    This agency moves the balloon to a distant canyon if it is canceled due to weather, they DO NOT return the money.

    Due to the weather, the balloon could not be done and the agency moved it to Ihlara, which is 85km, more than 1 hour from Capadoccia and is a canyon that people told us is not worth it, we paid €250 per person, I was traveling with adults older and the transfer was very difficult, they did not return even part of the money because in its closure it indicates that there is no refund if the balloon cannot be done but if it is moved to another location, what it does not say is that it is so far and which is not worth it because it is a closed canyon, the price is not the same. On the tours ALL the people told us that they DID get their money back, of course none of them were with Enka Travel. Do not put your money at risk, most agencies do return your money and indicate it in their clause.

    You Must Experience!

    This trip was by far one of the best experiences for me. I highly recommend this trip. To be completely honest this experience would not have been what it was for me without these two beautiful ladies Aygul and Aruz who organized my experience. I was there to celebrate my birthday and they went above and beyond. I am truly grateful for their support. The MDC hotel is one of the best cave hotels in Cappadocia. The staff/co-owner are very gracious. Especially the head waiter. He was/is very kind and skilled in Hospitality. He deserves a raise and so does everyone else! Thank you for this beautiful experience 💖🥰💖🥰

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for your valuable comment. We are happy to host you. Kind regards, Berkay Karanfil

    Spectacular Enka Travel Experience

    We had a 2-day tour to Cappadocia from Istanbul and did the hot air balloon ride. This was an absolutely amazing experience. Enka Travel is extremely well organised! The drivers were all professional and safe, our tour guide KC was extremely knowledgeable and pleasant to interact with and the tour agent Aygul was always available (even at 11pm!!) and super efficient. Our accommodation was booked at the MDC Cave Hotel. This hotel is luxurious and beautiful! The staff went above and beyond to ensure we had a pleasant stay. Overall, this tour is great value for money. There are many agencies offering this type of tour but Enka Travel really made it worth it. Cappadocia is a magical place but the tour guides and organisational aspects of the tour make or break it and Enka Travel’s team really made it a memorable experience.

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for your valuable comment. We are happy to host you. Kind regards, Berkay Karanfil

    Amazing because of Aygul's hospitality

    What can I say. Aygul made this trip the most amazing, easy and organized trip ever. She always answered all my questions very fast. She would also check on me every opportunity to make sure I was ok. This contributed to my great experience and thus this is one trip that I will remember for the rest of my life. Thank you so much Aygul for making this one of the easiest and best trips ever.

    Response from the operator: Hello, thank you very much for your valuable comment. We look forward to seeing you again. Best regards, Berkay Karanfil

    2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya: questions travelers ask

    Practical detail on this experience, plus the wider planning questions for Istanbul.

    How much does 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya cost?

    +

    Prices start at $638 per person. The final price depends on the date, the time slot and the number of travelers, and peak weekends in Istanbul usually price higher than midweek mornings. Live pricing and remaining availability are confirmed on the booking screen before you pay.

    How long does 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya take?

    +

    Plan for about 48 hours from start to finish, not counting travel to the meeting point. Most travelers leave another 30 minutes on either side so the rest of the day in Istanbul is not rushed.

    Is 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya worth it?

    +

    It holds an Outty Ranking of 66 out of 100, which we label "Solid Choice". That score blends traveler sentiment (4.7/5 across 12 reviews), the depth of that review evidence, recent booking momentum, value for money against comparable last minute in Istanbul, and how flexible the cancellation terms are.

    Can I cancel or reschedule 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya?

    +

    Yes. Cancel free up to 24 hours before the start time for a full refund. Inside that window the booking is non-refundable, and no-shows are not refunded.

    Is 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya suitable for kids and families?

    +

    Yes, all ages are welcome. Families should still weigh the 48-hour running time, and strollers are easier on the earlier, quieter departures.

    How far in advance should I book 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya?

    +

    Around 4 people booked this in the last 30 days, so popular slots go early. Two to three weeks ahead is comfortable in shoulder season, while summer weekends and holidays in Istanbul can sell out a month out. Same-day spots do open up when other travelers cancel, so it is worth checking if you are already in town.

    What should I bring or wear?

    +

    Bring photo ID, your booking confirmation on your phone, a refillable water bottle and comfortable shoes. Dress for the weather in Istanbul and add a light layer if any part of the 48-hour experience runs outdoors or after sunset.

    Where does 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya start and how do I get there?

    +

    The exact meeting point and directions are on your voucher once you book, and they sit in central Istanbul within reach of public transport. Arrive 15 minutes early: late arrivals are treated as no-shows by most operators.

    What are the best things to do in Istanbul?

    +

    On Outty we rank every Istanbul experience on the same 0 to 100 scale, and alongside this one the highest scorers right now include Princes Islands Blue Journey from Old City Istanbul, Famous Istanbul Pub Crawl #1 Nightlife Experience, Best of Istanbul 1, 2 or 3-Day Private Guided Istanbul Tour. The city page groups everything into most popular, highest reviewed, last minute and family-friendly so you can build a day around what actually delivers.

    When is the best time to visit Istanbul?

    +

    Booking patterns follow the same curve: prices and queues climb in peak weeks, while shoulder season gives you better availability on the top-ranked experiences and more room to change plans.

    How many days do you need in Istanbul?

    +

    Three full days covers the headline sights without sprinting. A workable rhythm is one anchor experience each morning, such as this one, an unhurried afternoon in a single neighborhood, then a food or nightlife booking in the evening. Five days lets you add a day trip outside the city.

    Do I book through Outty or through the operator?

    +

    Outty ranks and explains the experiences, then hands you to Viator to complete the booking with the operator directly. The price is the same as booking on Viator yourself, and Outty earns an affiliate commission on the referral, which is how the rankings stay free to read.

    What is included in 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya?

    +

    Included: Cave Room Accommodation; Cappadocia Transfers; Live private support throughout the tour; Lunch; and Flight Tickets. Always check the voucher for the final list before you travel.

    Does 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya include hotel pickup?

    +

    Yes, pickup is offered for every traveler from 12 listed pickup locations in and around Istanbul. Be ready about 120 minutes before the start time. You can also enter a custom pickup address when booking.

    What languages is 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya offered in?

    +

    It is offered in English and Spanish. Pick your language when choosing a date and time, as not every departure runs in every language.

    Will I get instant confirmation and a mobile ticket for 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya?

    +

    Confirmation is sent by the operator after booking, usually within 48 hours; if it is not confirmed you are not charged. Mobile tickets are accepted, so you can show the voucher on your phone.

    What happens to 2 Days Cappadocia Tour from Istanbul and ending Antalya if the weather is bad?

    +

    It generally runs rain or shine, so dress for the forecast in Istanbul. Standard cancellation terms apply: free cancellation up to 24 hours before the start.
