Goreme Hostels - Online Hostel Booking for goreme, Turkey Hostels

Goreme is a town in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. The town is centered in the middle of a internationally popular region that is best known for its natural rock formations, often called fairy chimneys.

Goreme has a wide selection of natural and cultural wonders. Simply walking through the village you will be amazed at the bizarre fairy chimney rocks cut naturally by the wind and rain.

The Goreme Open Air Museum (entry 10 YTL per person) has a great collection of caves and fairy chimneys. If you have 2-3 hours, that should be plenty to walk to the Open Air Museum from Goreme center and to get back in time for dinner.

Several tour operators offer a one day package that includes a stop at a caravansari, one of the amazing underground cities, a walk through the ancient churches decorated with frescoes, and finally a stop at a carpet/pottery/oynx shop. These one day tours are excellent and worth the money, as they include admission. Avoid buying at the shops, however, as you pay 2-3 times higher through commissions.

Balloon Rides - are one of the most popular activities in Goreme. Typically lifting off at sunrise, these rides last around 45 minutes and literally go wherever the wind may blow in the Cappadocia Valley. The balloon carriages hold around ten people with the pilot riding air currents much like a boat, floating down the valleys, often below the ridge line and quite close to the chimney rocks. Its a fantastic ride and if youve ever had the urge to splurge on a balloon ride (approx. ?110), this would be the place to do it. Several hot air balloon companies offer dawn balloon rides, claiming they are better than anywhere else in the world. Ask around about safety records, as some operators are better than others. Operators include:

Hiking - Following the paths along the valleys is an amazing (and free) option. Check with your hotel owner or the tourist office for a map of the area with suggested walks and trails. There are several nice loops on packed dirt, sand and rock, that maintain a constant elevation and pass through the scenic valleys.
