Trip to Cappadocia

[M n M]

Anyone interested in going on a four day tour to Cappadocia?
We are planning to go on this trip from Kalkan on the 10th November 2008, and wondered if anyone would like to join us.
The first day we would travel up to Konya, visiting the Dervish Museum and the Ottoman Camel Caravan site on the old silk road. Then on to Cappadocia, where we will spend three nights in a hotel (B and B basis), and visit several of the important historic sites.
Our bus driver would act as guide as he knows the area very well.
Price - 250YTL per person to include all travel and hotel costs, daily excursions (excluding any entrance fees)
Also there is a Turkish evening in a cave, cost is 15YTL per person which includes all local drinks and mezes.

Now your making me sad again..... Just flew back last Sunday and am already missing things. No more hols to spare until New Year but would have loved it, always fancied that area. What a good deal as well.

Are you planning any more Lycian way walks this winter? Pete and I would love to come, especially if it''s over new year.

Cheers

Hi MnM

Kind Regards: Lynn

Sorry you won''t be able to make the trip Bevjam, but hope we will meet you on walks in the New Year.

Glad you and Lynn can make it Buster, we are collecting money on a first come, first serve basis.

Looking at our Rough Guide, it says that the Dervish Museum in Konya isn''t open on a Monday.

Will check on that, but if it is right, we may have to alter the date to Tuesday 11th November.

Will let everyone know when we find out.

Sorry for going off the thread but what is Lycian Walk?

[Chucky]

Lougie,
If you look further down this section, you will see the thread titled "Walking on the Lycian Way" which will answer your question.
M and M
How are you getting on with the organising of the Trip?
It sounds great.
How many spare seats are there left and do people have to let you know by a certain date?

[foreverkalkan]

I would love to do that trip, can''t make that date though, we''ll be there for a week in august then on the 29th December for another week.....I''ll keep a look out for any trips for then....

Hi Joan.
Yes, all going well with bookings for the trip.
Twelve people have booked so far, so trip definitely on.
We are still going on the 10th November, but we have extended it to five days, four nights, as the extra day only costs another 40YTL per person.
We have several options for transport, and can take up to 30 people.
Total cost now is 170YTL for all transport, and 120YTL for hotel per person.
There has been a lot of interest, not surprising with that price. Although we haven''t had many replies on the forum, we have had people telephoning from the UK and e-mails too.
Not really a time limit as such, but once people have paid for the transport, their place is definitely booked.
Thanks for your interest Joan.

Hi MnM

Have just heard about your trip to Cappadocia and would love to join you.  I have been given your mobile number, & will ring later to arrange getting the payment to you, if you still have places?

Sorry if this is not the way things are done, I''''m very new to this

Hi MnM

Do you still have space on your trip for another 2 people?  We stayed in Urgup last December for 4 nights but would love to go back and see more, the area is fascinating. I especially enjoyed the underground cities
of Derinkuyu and Kaymakli and just looking at the amazing landscape of the area.  Sadly didn''t do any walking last time as didn''t have walking boots etc with us but it looked a wonderful hiking area.

Hi Gladys and Mel
Yes, there is still room on the trip for three more.
We have quite a lot of names of interested people, but as we have said the people who pay for their seat on the bus will definitely be going.
Look forward to meeting you, will arrange the time and place.
There is an option to do a couple of valley walks in this area and they sound very picturesque. Just need adequate footwear.

Hi everyone.

Having had such a lot of interest in this trip, we have now moved up to a 30 seater bus, so now we have more seats available.

Anyone else interested, please get in touch.

Look forward to hearing from you.

Just a quick note to say that we are definitely going on the 10th November until the 14th November inc.
In accordance with Turkish law, everyone going on the trip will need to take their passports to book into the hotel.
All times and pick up points will be arranged nearer to the time.

Just a little information for those people who have booked on the Cappadocia trip in November.

The Cappadocia Palace Hotel have confirmed the booking, but unfortunately the price is now 35ytl per person per night.(140ytl for the four nights).

You can view the hotel on Trip Advisor, Hotels in Cappadocia.

An itinery for the trip will soon be available.
