Göreme Getting there & around

Getting around

There are several places to hire mountain bikes, scooters, quads and cars, including Hitchhiker (271 2169; www.cappadociahitchhiker.com; T Ozal Meydanı), Öz Cappadocia Tour (271 2159; www.ozcappadocia.com; T Ozal Meydanı) and Motodocia (271 2517), all of which are located close to the otogar. It pays to shop around, as prices vary quite dramatically. As a rule, mountain bikes cost between €5 and €5.50 for four hours; mopeds and scooters go for €14 to €25 for four hours; and those ridiculous quads cost €55 for four hours (the agencies don’t offer insurance for these). A manual Renault Clio car costs €50 per day if hired through Öz Cappadocia and a Ford Fiesta costs €42 per day if hired through Motodocia. Motodocia also has automatic cars (a Fiat Palio costs €47.50 per day). You’ll need to leave your passport as a security deposit when hiring all of the bikes, scooters and quads.

Since there are no petrol stations in Göreme and the rental companies will hike petrol prices, fill up your tank in Nevşehir, Avanos or Ürgüp before returning the vehicle.
