CAPPADOCIA ITINERARY

Day 1

On the first day of our tour, we will meet at Ankara Esenboga Airport (ESB) at 11 am at the latest. After the meeting, we will get in our vehicle, and after a journey that takes approximately 1 hour and 45 minutes, we will arrive at our hotel near the shooting area. After lunch at a nearby restaurant, we will arrive at the rock formations of Nallihan, our sunset location.
We call this region as Badlands of Turkey. You will feel like you are on a different planet when you are here.When we finish our sunset shooting, we will return to our hotel and enjoy the rest of the evening.
"The colorful hills made of limestone, gypsum, marl, and clay soils with a history of 10 million years will allow us to take magnificent photos from the air and the land."

Day 2

On our second day, we will go to the same area for the sunrise and photograph this beauty while the sun rising behind us hits the top of the mountain. After the sunrise shoot, we will return to our hotel. After breakfast, we will set out for our second destination, Meke, a volcanic crater lake. After about 4.5 hours of driving, we will settle into our hotel near the shooting area.
The Meke crater, which we will photograph at sunset, is a beautiful location for drone photography. The lake inside this crater has dried up in the last few years but has not lost anything photographically. We will photograph the conical volcanic hills with great pleasure.

I'll come back many times.

I choose my photo tours very carefully. Besides an attractive destination, I also want an excellent leader-photographer. Since I am a professional photographer, I aim to bring back some outstanding photos from each workshop. Max and Aytek went to great lengths to meet my "slightly more demanding needs" by offering a once in a lifetime workshop in Cappadocia. Finding incredible compositions, on-site discussions, fantastic post-production session, and top-level organization... that's why I'll come back many times.

    Exceeded all my expectations!

    I decided to join a Max and Aytek primarily because of my admiration for their distinctive style in capturing landscapes. This trip exceeded all my expectations in every aspect. The organization and punctuality were flawless, Hotel choices were great, the hiking schedules were perfectly spaced out. The highlight for me was the comprehensive post-processing sessions, complemented by personalized one-on-one critique sessions. I look forward to joining Max and Aytek on future trips, hopefully the one to Peru .

    The best experience you could wish for

    I joined Max and Aytek on their photo workshop to Cappadocia and Nallihan in May 2024. These guys go the extra mile to give you the best experience you could wish for. Their knowledge of the area is unique and the best. You get to see gems not easily found by yourself and get photos that are unique and breathtaking. We stayed at incredible hotels and had enjoyed lovely Turkish food. It was truly a once in a lifetime experience I won't forget. I’ve been to several workshops, and this is by far the best one I’ve experienced.
