Walking and Exploring Cappadocia Traveller Reviews

We had two days in Ankara, where we had a really thorough visit to the wonderful museum; then two days in Bogazkoy, which allowed us superb early morning access to the Hittite sites of Yazilikaya & Hattusha, then a week in Uchisar, where we walked everyday in the extraordinary scenery of Cappadocia, and visited lovely churches cut from the rocks. Each evening we had new & fascinating restaurants to visit. All-in-all a grand trip. Our archaeologist guide was superb - especially in the churches of Cappadocia.

Small specialist company, taking small groups on archaeologically focused trips, while also ensuring that you stay in lovely hotels & eat great food.

I find it hard to summarize this tour as two entirely different worlds are being put I find it hard to summarize this tour as two entirely different worlds are being put together, yet tied by strange and unexpected links. Nota's knowledge however is absolutely brilliant. Bringing the huge and really ancient site like Hattusha to life in combination with the artefacts from the museums is quite an achievement. Travelling through Cappadocia, Nota definitely found a way to explain this complex Byzantine art in such a way that it sticks to the mind. Amazing! The walks were a real treat; not too strenuous, not too long and well paced. This is exactly what I expected to find in the Cappadocian landscape. The utter silence of the place with only the rustling of the leaves, the murmur of the streams and the song of an occasional bird. All in all, a wonderful experience that I can highly recommend!

Excellent guiding and clear explanations. Nota always made sure we really understood the meaning and/or importance of each place where we stopped. Yet the programme was never overloaded and always well balanced.
