This post is informational for those who are going to Cappadocia. Before going there, I was faced with the fact that this place is quite difficult to find on the map. Yandex did not really know Turkish names at all. The itinerary of our trip can be seen here - Independently to Turkey.
Let me remind you that Cappadocia is the name of the area in which stone outliers of volcanic rock in the form of mushrooms are located, and in which people used to live. There are also underground cities here. You can read about our trip there here: Goreme National Park - excursions in Cappadocia.
All the sights of Cappadocia are concentrated not far from each other and around the village of Goreme, in the Goreme National Park. From here you can already go to neighboring villages, and, for example, to the underground city in Derinkuyu.

First of all, you need to get to the city of Nevsehir. Buses run from any city in this direction. For example, from Kemer the bus goes at 21.40, the ticket price is 45lir (900r). And already from Nevsehir by dolmus (minibus) you will go to Goreme, there is literally half an hour to go. Sometimes you can buy a bus ticket to Goreme right away, but this is less common. Also, you can first get to such cities as Aksaray, Nigde, Kayseri, and from there go to Nevsehir or Goreme.
