This was my first Exodus trip and I was very impressed with the whole holiday.

The organisation was first class and I can't praise our Trip Leader enough.

Nothing was too much trouble and everything was done with a smile.

If anyone wants a first class holiday with mind blowing scenery then Cappadocia must come top of your list of treks.

A very enjoyable week in a unique area,local people were welcoming and all the food provided varied and tasty.

Five of the walks were 5*, day 3 Kavac to Bahceli had to much road walking though the first rest stop and final village were worth visiting,manageable walks for first timers like ourselves.

A good mixed group.

The only small disappointment was the accommodation not as described,we stayed at Goreme, hotel Matiasos ,it was clean,good staff,good breakfast but no bar or public area to chill out, also bathroom to small to dry yourself with towel.

We arrived in Cavusin after 2 flights, with Turkish airways, that were on time, comfortable and with good food.

Our hotel 'Green Hotel', was just opposite a 'fairy chimney' of incredible beauty.

Our room wasn' t the better one that the Hotel had but it was nevertheless comfortable with ensuite shower.

The people there did their utmost to welcome us and the new chef's food was glorious.

Our guide Omer was a lovely fellow,with a good sense of humor, good English and with plenty of knowledge of the local history.

The walks were varied and interesting, not tiring at all and we were lucky to have wonderfully warm days with blue skies.

For me the best of the walks were through the red valley and Ihlara valley ,my wife also liked the first one very much :the Akvadi and up to Uchisar: spectacular views at the top !But we both were thrilled with our first Hot Air balloon flight, in perfect weather with a perfectionist Pilot that landed the basket onto the waiting trailer!!! Amazing.

A totally unique landscape which is a "Must See" if you want something different.

The walks are mostly in valleys and are easy.

We've never seen so many caves! This is the true way to see Turkey and meet the people, who are very friendly and welcoming.

Don't expect to loose weight though - the traditional food is very tasty and plentiful! less....

Probably a day too long - walks were not varied enough to support so many days.

Guide was good.

Evening food was fine, altho the menu was almost always the same.

Picnic lunch one day was a nice variation.

Green Hotel was not really up to 3 star standard, rooms were good size but were rather basic.

Breakfasts at the hotel were very basic and not 3 star standard.

Hotel staff were attentive and tried to help when asked for assistance.

Bus was good and comfortable.

This is a great trip and we had a lovely group.

I travelled from the end of April to early May.

The weather was great.

Although rain and storms were forecasted while I was there, we had beautiful sunshine with some picturesque white clouds (look great on my pictures) and it was quite hot so make sure you take your sunscreen and a sunhat.

Mornings were a bit chillier but not too cold and the weather warmed up quickly during the day.

If you are considering the ballooning, take some warmer clothes too.

The walks were lovely and all quite different.

We saw some interesting rock formations on the way, not to mention the stunning landscapes.

Some of the walks are flat while others are quite steep and slippery so good walking boots and walking poles come handy.

Don't underestimate a moderate trip.

Water from a big water container was provided on the bus as well as in the hotel.

Make sure you have your own bottle so you can keep refilling it.

If you have a hiking hydration bladder bag, that is the best to take.

We also stopped at little local cafes during our walks.

My favourite was the freshly squeezed orange and pomegranate juice (mixed).

Make sure you try that! Our leader was a character, entertaining, knowledgeable and helpful.

The locals are friendly.

The hotel was 3 star, a bit tired but for only 10 minutes walk from the town so it was convenient, we could easily walk there for some souvenir shopping in our free time.

All meals were included on my tour and the portions were generous.

Lucky we did all that walking!! If you are considering doing this trip, I recommend budgeting in the balloon ride.

It is such an amazing experience.

I am afraid of heights and I was a bit worried but it is so relaxing up there with such a wonderful view that I even forgot about feeling scared.

A very enjoyable holiday with not to harduous walks.

You soon get used to the early morning calls provided by the call to morning prayer and low flying hot air balloons.
