕙Duration: About 2-3 hours
🗓Approximate Itinerary:
1. Wait at the hotel, the driver will pick you up and take you to the starting point. A group usually consists of about 10 vehicles, generally two people per vehicle.
2. After arriving at the company, you will be assigned masks and helmets, and you can choose your vehicle and get accustomed to it.
3. Departure, the route includes brief stops at about 5 points, with the climax being the sunset, where you can admire the golden Rose Valley under the afterglow and a 360-degree panoramic view.
4. After watching, regroup and ride back to the starting point. It is customary to open a bottle of champagne to celebrate, and finally, you will be taken back to your hotel.
📝Tips:
1. Masks and sunglasses are a must because the route is dusty;
2. No matter the season, it's best to wear a thin jacket, as it can be a bit chilly in the morning and evening.
3. Pay special attention when turning or going uphill, as the front of the vehicle is heavy and lacks agility. Be cautious with the brakes or steering to avoid drifting and potential accidents.
Hot air balloons in Cappadocia, Turkey in winter
In Turkey, I think the most romantic thing is to ride a hot air balloon to appreciate the karst landscape, but because the starting rate of hot air balloons in winter is very low, I will share some tips.
The first and most important thing is luck. Some people stay for several days without catching up, but if you want to increase the probability of catching up with the hot air balloon, the best way is to book for more than two nights. In addition to watching hot air balloons, staying for three days and two nights in Cappadocia will not be boring. There are many other good attractions here, such as underground cities, Uchisar Castle, and you can also walk to appreciate Rose Valley and so on.
The second is that you can pay attention to some predicting bloggers in the past. They will have a rough estimate of whether the hot air balloon will take off within a week. Although it is not very accurate, it can also be used as an auxiliary judgment.
About the choice of hotel: Stay in Goreme, it is very convenient to book hot air balloon and other projects here. The accommodation here is very expensive. We chose a semi-cave hotel with a higher cost performance. The reason why it is called a semi-cave is because it is a hotel built by relying on a cave, which is very clean and warm. You can overlook the town from the hillside.
About the price of hot air balloons: It will fluctuate at any time every day. We booked it for 60 euros per person. Although it is not the cheapest, the experience of less than twenty people in a frame is quite good. The off-season price is really cheap.
Finally, I wish everyone a great luck.
🇹🇷🌄Stroll through GOREME, Cappadocia!
#2024wish
In 2023, I got to visit the beautiful town of Goreme in Türkiye! 🇹🇷
Goreme is home to Cappadocia’s famous “fairy chimneys”, which are rock structures that have pointed tops. 🌄
The streets wind through the rocky hills, with many homes and structures being carved into the white limestone.🏠
Restaurants and hotels are plentiful, and you can easily find them while walking through the streets of Goreme. 🏨🥙
I hope I can visit beautiful Goreme again in 2024! 🤩🇹🇷

BE ABROADABLE - Nat the Expat Turkey | Super romantic hot air balloon experience
| Super romantic hot air balloon experience.
Cappadocia, the most moon-like place in the world, humming "Take you to romantic Turkey", the picture that immediately comes to mind must be the magical cave stone houses of Cappadocia, the flying house tour of colorful hot air balloons in the sky, the candlelight dinner in the open-air restaurant of Goreme Town, and the sunrise and sunset of the moon surface in the Rose Valley.
When you come to Cappadocia, don't miss the hot air balloon. You can enjoy the sunrise on the spectacular terrain and watch the amazing panoramic natural landscape.
In the early morning, take a hot air balloon, listen to the sound of the flame burning and the sun slowly rising together, overlooking the alien world of various rock structures into chimney-like structures with the first ray of morning light, colorful hot air balloons spread with the light of sunrise Full of the sky, below is the vast earth with ravines, and the honeycomb-like terrain looks as magnificent as the moon's surface from the air.
