As we are tight on time, votes on whether should we visit Ephesus or Cappadoica ?

NGail

Both amazing, but I'd choose Cappadocia.

The question is how much time do you have? From Istanbul, you can do a long day and fly to visit Ephesus. You need at least two very full days to see much of Cappadocia - plus flight time. Ephesus is beautiful and very interesting, but if I had the time, I would probably choose Cappadocia because it is so unique. I would not do Cappadocia as a day trip.

What are your interests?

Here are some recent decisions about both locations:

And then you can deduce an answer by applying a hyspothetical syllogism.

We have abt 3d2n. Or max 4d3d. Love scenic places, less of museums & history!

Aduchamp1

Exactly.

Had the same issue and it really depends on your interest. For our family, we've wanted to see Ephesus for awhile and are history buffs.

Unless you really love ruins, I would choose Cappadocia, because it's very different from everything you are going to see in the world.

I don't think you'd go wrong either way, but if you are more interested in scenery than in museums and history, and if you have 3 days (or even 4), Cappadocia would seem a reasonable choice. If that is what you choose, note that the Goreme and Zelve Outdoor Museums are incredibly scenic. And consider taking a hot air balloon ride!

Cappadoica is scenic.

My vote would be for Cappadocia. I had four days and three nights and it worked out great, although I wouldn't have minded having another day. Ephesus was also great but one day was plenty.

So you see...Ephesus is half a day I reckon , Cappadocia needs 3-4 days. If you go to Ephesus might as well go up to Pamukkale too..
Should help you decide.....

Cappadocia for the time that you have. Ephesus itself and the Antiquities museum in Selçuk take only one day.
