The practical Cappadocia guide

Kayseri or Nevşehir Airport?

Two airports. One Cappadocia trip.

Start with the airport code on your ticket: Kayseri is ASR; Nevşehir Kapadokya is NAV. Cappadocia is a region, so your accommodation town matters as much as the airport name.

These are approximate direct road estimates, not shuttle schedules. Weather, traffic, hotel location and shared-shuttle stops can add time. Distances and journey times to Ürgüp, Avanos or other towns differ; check your own route. See example road estimates ↗

Airport transport options

Pre-booked shared shuttle, private transfer and taxi are options; verify availability for your flight and exact hotel. A city-bound airport bus is not automatically a hotel shuttle. Compare total cost and confirm pickup instructions before booking. For arrivals, see our NAV to Göreme and ASR to Göreme guides.

Compare the whole journey

Look at the available flights, total ticket cost, arrival time and onward transport together. A convenient flight with a confirmed transfer can be more useful than choosing an airport by proximity alone.

Before buying your flight

• Check which airport each flight actually uses, including your return.
• Confirm your hotel’s town and exact address.
• Ask the transport provider whether your specific flight is served.
• For a late arrival, check hotel reception arrangements.

Arrival and departure can use different airports

Keep each leg’s airport, flight number and date separate when booking transport. Do not assume the return flight departs from the airport where you arrived.