As the hot air balloon gradually rises, the scene is very spectacular, things on the ground start to become smaller and smaller, the scenery starts to become different, and the field of vision becomes wider. Hundreds of years ago, a volcanic eruption created this unique lunar-like terrain on the earth, which was rated as one of the top ten planetary beauties by National Geographic.
Tips:
Hot air balloons are very dependent on the weather, they cannot fly in rainy or windy days, or when the cloud layer is thick, so summer is a good travel time, the sunrise is early, the wind is mild, the weather is not cold, it is a good season for hot air balloons!
I watched a hot air balloon sunrise in Cappadocia with my dog
Seven years later, I returned to the romantic Cappadocia. The scenery is still beautiful, but the prices have skyrocketed.
🚗Transportation: Fly domestically to Istanbul, Turkey, then transfer to domestic flights to Kayseri or Nevsehir, and then transfer from the two airports to the town of Goreme by minibus. If you can take a night bus, you can also take a night bus from Istanbul to Goreme.
🏠Accommodation: As the water rises, the boat rises. The price of a slightly nicer terrace hotel is basically between 150-300 euros. There are also more economical ordinary hotels, 50-60 euros. If you have a budget, it is recommended to go directly to the terrace hotel, which can take very good photos.
🪀Entertainment: Hot air balloons are probably a must-play project for many people. Now it has risen to 200-300 euros. There are also MTVs, and you can rent a classic car for a ride.
🍜Catering: There are several Chinese restaurants, with an average cost of about 150, which is acceptable in the scenic area.
📷Photo check-in points: Search for sunset point on Google Maps, the fee is 10 lira, you can't go up the mountain, you can see the whole town of Goreme. The sunset is very photogenic, the sunrise hot air balloon is even more photogenic, you have to get up at 5 o'clock for the sunrise, wear more clothes, it's cold!

🇹🇷The most lunar-like place on Earth, this is a unique destination with a landscape similar to the moon and one of the top ten natural wonders on Earth - Cappadocia.
🇹🇷The mountains of Cappadocia undulate, with gullies crisscrossing and forests of stone pillars stretching as far as the eye can see. Over a thousand caves have been carved into the rocky hills. In addition to these surface landscapes, there are more than 30 excavated underground cities. The Cappadocian people used these natural pillars to build houses, hollowing out almost all of the stone pillars, laying floors on the ground, painting murals on the ceilings, as if returning to the life of primitive cave dwellers.

So beautiful it takes your breath away.
✈️Went to Gréme to play, then flew to London and landed at Kaiseli Airport, and then had the hotel arrange a car to pick us up to the hotel.
🏨The hotel we stayed in was Lunar Hotel. The hotel has a lawn which is quite beautiful, but it's too humid and the sound insulation is a bit poor. This hotel is adjacent to the popular hotels Sudan and Mithra Cave Hotel. One morning, besides taking photos of hot air balloons on the rooftop of our hotel, we also went to the Mithra rooftop to take some pictures.
🍴The restaurant to check in is Seten, with a great view, suitable for going at night. The dishes are not bad but not particularly delicious. We also went to Meihua Chinese Restaurant, and the taste was okay. The prices are really much cheaper than London. The price of a French meal here can match the price of a dish in a London Chinese restaurant.
🚗In the small town of Greyme, you don't need transportation, you can walk everywhere unless you're going to a tourist attraction, but usually they provide shuttle services.
🎡We played and went on a hot air balloon ride. The second batch of Butterfly House is open to both the first and second batches, and you can also watch the sunrise in the second batch. The whole hot air balloon ride is quite stable, but it goes up and down intermittently. If you are afraid of heights, don't worry too much. You can book through 🍑 and Shangzhi Travel is reliable. We also went to play with the sunset 🌄 in an old-fashioned car. If you are afraid of dirt and sand, don't play ATV, it's really dirty. Playing with the old-fashioned car will also leave you covered in sand and tangled hair.
