Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) Transfer Guide
Nevsehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) is the closest airport to the Cappadocia valleys, around 38 km from Goreme and the cave hotels. It is small and seasonal, so it has fewer flights than Kayseri, but the drive to the main towns is shorter. The official Nevsehir taxi tariff starts at ₺52 and adds ₺65 per kilometre, and there is no night tariff.
One thing worth knowing before you land: airport taxis here usually quote a flat rate rather than running the meter, and that quote swings with the season and how many cabs are waiting. By the meter a run to Goreme would be around ₺2,500, but a flat quote is often ₺1,200-2,000, and a pre-booked shared or private transfer can be cheaper still. For one or two people the transfer almost always wins; a taxi makes more sense for a group or an odd-hours arrival.

Frequently asked questions
How far is Nevsehir Airport from Goreme?
About 38 km, a 35-45 minute drive. Urgup is a little further at around 48 km, and Uchisar is roughly 37 km. There is no public transport straight to the towns, so it is a taxi or a transfer.
Do Nevsehir Airport taxis use the meter?
Often not for airport runs. Drivers usually quote a flat rate, which varies with the season and demand. Ask the price to your exact town before you set off and compare it with the estimate on the route pages.
Is there a night tariff at Nevsehir Airport?
No. Nevsehir uses a single 24-hour rate, the same as the rest of Turkey. That matters here because the dawn run to a balloon launch is a normal taxi job and should not carry a surcharge.
Is a transfer cheaper than a taxi to Cappadocia?
For one or two people, usually yes. A shared or private transfer to Goreme or Urgup is often cheaper than a solo airport taxi and the price is fixed in advance. A taxi makes more sense for a group.
