When you arrive in Cappadocia,
how do you go from the airport to your
hotel?
Several Cappadocian travel agencies
operate airport shuttle vans that
can take you from Kayseri's Erkilet
Airport (ASR) or Nevsehir's Kapadokya
Airport (NEV) right to your hotel.
The shuttles go to all the towns
of Cappadocia, and offer the most
convenient and cost-effective way to
travel between airport and hotel.
Argeus
Tourism & Travel operates
the official Turkish
Airlines shuttle service.
Peerless Travel operates
the official shuttle service for Onur
Air, Pegasus
Airlines, and Sun
Express.
Travel time to/from
both of Cappadocia's airports depends
on the number and location of hotel
stops. Coming from the airport,
if yours is the first hotel, the trip
should take about one hour to/from
either airport. If yours is the last
hotel, more like 1-1/2 hours.
It's best to reserve
your seat(s) in advance if
possible, as the shuttles are sometimes
fully booked.
If you arrive without
a shuttle reservation and want a shuttle
seat, look for the drivers
and guides—the ones holding
the paper signs with passengers' names
on them—and ask if there's
room in their van.
You needn't take
the shuttle designated for your airline. That
is, if you arrive on Onur
Air, you
can still buy a seat in the Turkish
Airlines shuttle
van, and vice-versa, if there is a
seat available. Any shuttle will happily
accept any passenger so long as seats
are available.
Of course there are also taxis at
the airport that will take you directly
to your hotel in a shorter amount of
time, but the fare is many times that
of the shuttle vans.
You can also rent a car at
the airport and drive to your hotel,
but I don't recommend this. Shuttle
fares are reasonable and the driver
is a professional who knows the location
of all the Cappadocian towns and hotels.
He won't get lost. You may. Let him
or her take you to your hotel, then
rent a car after you're settled in.
The rental agent is probably willing
to bring the car right to your hotel.
