Esenboğa Airport – Cappadocia: Route Information

- Return pickup
- Domestic: 5.5 hours before departure
International: 6.5 hours before departure
We usually drive to Cappadocia without entering central Ankara, taking the Ankara ring road to the Ankara–Niğde motorway (O-21); after leaving the motorway we continue via Nevşehir to your hotel in Göreme, Ürgüp or Uçhisar. Depending on road and weather conditions, your driver may also take another route. In winter, snow and ice can lengthen the drive, so for your return we recommend planning the pickup time with that in mind.
Distances and times are averages and may vary with traffic, weather and your exact address.
How to Get from Esenboğa Airport to Cappadocia
By public transport you would first take EGO airport bus 442 to AŞTİ, Ankara’s intercity bus terminal, and then an intercity coach towards Nevşehir. As you still need a shuttle or taxi from where the coach stops to your hotel, the journey, with its changes and waiting times, takes considerably longer than a transfer.
With a transfer, your driver meets you in the arrivals hall and takes you and your luggage straight to your hotel without any changes. For flights landing at night or in the early morning, you set off without depending on coach timetables.
