turkey cappadocia itinerray

hi
We are 4 adults coming in August. We'll be spending 1 or 2 nights or 1.5 days in Cappadocia. Things we want to do is
Hot air ballooning
ATV tour
Underground city tour ( any one of two cities)
Caves tour
I looked at different tours. Hot air ballooning is at sunrise ( at 5am) and Atv at sunset ( starts 3pm) so how to fit others in between them or the next day ( will prefer some pre booked tours in group but if private car with guide is available we can think of that if its affordable). We have 1.5 to 2 days. We'll be living in one of the cave hotels. We can add some extra attractions.
Thanks

Don't forget the time you need to go from Nevsehir airport to Urgup or Goreme and back.
But what should this rushed addition of tours within a bit more than one day be good for?.

You may feel very rushed, and I don’t think you have time for everything you want to do. Any delay of your arrival can mess you up. Stay a minimum of 2 nights! We stayed 3 and it was not really enough.
The balloon companies pick you up at your hotel and return you to the hotel.
Rather than scheduling group tours, I highly recommend letting your hotel get you a private taxi driver to take you to the underground city, open air museum, etc. At those places, get tickets to take a tour. I highly doubt the taxi will cost any more than tours for four people. The taxi driver will usually be informative and get you to places efficiently, no waiting for other people. Cappadocia is one place where we let the hotel do more for us (from having food delivered to our room on arrival to booking taxis) and it was perfect. Would highly recommend that.

Hello ,
We are citizen from Cappadocia and to be honest 1.5 days very limited time for Cappadocia. Normally, we recommend you to allocate 3 days minimum to enjoy and relax.
Neverthless, you should be very careful in your planning to be efficient as much as possible.
maybe you can reach and we can guide you free. Google us as : "Farmer Cave House"

We enjoyed having an official guide in Cappadocia, but we did not fit all that itinerary into one day. Also yes remember the time from the airport, depending on where your flight lands and departs. Also, every official tour we took in Turkiye had a mandatory visit to a carpet factory/ceramic factory etc. So factor that in to your time as well.
There is a bit of distance between some of the sights as well, and even in May it was very crowded. I would say that having a private guide helped us get through some of the sights more quickly. But the time at each was also limited.

Be prepared for high temperatures at that time.

Turkiye is a fascinating country. You will never see anything like Cappadocia anywhere else, so relax and enjoy it. Add more time if possible.
