Ihlara Valley (Ihlara Vadisi) Tours and Tickets

Q: How much does it cost to visit Ihlara Valley in 2026?

The entrance fee to the Ihlara Valley currently costs around €15. However, you also need to consider the cost of transportation, especially if only hiking the valley in one direction. Tours to the valley that handle the transport logistics for you start from around US$53 and typically include the entrance fee, too.

Q: How long is the hiking trail in the Ihlara Valley?

The hiking trail through the Ihlara Valley stretches 8.6 miles (14 kilometers) from the village of Ihlara to Selime, usually taking around 3–4 hours to complete. A shorter alternative is to hike one of the three sections that make up the route, the most popular being from the Ihlara Valley Tourist Facility to Belisırma.

Q: Is the hike in Ihlara Valley suitable for families?

Families with young children may not find the walk suitable—you need to climb down and then up a long series of steps to get into and out of the valley, which may prove too challenging for kids. Another issue is that there are only four entrances/exits along the walk, meaning you can’t leave part way through.

Q: What is the best time of year to visit the Ihlara Valley?

Spring and autumn are the best times of year to visit the Ihlara Valley. Going in April, May, September, and October offers optimum weather for the hike, avoiding chilly winters and sizzling summers. These months also tend to see fewer tourists, so typically you’ll enjoy a quieter atmosphere for your walk.

Q: Are there any facilities, like cafes or rest areas, along the Ihlara Valley trail?

Yes, the Ihlara Valley is famous for the restaurants that line the riverbanks of the Melendiz stream. At these restaurants you can either eat lunch by the river or sit on small wooden pontoons decorated with a rug and cushions and dine with the stream trickling below your feet.

Well-Paced Tour Covering Many Highlights with a Knowledgeable Guide

We really enjoyed the tour, even though the weather wasn’t the best. Our guide, Ferman, was very friendly and answered many of our questions—he was definitely more knowledgeable than previous tour guides we’ve had. The tour covered many spots but still felt well-paced, which made it much more enjoyable, as we had enough time at each stop. Lastly, the van was newer and more comfortable than many others we’ve experienced.

Green Line Tour Review

Matt our tour guide was very knowledgeable and took time to explain things to us. He also set a pace that was ideal for everyone on the trip. At the end of the trip we were taken to shop where they have precious stones. It ended up costing a bit. I would prefer they stick to showing us the sites and not sell us things.

Amazing Day and beautiful views!

Had an amazing tour with Ferman. We went with a small group with only 9 people. Our guide was very knowledgeable about the region and was happy to answer all of our questions. The driver that we had was also AMAZING, and maneuvered the van like a pro! We had a great experience, made friends along the way, and learned so much about Cappadocia.
