One week is not enough for the mysterious Cappadocia. There are various advantages of visiting Cappadocia in winter, for example, no tourists, no overpriced hotels, no crowded restaurants, all views are reserved for you. Once you land, you may find out the air balloon does not fly every day due to the wind, then ask yourself what is the point to visit Cappadocia? This is place has so much more to offer, I cannot even believe how awesome it was for the days' heavy snow covering those rock houses and large round stones. Goreme is the heart and most populated area in the region, get ready to sleep in the ancient cave hotel, sit on sultan carpet and have a breakfast buffet on the rooftop with a paranormal view. Still, get up as early as possible to snapshot the sunrise before birds start to sing. No frequent schedule for a shuttle to attractions, taxi is the best and only option to visit those Instagram-able attractions, like Open Air Museum, Fairy Chimney, Rose Valley, etc. Do not want to spend a penny for taxi? Then expect to walk at least an hour in the cold wind. Not recommended to join the green or red tour, do not waste your money on them. Once get off the taxi, you will feel isolated from everything, beware to get the driver's contact or make up a meetup time for return. Turkish men are very friendly, especially when they are selling you stuff, they make you tea and coffee, and bring you some handmade carpets to check. Sultan Carpets is the shop with most-taken Instagram pictures, but they start to charge you some for only a snapshot. In all, Cappadocia is a miracle and everyone should make a go.
