Panorama Camping

There’s plenty nearby for history buffs to sink their teeth into: within 15 minutes’ drive of the site, there are two open-air museums centring on millennia-old cave dwellings; a town that's been producing pottery since 2000 BC, and a handful of churches and castles hewn out of the rock. Venture slightly further, and you’ll come to Cappadocia’s largest and deepest underground cities, Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, each around 30 minutes away. For city days, take the car for the hour-long journey to Kayseri: there’s lots here to keep you busy, like museums, monuments and walking tours around stunning architecture, as well as some fab shopping. It's also the exact place you should point your skis if you’re after some snowy adventures, as nearby Mount Erciyes has 55 kilometres of slopes for you to whoosh down and there’s a glacier to clamber around if you need a break from the powder. Make some time to pamper yourself before your hols come to an end, by caking yourself in mud at Camur Magarasi Katpatuka or signing up for hammam treatments and massage at the Cappadocia Cave Resort spa, both within 10 minutes. Then try the Turasan vineyard in nearby Ürgüp or the Kocabag Winery in Uçhisar for tours and (best of all) tastings to let the last of your stress melt away.
