Transfert privé versKaymaklı Underground City
Cappadocia's widest underground city — 8 floors, ~100 tunnels; from Nevşehir Airport in about 45 minutes, private transfer from €61.
Kaymaklı Underground City
Kaymaklı is the widest of Cappadocia's underground cities — a Byzantine-era refuge of roughly eight floors, four of them open to visitors, laced together by around 100 tunnels. Thousands sheltered here during raids, sealing the passages with massive rolling stone doors; inside you'll still find first-level stables, kitchens, wine and oil presses, a rock-cut chapel and ventilation shafts that keep the air fresh and the temperature constantly cool. The passages are slightly wider than Derinkuyu's — the deepest city, about 9 km away — making Kaymaklı the easier of the two to explore. Getting there is simple: Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) is about 50 km away, roughly 45 minutes by road, and a private SooTransfer starts at €61 in an Eco Van for up to six passengers — fixed price in euros, quoted up front, pay after the ride.

Kaymaklı Underground City transfert · FAQ
How much is a transfer from Nevşehir Airport to Kaymaklı Underground City?
A private transfer from Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) to Kaymaklı starts at €61 in an Eco Van for up to six passengers — about 50 km and roughly 45 minutes by road. The price is fixed in euros and quoted up front, with free meet-and-greet at arrivals, a name sign, flight tracking and payment after the ride.
Is a private transfer better than a taxi, bus or group tour?
For Kaymaklı, usually yes. Airport taxis run on the meter and rarely quote a fixed price; public buses mean changing in Nevşehir and a walk at the far end; group day tours typically allot the site under an hour on a fixed schedule. A private transfer from €61 is door-to-door on your own timetable — stay as long as you like and add Derinkuyu, just 9 km away.
Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu — which underground city should I visit?
Kaymaklı is the widest, with noticeably more comfortable passages — ideal for families and anyone who wants a gentler visit. Derinkuyu is the deepest and most dramatic. They sit only about 9 km apart, so most visitors with a private car simply do both back to back.
Is Kaymaklı claustrophobic? Can children and older visitors manage it?
Four of the roughly eight floors are open, the passages are wider than Derinkuyu's, and the ancient ventilation shafts keep the air fresh and cool. Some low connecting tunnels require stooping and there are stairs, but children usually love it — ask for free child seats in the van when you book — and you can turn back at any point. It's not suitable for wheelchairs or strollers.
How long does a visit to Kaymaklı take?
About an hour covers the four open floors at an easy pace. Combined with Derinkuyu it makes a rewarding half day, and on the way back towards Göreme or Uçhisar a photo stop at Pigeon Valley rounds the trip off nicely.
