The Experience

We landed at Kayseri Airport after a long morning of connections, and I’ll admit, my brain was still half asleep. The arrivals hall was busy—families, couples, backpacks everywhere—but our driver was right outside holding a little sign with my name. He smiled and waved like he’d been expecting us for ages. It felt oddly comforting after the airport chaos.

The minibus was cool inside (thank god), and the seats were softer than I expected. There was this faint smell of lemon from one of those hanging air fresheners—kind of old-school but honestly not bad. Our driver switched between Turkish and English with this easy rhythm; he asked where we were staying in Göreme and double-checked the address, just to be sure. I liked that he didn’t rush us when we fumbled for our bags or tried to pronounce “Mustafapaşa”—Li laughed when I tried to say it in Turkish, probably butchered it.

The drive itself took about an hour—maybe a bit more?—but it didn’t drag on. We passed these rolling hills and little villages where kids waved at the bus (one had a bright red kite). The sun hit the windows in that late afternoon way that makes everything look warmer than it is. At some point, I realized how quiet it got in the van; everyone sort of drifted into their own thoughts or stared out at the landscape. Our driver pointed out a few places along the way—he seemed proud of his home region, which made me feel like we were already getting a taste of Cappadocia before even arriving.

He dropped us right at our hotel’s front door in Göreme, no fuss or confusion. I still think about that first glimpse of those strange rock shapes as we pulled into town—it’s weird how something so simple as a transfer can stick with you if you’re tired enough or just open to noticing small things.
