Overview
The Cappadocia corporate trip is a multi-day programme with 2-4 nights' accommodation that tours the fairy chimneys, rock-cut churches and underground cities of the Cappadocia region, centred on Nevşehir, with a guide. Accommodation, the meals in the programme, museum entry and transport within the region are included; teams arriving by air are met at Kayseri or Nevşehir airport. It suits teams of 8-35 looking for an incentive trip that combines culture, nature and a shared experience.
What is in the programme?
The region's landforms were created as layers of volcanic tuff were worn away by wind and water. The programme begins at the Göreme Open-Air Museum, part of a UNESCO World Heritage site, where rock-cut churches and frescoes tell the story of monastic life in the region. In valleys such as Paşabağları and Devrent, the different shapes of the fairy chimneys can be seen, and the region is viewed from above from Uçhisar Castle.
At the Derinkuyu or Kaymaklı underground city, the group explores ventilation shafts, storerooms and the passages between levels. In the Ihlara Valley, on the Aksaray border, the group walks along the Melendiz Stream and visits the Selime Monastery at the end of the valley. In Avanos, on the banks of the Kızılırmak, participants try their hand at the wheel in a pottery workshop.
Highlights
- Rock-cut churches and frescoes at the Göreme Open-Air Museum
- A walk between the levels of the Derinkuyu or Kaymaklı underground city
- A streamside walk in the Ihlara Valley and the Selime Monastery
- A hands-on pottery workshop in Avanos as a team
Who Is It For?
It suits teams of 8-35 planning a sales reward trip, an executive gathering or a year-end incentive programme. The effort level is moderate; there is walking on uneven ground in the valleys, and the underground city involves narrow, low passages, so participants who are uncomfortable in enclosed spaces should be informed in advance.

FAQ
Two airports serve Cappadocia: Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) and Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV). Kayseri offers more flight options and usually more affordable tickets, but the transfer to the region takes 1-1.5 hours. Nevşehir is closer (30-40 minutes) but has fewer flight options. Transfers from both airports are arranged as part of the trip.
