  • Use the official taxi rank outside the terminal; ignore touts offering private taxis in arrivals.
  • Book shared shuttles with established Cappadocia transfer companies and confirm in writing; some operators do not serve international arrivals.
  • Confirm card payment before any taxi ride, as some drivers may claim the machine is broken.