In short, Grayme is still worth playing. The main activity is to chase the sunrise and sunset in various ways. We didn't go to the famous Red and Green Line because it was too hot and sunny, and we didn't want to walk outdoors. The vintage cars and hot air balloons are enough to appreciate the geological landscape of Cappadocia.
So beautiful it takes your breath away.

Turkey's beautiful secret, look at the hot air balloon hand in hand! The romantic value is
Goreme is a small town, the stone cottage is hidden between the mountains, and the woolen carpet is matched with the Ottoman court. If you go to the terrace early, you can see the hot air balloon flying all over the sky.
They are slowly floating in the gorge, the colorful looks like fruit candy, and they will pause for a while, and hide and seek in the fairy chimney. Slowly, it will fly to the canyon with the wind, standing on it, overlooking the majestic landscape of the whole town.
Tips: If you want to take a hot air balloon, remember to book in advance. If the weather is not allowed, you can't take off, or you have to look at luck. If you can't take a ride, you can also go to the rooftop of the hotel, overlooking the mountains and hot air balloons, and the dreams are wonderful.
Goreme is the core town of Cappadocia and the base for this area. This is where you can take a romantic "Turkish hot air balloon". The peculiar landscape of
Cappadocia was formed by volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. The
volcanic erupted magma cools and then solidifies into a weatherable rock formation with plasticity, while the harder basaltic volcanic rock then covers the soft weathered rock formation.
When time passes, the weathered rock formation is washed away, and the upper hard basaltic volcanic rock is still standing upright, and the mushroom head landscape appears.
I stood by the canyon and watched the hot air balloon drifting around, feeling like it was in a huge dream.
In the early hours of the morning, as the time goes by, the sun moves slowly, and the gorgeous gold is more and more eye-catching, and the scope of the spread is getting bigger and bigger. The whole day of the West has been dyed into eye-catching gold, such as the nice satin that has just been rendered, smooth and beautiful. Another example is the lava mouth at the time of the volcanic eruption. A large piece of red gold flows like a lava, and after the sun falls to the opposite hill, it leaves a burst of light.
The moment the sun was hidden under the horizon, the whole city suddenly quieted down, inexplicably quiet. Like the clockwork that has been tightened, the rotation returns to the original position, and the sound is silenced. It is like a bright candle. The last drop of wax oil burns out, and it is like a silent silence. It is also like Europe in the 1930s and 1940s. The silent film, the shadow of the jumping picture is silent.
Goreme's ceramic village, going to the open-air museum, passes through here. There is a tree filled with ceramics and blue-eyed trees at the door. It has become a must-have place and is also suitable for taking pictures.
The whole village is full of pottery, so it is called the ceramic village, and the village is very close to the towns of Goreme.
Gregory in winter is colder, but it is recommended to wear a down jacket outside the skirt and take off the jacket to take pictures.
There are a lot of souvenirs sold in the town of Goreme, and it is necessary to bargain to buy something that is cheap and good. It is much cheaper than that factory.
Personally feel that the best thing to look at is this light, took a lot of photos, how to take away when you find a treasure has the same paragraph! Its too omnipotent.
Then I bought a small gift for my friend, and found it in the back, made in China,
food is not shot, in Turkey, I eat barbecue every day.
It is better to take a hot air balloon than to watch a hot air balloon. At four o'clock we were excited to get up. At 4:30, there was a special company to send a car to the hotel to carry us. I originally planned to book a hot air balloon for the Royal, but unfortunately there was no place for three consecutive days. In the end we chose the word of mouth is also one of the best butterfly. Royal and butterfly are the heads of the hot air balloon company, the two most expensive, 130 euros.
Both of them are the most perfect in terms of pilots, equipment, technology and services, so we did not hesitate to choose them. Want to be cheaper, there are some small companies with 80, 90 euros and so on.
can be booked online in advance, or you can consult the hotel directly and ask for help when you arrive. Comparing the price, the on-site booking is slightly cheaper than the online booking fee of tens of RMB. However, the bad place is to encounter the tourist season, like me, I can't book the hot air balloon of the royal family!
