Cappadocia Turkish Night Show: Folk Performance with Dinner

Sit in a cave carved from stone and watch Turkish dancers perform while you eat and drink without stopping the tab.

Turkish Night Show in Cappadocia is a three-hour folk performance held in a cave restaurant, where you watch live dancers and musicians while eating a full dinner of Turkish mezes, traditional mains and dessert, with unlimited soft drinks and local alcohols included. Hotel pickup and drop-off are available as an option at checkout; the minimum age to drink alcohol is 18, though children from age 4 are welcome to attend.

The Experience

The show starts after you arrive at the cave restaurant — either by meeting point or by hotel pickup, depending on which option you choose at checkout. A live English-speaking guide is there to walk you through the evening and explain the cultural roots of what you're watching. The space itself is the first thing: you're sitting inside a restaurant carved into the volcanic rock, which is how Cappadocia's old dwellings were built. The stage is close enough that you can see the detail in the costumes and the expressions on the performers' faces.

Dinner comes out in courses — Turkish mezes to start, then a traditional main, then dessert — and the drinks flow the whole time. Unlimited local wines and spirits are included, along with soft drinks if you prefer. The performers move through the space as they dance, sometimes close to the tables, and the show mixes music, traditional folk dances and moments of comedy. It runs for about three hours, which gives the evening room to breathe instead of rushing through the program.

The cave restaurant is wheelchair accessible, and all surfaces are level. If you have small children, they can sit in a pram or stroller. Public transport options are nearby if you don't take the hotel transfer. Tipping is optional and left to your choice at the end of the night.
