"Beautiful trip to amazing Cappadocia!"

Niyazi has been the perfect host to show us the true beauty of Cappadocia. He will tailor this trip to your needs and requests.

Its been amazing to explore the beautiful valleys and do yoga at sunset.

"Perfect retreat"

I loved participating in this yoga retreat. Niyazi listens and is flexible. He will ask what are your interests or things you absolutely want to do and he will organise the schedule based on it, whether it was planned or a last minute change. The yoga sessions outdoor especially the one on top of the hill at sunset were calming, relaxing and I was actually feeling energized from it. It was focused on stretches and breathing so an excellent way to reconnect with the body and the amazing surroundings. The hotel was 5 star as well- the staff, the food, the rooms everything was perfect. The hotel has many terraces to relax and enjoy the views, and the room amenities were fantastic with a bathtub to soak your tired hiking legs at the end of the day. We could order food at any time of the day, not to mention the food was delicious and health hearty organic salads straight from farm to table! (I didn't verify this but it certainly tasted and looked like they came straight from the neighboring gardens)

On top of this, Cappadoccia is a beautiful area to explore - almost surreal with breathtaking sceneries. It has many offerings for activities, hiking, biking, you can hang out at a swimming pool if requested, chill in the main streets touring the shops or drinking turkish coffee/tea anywhere anytime. Don't hesitate too long to book it, it's totally worth it, highly recommended for a week of rejuvenation.

" Journey of a lifetime"

The experience we had with Niyazi was amazing and memorable. He made sure our tour schedules aligned with what our interests were. We had a mix of yoga, hiking, biking & meditation. We went all around Cappadocia and explored small villages and beautiful valleys. Although we did not get a chance to see the hot air balloons because of weather conditions, we got to see all of Cappadocia's natural beauty all thanks to Niyazi!!

"Beautiful tour of Capadocia, but not a yoga retreat"

Beautiful visits (walking or cycling), the tour guide was very helpful and knowledgeable and took me on nice tours of the various valleys. He helped me book additional tours and really tried very hard to help me see all the beautiful spots in the area. As a touristic visit of the area, this was a real luxury to have a personal guide as I was the only person on the retreat.

On arrival, I was greeted by the tour guide and hotel owner, and I was given a gift bag by the guide, I felt very welcome.

"Memorable trip"

The trip is memorable because of the beauty of Cappadocia, the hospitality of the hotel staff and most of all, the attentive arrangement of Niyazi. I don’t normally enjoy solo trip but Niyazi kept me good company. The sunset yoga in the Rose valley and the walk in the Pigeon valley were marvellous. Niyazi’s good vibes and energy is unforgettable.

"A magical stay in fairyland"

Niyazi's local knowledge of history and nature was exceptional and the hikes across dreamlike landscapes will stay in my memory forever. We explored so many incredible places, climbing to high points and scrambling through cave churches and seeing horses, turtles, birds and of course bizarre rocks! Make sure you bring decent hiking shoes and layering of clothes for the bizarre weather in Kappadokya. I saw snow and blazing sun in the same day :) Petra Inn was incredibly luxurious and in a fairytale setting, the staff were lovely and the food some of the best I have tasted in Turkey. The schedule was quite flexible according to weather and our preferences. Transfers etc were very smooth and easy.

"Großartige Erfahrung "

Kappadokien ist einfach unglaublich schön, ein magischer Ort! Niyazi hat sich große Mühe gegeben ein abwechslungsreiches Programm anzubieten aber auch auf unsere Wünsche einzugehen..ein toller Tourguide und Yogalehrer. Sunsetyoga in der unbeschreiblichen Landschaft war ein großartiges Erlebnis .. die Unterkunft im Petra Inn lässt keine Wünsche offen .. sehr hübsch, sauber und mit allem erdenklichem Komfort ausgestattet!

"Wonderful stay in Cappadocia"

The hotel and its location were really amazing. We had a wonderful view over the valleys and saw the balloons flying at sunrise. We discovered the area with several walks and once with mountain bikes. Especially the yoga sessions outside with marvelous views in the evening light were really nice. Niyazi is a very nice guide and will adopt your stay according to your wishes. His yoga style is a soft and quiet one, focusing on connecting with the nature around you and meditation.

"Amazing trip in Cappadocia "

We are about to finish our trip in Cappadocia - we really enjoyed :

Activities diversity : hiking, cycling & yoga. Niyazi, our yoga teacher & guide mixed outdoor & cultural sightseeings. We discovered Cappadocia the best way we could.

Special mention to Niyazi who was perfect : kind, careful, flexible to adapt to our program, and gave us useful explanations and recommandations.

"Very beautiful experience! "

We had three great days with Niyazi getting to know the beauty of Cappadocia. Niyazi is an amazing person, very kind and aware, sharing his passion and knowledge about the stunning landscapes of Cappadocia... The combination of yoga, hiking and cycling is just perfect because we could discover the region actively, culturally but also meditative (whilst doing yoga outdoor). Niyazi adapts to personal preferences and physical capacities. The beautiful hotel Petra Inn is also incredible, very nice staff, amazing food and a warm and quiet atmosphere. We highly recommend it :) thank you Niyazi for everything!!

"A perfect combination of relaxation, sightseeing and action"

The hotel Petra Inn is great with a spacious room. The staff incredible friendly even arriving in the middle of the night. Also the location is great with a beautiful view and in a calm village Uchisar.

