Nevşehir Cappadocia Airport (NAV) to Ihlara Valley: Transfer & Walking Tips
Of all the places we serve from Nevşehir Cappadocia Airport (NAV), Ihlara Valley is among the farthest: about 90 km, or around 80 minutes by private car, in neighbouring Aksaray province. The drive heads south through Nevşehir and Derinkuyu before crossing into Aksaray towards Güzelyurt. The canyon itself follows the Melendiz stream from Ihlara village to Selime, beneath the twin peaks of Mount Hasan. Coming from Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) would mean a longer trip of about 150 km and 130 minutes.
Day Trip or Overnight?
Many travellers keep their hotel in Göreme or Uçhisar and visit Ihlara for the day, often together with Derinkuyu, with a driver booked by the hour. Staying a night in the valley lets you walk in the cool of the morning before the tour groups arrive.
Selime Monastery
At the far end of the valley, the monastery is carved into the cliff above Selime village, with kitchens, halls and a church cut from the rock. The climb up is short but steep, so wear shoes with good grip.
Accommodation in the valley is limited to a handful of pensions in Ihlara, Belisırma and Selime, plus stone guesthouses in nearby Güzelyurt. Give us the exact name when booking, as addresses in these small villages are not always easy to find. Heading home from NAV, allow 3 h 30 min between leaving the valley and a domestic departure, or 4 h 30 min for an international one.

How does a one-way walk with an hourly driver work?
The driver drops you at the main stairway near Ihlara village, then drives round to meet you in Belisırma or Selime at the time you agree. Let the driver know by phone if you are running late or decide to finish earlier.
How long is the Ihlara Valley walk?
The most popular stretch, from the main stairway to Belisırma, is an easy riverside walk of a few hours including stops at the churches. Continuing all the way to Selime turns it into a full-day hike.
When is the best season to walk the valley?
Spring and autumn are ideal, with mild temperatures and fresh colours along the stream. Summer is pleasant thanks to the shade of the poplars, while in winter the steps can be icy.
Which churches should we look out for?
Several churches near the main path can be visited on the valley ticket, among them the frescoed Ağaçaltı, Yılanlı and Sümbüllü churches. A small torch or your phone light helps in the darker interiors.
What else is there to see near Ihlara?
Güzelyurt, an old stone town with rock-cut churches of its own, is a short drive away, and the Narlıgöl crater lake is close by. The dormant volcano Mount Hasan dominates the horizon.
Is Ihlara Valley suitable for children?
Yes, the riverside path is mostly flat and shady, and children enjoy the stream and the cave churches. The long stairway at the entrance is the hardest part, so take it at a gentle pace.
Where does the driver meet me at Nevsehir Cappadocia Airport (NAV)?
After baggage claim and customs, your driver waits at the arrivals exit, holding a Vixride sign with your name and helps with your luggage. Before landing you receive the driver's phone number, licence plate and the exact meeting point by WhatsApp.
What if my flight is delayed?
We track the flight number you give at booking, so the driver follows your actual landing time and a delay costs nothing extra. 60 minutes of free waiting from landing are included, enough for passport control and baggage claim.
When and how do I pay?
Nothing is paid in advance. You pay the driver in the vehicle on the day of the transfer, in cash (EUR, USD, GBP or TRY) or by credit card.
Can I cancel or change my booking?
Yes, cancellation and changes are free. Nothing is prepaid, so there is nothing to refund; please let us know at least 24 hours before pickup so we can reassign the vehicle.

Economy Sedan (Mercedes E-Class): 3 passengers, 2 large suitcases; FirstClass Van (Mercedes Vito): 6 passengers, 6 large suitcases; Vip Sprinter (Mercedes Sprinter): 16 passengers, 16 large suitcases. Groups larger than 16 are split across several vehicles.
