The 10 Best Hiking & Trekking Tours in Turkey

1.Full-Day Tour in Cappadocia with Ihlara Hiking and Underground City

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 320 reviews · 7 to 9 hours (approx.) · from $45.97Our pick

Cappadocia full-day tour with pickup, Ihlara Valley hike, Kaymakli underground city, and lunch, plus Goreme and Pigeon Valley stops.

“This tour was fantastic. We only paid 37 bucks because of the off season and Corona virus. I would highly recommend this tour. The only reason it's not 5 starts is because of the small money making details like, drinks are extra and "now we will hear a short presentation from this gem salesperson." Our guide was Mahmut and he was perfect. Have him a healthy tip.”

2.Sunset Rose Valley Hiking Tour

★★★★★★★★★★4.5 · 163 reviews · 2 hours · from $10Best value

Guided sunset hike in Cappadocia’s Rose Valley with cave churches, red-rock views, and an English-speaking guide who helps with photos.

“When in Cappadocia, this hiking tour is a must. The views along the trail were majestic. Kamil, our guide, picked us up at 4:00 PM at the meeting point, and it took about 10–15 minutes drive to reach the start of the hike. During the hike, Kamil took photos and a video of us using our phones and he did a great job. You can tell he’s done it many times because he knew the best angles and poses. We returned to the van around 5:50 PM, right after watching the stunning Rose Valley sunset. While some people say you can do this hike on your own, joining the tour…”

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 152 reviews · 4 hours · from $62

Small-group hike from Antalya to Termessos, Turkey’s mountain ruins, with English guide Önder and an Eagle’s Nest theatre.

And the site itself was magical, gigantic ruined blocs strewn around, it felt as if we were discovering the site, and the theatre is breathe taking! if you have the opportunity I strongly recommend taking 4 hours out to visit Termessos with Onder, you won't regret it!

★★★★★★★★★★4.4 · 57 reviews · 7 hours · from $34

Cappadocia Green Tour mixes Ihlara Valley hikes, Kaymakli underground city, and Pigeon Valley views, with lunch and hotel pickup.

“Waste of a day. Stopped first at a scenic outlook over the city for 20mins for photos, only needed 10mins, then continued on to an Onyx shop which wasn’t mentioned in the tour. Had to stand through talk( quick luckily) then showed into a few rooms where we are able to buy jewellery. Wasn’t interested in that so we were allowed to then cross the road to look at pigeon valley and have another 20 minutes there for some photos, but we had been expecting a walk through pigeon valley as it had been mentioned in their spiel about the tour. Then drove a long 40 mins or so to…”

A hidden gem to explore without the crowds, with amazing ancient ruins and unforgettable views. Our guide showed us the highlights of Termessos and made sure everyone felt included and well taken care of. The hike was magical, with a balanced pace and explanations, easy and fun, perfect even for beginners and children. Very accessible, even in simple shoes, no need to be fit.

★★★★★★★★★★5.0 · 22 reviews · 7 hours 30 minutes (approx.) · from $102.02

A small-group 15 km Cappadocia hike from Uchisar through fairy chimneys, caves, fresco churches, and panoramic valley views.

“This tour was definitely the highlight of my entire trip to Cappadocia. Erdin was incredibly kind and knowledgeable, sharing so much about the culture and history during our hike. Even though it was my first time hiking, I felt completely comfortable and safe with him checking on me regularly to make sure I was doing okay. I had visited the Open Air Museum the day before, but this hike felt way more authentic without needing to visit the museum. Erdin took me to lots of hidden caves and churches, explaining everything in detail. With his help, I even got to climb up a cave and explore the pigeon coop –…”
