Long day trip from Antalya but worth seeing this unique landscape. Bus was comfortable and we had good rest stops along the way. Underground city and fairy chimneys were highlights of the tour.
Early start but we saw everything on the itinerary. Guide was knowledgable and lunch was included.
Good option to see Cappadocia from Antalya without overnight stay. Journey was long but comfortable with air conditioning. Pottery workshop and underground city visit were educational. Got back to Antalya late evening but it was manageable day trip.
