Private 8-Day Cappadocia & Black Sea: Cave Hotel, Sumela & Ayder
Overview
Every departure includes your own licensed English-speaking guide plus a private vehicle and driver – only your group. Price per person drops as your group grows (1–8 travellers). Fairy chimneys and cave hotels in Cappadocia, then misty plateaus and tea gardens on the Black Sea – an 8-day private tour joining Central and Northeastern Turkey with one domestic flight. Very few companies combine these two regions. Start at Kayseri Airport for three nights in a Cappadocia cave hotel (optional sunrise balloon, Göreme Open-Air Museum, Kaymaklı underground city, Ihlara Valley), fly to Trabzon and continue to Sümela Monastery, Uzungöl, the Ayder Plateau and Fırtına Valley. Each region has its own private driver. The Kayseri–Trabzon flight (usually via Istanbul) and the balloon are not included; we can book them. The order can be reversed. Entrance fees are not included; we recommend the Museum Pass Türkiye (about €165 per person).
