Things to do in Cappadocia, no research required

Cappadocia’s map is mostly about where to eat and drink between balloon rides and valley walks, and the numbers back that up: bars and attractions are plotted well ahead of museums and historic buildings combined. Oscar Steak House anchors dinner and fills fast for a town this size, so book it ahead. Termessos Terrace Cafe and Kubaba Coffee cover the daytime with views over the rock formations. Cafe Harmony works as a hookah bar and bistro for an evening between hikes. Fair warning: the balloons launch before dawn, so plan the late nights around that rather than against it.
