Cappadocia is easily reached by direct flights from Istanbul and there are plenty of coach services as well. Apart from 4 days of fulfilling orienteering in this “Stone forest”, a balon tour of this mystical region is a must. Don’t miss a tour of the unique Göreme open air museum with its churches from the first days of Christianity. And perhaps a night in one of the many “cave hotels” unique to this region… In brief, take this opportunity to combine orienteering, your favorite sport, with seeing this unique place of cultural heritage and natural beauty.

GETTING THERE By plane The fastest and most comfortable way of reaching Cappadocia is by plane. There are two main airports that you can use to reach Cappadocia. One of them is Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) located in Kayseri with nearly one hour drive to the center of Cappadocia region. The second one is to Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV). Turkish Airlines (THY or Anadolujet) and Pegasus Airlines operate frequent direct flights from Istanbul Atatürk Airport (IST) and İstanbul Sabiha Gökçen Airport (SAW) to Kayseri and to Nevşehir. It is easy to arrange transfer from these airports to any region in Cappadocia, or to rent a car. On local flights run by Turkish Airlines transportation of bikes up to 22 kilos is free of charge. By bus Most of the bus companies have coach services to Nevşehir and Göreme. By bus it takes you 12 hours from İstanbul and 5 hours from Ankara.