Our guide Niyazi is very flexible, reliable and at the same time laid back helping us to see and do all the things that we like. He is very attentive. The program with hiking, cycling, Yoga, sightseeing and a little bit of shopping (because we wanted to) was just perfect.

Needless to mention that Capadocia itself is a beautiful place to visit.

And even better with such a perfect organised trip.

Thank you so much. Greetings from Nilda and Thomas

"Above and beyond our expectations - Can't wait to come back!"

Jaw-dropping canyon valley hikes, bike rides with endless views, and sunrise/sunset yoga to start and end each day with mindfulness and appreciation... This is truly the stuff dreams are made of!!

We cannot thank Niyazi enough for this unforgettable experience. He was so thoughtful in planning our daily activities and accommodated all our last minute wishes (we loved the cycling portion so much that we wanted another day of it!). Niyazi was so knowledgable about the locally grown food, and it was a fun experience eating the wild berries and walnuts while we hiked and biked around. The hotel we stayed at, Petra Inn, was impeccable and sits right on top of a hill so you're guaranteed to get the best views of Cappadocia. The service was excellent, and we loved being greeted daily by Ardic, the sweetest hotel dog.

This retreat was the PERFECT combination of challenging and restorative. Thank you so much Niyazi for sharing your home with us!

"Amazing"

These 3 days with Niyazi were perfect. The cycling, hikings &amp; yoga classes in nature were wonderfull, and the hotel (Petra Inn) view is stunning! He is an experienced and trustable person. He really takes care of you and follow your energy level. I totally recommend him. If you come to Cappadocia and you like nature, do not hesitate in contacting him ! <br>

"A piece of heaven"

If you are looking for a peaceful spot, away from stressful cities; if you feel the need to ground yourself; if you want to get in touch with nature, biking or hiking, along wonderful trails; if you want to practice yoga on the top of a rock at sunset or while looking at sunrise having hot-air balloons passing by you...well no doubt...this is the place!

Niyazi, perfect yoga instructor and guide, will make all the above possible.

A special note goes also to Petra Inn in Uçhısar, a brand new hotel, situated in a quiet place, with a breath-taking view over the valley. Selma hanım, the owner, put high attention to details, from the food served at breakfast and dinner to the music played in the balcony near the restaurant. You will feel like being home.

See you soon Cappadocia!

"Perfect Mix of Yoga, Biking and Nature"

I really loved the stunning nature of Cappadocia. I am thankful that i could stay in this fascinating area in a beautiful family managed hotel which was built in an traditional house. Thanks to Filiz, Serpil an Ismail for your hospitality, flexibility , and for your cooking! I love the view from your roof terrace and from my cosy room. Especially the view for sunrise with all these hot air balloons was magic!

Thanks to Niyazi for being such a good guide and great Yoga teacher. You found always the perfect spots for doing Yoga... in the middle of nature or at special spots in the village. I enjoyed a lot the biking and hiking tours showing our group places away from the mass tourism but at the same time we could see so different places in the valleys. Thank you also for your flexibility and kindness! It was a perfect stay for me!

"Magical Fairytale Trip"

Filiz, Serpin and Niyazi were such lovely people who treated me like family. Filiz and Serpin helped me plan my action-packed days around my hiking/biking/yoga. I had to cut my trip short, but they made sure I had airport transfers both ways, cooked me homemade dinners every night and I was able to try some special Turkish dishes! Also, recommending great lunch spots and booking everything for me, from ATV tours, hot-air ballooning, underground city transport and hamam. Niyazi is a knowledgeable guide who grew up in the area. He customized the activities to my skill level and I got to see things I never would've found on my own, such as a café in the middle of the mountains, white raspberries off the tree, ancient churches and beautiful scenery. Everywhere I went, was awe-inspiring. Every night after I’d return late from being out all day, Feliz and Serpin made sure I had dinner and we chatted every evening like old friends. They shared the history of the hotel and were able to accommodate me in a room with a spectacular view of Cappadocia region, and I got to play with the little kittens that live in the old caves behind the hotel. I travelled by myself to Cappadocia, yet never felt “alone”. I hope I can return soon and stay longer!

"Unforgettable experience!!"

My experience in Has Konak was unique, Cappadocia is a beautiful place and I wouldn’t have explored its hidden treasure if it wasn’t with Has Konak. Each of Filiz, Neyazi, Ismail and Serpeil have made me feel at home and welcomed. Being a solo traveler I felt so safe. I have already recommends it to my friends because I have enjoyed it so much that I want them to explore Cappadocia the right way with these amazing people in Has Konak. It’s a place where I would love to visit again!!! Thank you for everything ...

"Amazing experience in a stunningly beautiful location"

Each day the programme was different, according to my level and how energetic I felt, which was great. In the end I felt like I saw a lot of the area whether by bicycle or hiking, but it wasn't too exhausting. Doing yoga on the hotel rooftop or in the beautiful landscape was incredible. There was a full moon while I was there and a full moon walk was improvised, which felt magical. The hotel felt like home, with delicious home made food and lovely staff.

"Excelente experiencia; repetiría."

El entorno, la Capadoccia, es maravilloso. Todas las actividades que realicé se adaptaron a mi nivel (yoga, ciclismo, senderismo). El trato recibido fue muy bueno.
