Starting and ending in Goreme, the "Walking In Cappadocia" trip is a guided walking trip that takes 8 days. You will travel through Kaymakli, Cappadocia, Bozdag and 3 other destinations in Turkey. "Walking In Cappadocia" is a small group trip which includes accommodation in hotels, transport, meals and others.

Turkey has long been underrated as a trekking destination, but with the fairytale rock chimneys of Cappadocia rising majestically from an otherworldly landscape, it should not be overlooked. This unique landscape was formed by the eruptions of three volcanoes, Erciyes, Hasan and Melendiz, which created one of the most distinctive landscapes in the world. The great walking and staggering scenery of this region make for a highly memorable trip.
