Short answer

Two airports serve Cappadocia: Nevşehir Kapadokya Airport (NAV) is about 40 km from Göreme (40–50 min); Kayseri Erkilet Airport (ASR) is about 75 km (1–1.5 hours). Kayseri usually has more flights; Nevşehir is closer.

Which airport should you choose?

Let flight times and fares decide. If you plan an early-morning balloon flight, arriving the night before is the most relaxed plan; for late arrivals, a private transfer takes you straight to your cave hotel.
