A few things behind your plan

Each day starts in Göreme and ends at its last stop. Return journeys and overnight transfers are excluded. Stops are arranged nearby-first to reduce backtracking.

Time includes driving, sightseeing, 10 minutes for parking and access at each stop, and a 45-minute lunch break on longer days. Kilometres cover driving only; valley visits allow time for a walk returning to the same access point. Check site opening hours and access before travelling.
