Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) is the closest airport to the fairy chimneys. It lies near Gülşehir on the north-western edge of the region, about 40 km from Göreme, and mainly serves Turkish Airlines and Pegasus flights from Istanbul.
It is a small airport with a single terminal, so there is no queue at arrivals. Your driver stands at the exit with a name sign, and within 40 minutes you are at your hotel in Göreme, Uçhisar or Ürgüp.
Because the airport is in open countryside there are no taxis waiting on demand and no public bus into the towns. Booking a transfer before you land is the practical choice, especially for evening arrivals.

The route

Avanos, known for its pottery workshops, is reached by a short detour north across the Kızılırmak river, and Ürgüp is a few minutes beyond Göreme on the eastern side.
On the way
- Uçhisar Castle, the natural rock citadel that marks the entrance to Göreme
- Pigeon Valley viewpoint, just off the road between Uçhisar and Göreme
- The Kızılırmak, Turkey's longest river, on the way to Avanos
- Early-morning balloon traffic over the Göreme valleys

Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) is the busiest gateway to Cappadocia, with direct flights from Istanbul, Izmir, Antalya and several European cities. The airport sits about 75 km east of Göreme, and there is no train or metro link, so almost every visitor arrives by road.
Antalya to Cappadocia Transfer
Antalya and Cappadocia are the two most visited regions of Turkey, and many travellers combine the Mediterranean coast with the fairy chimneys. The distance is about 530 km, and a private transfer turns the journey into a comfortable day on the road with no bus stations, transfers or waiting.
Cappadocia to Pamukkale Transfer
Pamukkale's white travertine terraces and the ancient city of Hierapolis are the natural next stop after Cappadocia on a classic Turkey itinerary. The two are about 630 km apart, and there is no direct flight or train, so most visitors either take a long night bus or book a private transfer.

Konya, the city of Rumi and the whirling dervishes, is the closest major city west of Cappadocia and a natural stop on the way to Pamukkale or the Mediterranean coast. The drive from Göreme is about 230 km and takes around 3 hours.
