Recommendations

Comfortable trousers suitable for walking and walking shoes should be chosen in the activity. Considering the temperature difference between the night and day in Cappadocia we recommend you have seasonal sweatshirt/coat. A small back-pack may be helpful to make your hands comfortable during the walk. Throughout nearly 1 hour walking to the break point you can have water that you will need.

In the summer program moon will start to be seen at around 20:00 and increasingly rise. Moonlight is expected to give sufficient light in the walking, but you can have a torch or head torch.
