2025 Avanos Travel Guide: Must-see attractions, popular food, hotels, transportation routes (updated in June)

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 Before traveling to Türkiye, we were racking our brains over what hotel to stay in Cappadocia, and finally we chose DoubleTree by Hilton Avanos. The most famous thing about the Cappadocia area is the caves. Whether it is a museum, a restaurant or a hotel, they all have views of the caves. I prefer modern hotels, but the cave hotels do not give me a good sense of security. DoubleTree by Hilton Avanos is the fourth Hilton hotel we stayed in during our trip to Turkey. In addition to the comfortable and clean environment, it also has my favorite swimming pool. Although it is not as convenient as the previous hotels in the city center, the scenery next to the hotel is really refreshing. Also, the hotel is close to the hot air balloon flight site tomorrow, so you have to go to bed early at night because you have to get up at around 3 a.m. to prepare for the hot air balloon flight.

#AprilGoodDestinations2025 This is a cave restaurant located in Cappadocia called Evranos Restaurant. We are having dinner here today. From the itinerary, I saw that in addition to dinner, we can also enjoy local Turkish dance performances, the most anticipated of which is the whirling. Everyone was interested in watching the dancers perform. How the food tasted was no longer important. The spinning dancers received the most applause when they performed. The lighting in the restaurant is a little dim and the photos taken when the dancers are moving are not clear. When the performance ends, the dancers will invite the tourists present to dance in the center together. Maybe Asians are more reserved, so not many people go up to dance. Caves are the characteristic of Cappadocia, which can be used to avoid enemy attacks as well as natural disasters.

This is a must-try pottery jar dish in Cappadocia, called Pottery Kebabi, and its Turkish name is Testi Kebabi. We have only seen this dish in Cappadocia, not in other cities. This dish looks very local, but it is actually tomato and vegetable stewed with meat cubes, usually chicken or beef. The method is to put the fresh ingredients into this clay pot, and then put the whole pot into the oven. This method can seal the original flavor of the food in the pot. These two dishes, one is chicken and the other is beef, they taste delicious!

Avanos is a small town in central Turkey. It is definitely not a touristy place but is very close to the open sights of Cappadocia - the most beautiful place in the region. Anyway it is a nice option for a quick stopover but you will need a car. #happynewyear

📍Zelve Visited Zelve in the northern part of Cappadocia. Zelve is an area that has been turned into a museum, allowing visitors to explore. It was once a hideout for Christians, and people lived in cave dwellings there for a long time. Inside the caves, crosses are carved, showing that despite being inside caves, people practiced their faith diligently. It was fascinating to see 🧚. There was also a spot where they used a 500kg stone to grind wheat, which made me realize how valuable wheat was to the residents of that era. Looking out from a viewpoint where you can see the entirety of the Zelve ruins, each rock appears very small, and with windows carved into them, they resemble tiny houses lined up together, giving off a charming vibe 💖. It felt like fairies could live there... or so I thought 🧚✨. This is a view that might be hard to convey without seeing it for yourself, so if you ever visit Cappadocia, make sure to check it out 🧚.

🏜️ Cappadocia Travel Guide | A fantasy secret place like the surface of the moon 🌄 Opening: A fairytale kingdom in an alien world Cappadocia, Turkey’s “lunar landscape”, is famous for its peculiar rock groups, thousand-year-old cave churches and sky-high hot air balloons.

Be environmentally conscious: Don’t engrave on rocks to protect fragile landscapes. ✨The magic of Cappadocia lies in the blending of surreal landscapes and ancient civilizations.

#HawaiiFlightEvent I visited Avanos, a town famous for its pottery village. Avanos is a town near Goreme, and you can get there by bus. It takes about 20 minutes. The bus fare is 50 lira per person, or 2,000 won, so it's worth a visit! The streets of Avanos were really pretty.

#HawaiiFlightEvent The Avanos Mall I visited in Avanos was nice to look around. The items were definitely much cheaper than Istanbul, the center of Turkey. If you travel to Turkey, try going to a mart or a prop shop a little outside the city center! This is a tip for smart spending👍🏻

There was even a shop where you could experience pottery crafts inside the small shop! And there were many Turkish ice cream shops in Avanos.

#EuropeanTravel I visited the ceramic village near Göreme, Turkey!🏺🏺 It was my first time here, and the shuttle bus was running from Göreme, so it was really nice that I could easily catch it!🚐🚌 And the price was cheap and the time slots were varied, so it was really nice. It took less than 30 minutes to get there and back, so it was really nice It was really nice because it was a place that I could easily visit!🔥🔥 And I recommend you try the ceramic kebab that you can only eat in the ceramic village! We also ate lamb and beef ceramic kebabs, and it was really nice because it was cheaper than in the city It was also really nice because I could buy souvenirs cheaper than in Istanbul and Göreme!♥️ If you have any chance to go to Istanbul Cappadocia, I highly recommend you visit this village! ㅎㅎ #Turkiye #Istanbul #Cappadocia

Cappadocia is not only about hot air balloons, there is also a small town that I will never forget - Avanos. The streets are lined with reddish-brown pottery workshops, and the air is filled with the aroma of dried soil. I walked into an old pottery shop. The owner, a master craftsman with a snow-white beard, smiled and invited me to sit on the turntable and experience the traditional pottery-making technique with my own hands. When your hands touch the moist red clay, you seem to be touching the artistic soul that has been passed down for thousands of years as you turn it. Pick up a handful of soil in Avanos and mold the soul of Cappadocia. The history of pottery in Avanos can be traced back to the Hittite period. The town's red clay is taken from the Kızılırmak River that runs through the town. This is the longest river in Turkey and also gave birth to this pottery city. Walking along the old street, you may encounter artists creating works on site at every corner. The colorful pottery fills the walls, like a picture frozen in time. This is not just a place for shopping, but also a way of traveling to slow down and create with your hands. If you also like places full of warmth and stories, Avanos is definitely worth staying for a whole afternoon.
