Excursion organized by Hiro Tour (near the bus station )

(Valley of the pigeons, Underground city, Ilhara valley, Agzikarahan Caravanserai, Avanos Pottery, Sunset .)

Very good excursion. Nearly 200 km traversed. Cappadocce is very large, it is appropriate to find a means of moving. The excursion is one, the hiring of vehicle in is another.

Ilhara valley Ilhara valley

Way Göreme - Alep (14 hours)

Possibility of reserving the way at Kent travel . 3 Changes of vehicle  : Göreme - Kayseri by car, Kayseri - Antioche by Bus and Antioche - Alep by Bus.

Caution  : it is less expensive to make Göreme - Antioche, and in Antioche to change for Alep.

I suspect Kent Travel of calling upon another company ( Ipek ) and of taking his commission.

Crossing the border : No problem. Avoid going to the Syrian toilet, prices are a little expensive for the service.
