Popular around Nevsehir City: Nevşehir Castle, the Damat İbrahim Paşa (Kurşunlu) Mosque complex, the Nevşehir Museum and nearby Uçhisar and Kaymaklı.
Your driver takes you to these places and waits at every stop, so you can combine them as you like.
The centrepiece of the complex built in the early 18th century by Grand Vizier Damat İbrahim Pasha, who rebuilt his native village of Muşkara as Nevşehir, the "new city". The mosque takes its name from its lead-covered dome and is surrounded by a madrasa, library, soup kitchen and hamam.
This Seljuk-era castle crowns the highest hill in the city and gives a bird's-eye view over Nevşehir and the surrounding plateau. In 2014, building works on the slopes around it uncovered a vast underground city.
Just south of Gülşehir, this Byzantine-era site consists of groups of rock-cut buildings with façades decorated with columns and arches, thought to have been a monastery or a caravan stop. Also known for its mushroom-shaped fairy chimney, it is a calm stop that the big tour groups rarely visit.
A two-storey church carved into the rock at the edge of Gülşehir, whose upper level has early 13th-century frescoes including a striking Last Judgment. Its well-preserved colours make it a rewarding short stop for anyone interested in Cappadocian painting.
A sprawling underground city beneath the town, with four levels open to visitors and storerooms, kitchens, stables and a church linked by low, narrow tunnels. Some of the houses above still use the old passages as cellars and storerooms.
The dervish lodge in the town of Hacıbektaş where the 13th-century mystic Hacı Bektaş Veli lived and is buried, now open as a museum. It is a place of deep importance for the Bektashi and Alevi traditions, with commemorations held every year in mid-August.

At your hotel, villa or any address in Nevsehir City. Enter it as the pickup location when booking; the driver waits for you at every stop during the package.
Uçhisar Castle is about 10 km by road from Nevsehir City (20 km there and back). The 2 hours / 40 km package covers the trip, including about an hour there.
Yes. Nevsehir Cappadocia Airport (NAV) to Nevsehir City is about 29 km, ~30 minutes; see the NAV to Nevsehir City transfer page for the fixed price.
Nevşehir Castle, on the hill above the city, gives a wide view over the town and the surrounding plain. The mosque complex with its madrasa and fountains, built by Grand Vizier Damat İbrahim Pasha, who is regarded as the city's founder, carries the marks of the Ottoman Tulip Era. The driver takes you to the castle and the complex in turn and waits at each, so you can see the centre without tiring yourself on the steep streets.
Yes. Nevşehir sits at the start of the road south to Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu, and Uçhisar and Göreme are a short drive away. That makes it easy to visit an underground city in the morning and the fairy-chimney valleys in the afternoon, and be back in town by evening. Staying in the city also means supermarkets, pharmacies and restaurants are close at hand in the evening.
Yes. The driver takes you between meetings, university visits or appointments at public offices and waits at each address until you are done. You never have to look for parking or call a separate taxi for every stop. If your appointments finish early, you can use the remaining time to stop in Uçhisar and end the day with a view.
Yes. Açıksaray, north of Nevşehir, is an intriguing site with façades carved into the rock, and a quiet stop that big tour groups rarely include. In Gülşehir, on the Kızılırmak river, you will find the Karşı Kilise (Church of St John), known for its well-preserved frescoes. Both lie in the same direction, so they combine easily in one outing.
Yes. The Göreme Open-Air Museum, Paşabağ, Zelve, Çavuşin and Avanos sit close together, so they fit naturally into one hourly booking. You decide the order and how long to stay at each stop, and the driver waits wherever you are. There are no fixed shopping stops and no waiting for other passengers, and you can pull over at any viewpoint that catches your eye.
