You and your partner need a change. At least spending some time in private would be perfect. You need something really different and unique. You are not looking for a place full of night time entertaintment or a city with lovely and sandy beaches because if you choose one of them, there will be something to distract you and you won't be able to spend quality time together. You want the whole time to belong to you but should find somewhere which will not be boring either. Besides; you are probably not the richest person in thw world so need this unique holiday with affordable options. Then Cappadocia is the one. Cappadocia is a town located in the middle of Turkey. It does not have beaches or a great night life but it has a very beautiful and unique geographical formation. At the same time it is full of history but even if you are not interested in cultural activities and history, the story of Cappadocia will most probably arouse your interest. The origin of its name is Katpatuka which means the town of beautiful horses. It is an ancient site and a very popular touristic point today. Cappadocia is a town of city of Nevsehir and also close to city of Kayseri. If you plan to travel from Istanbul to Cappadocia, then the best way would be taking a flight to Nevsehir or Kayseri and upon arrival, you will have one more hour to go in order to get to Cappadocia.rnAnother option is taking an overnight bus there but it can be a little tiring if you don't have time to rest for the following day. Once you are there, the best hotel option is a cave hotel. Do not forget that the price of a regular cave hotel in Cappadocia is higher than a four star hotel around because staying in cave hotels is more popular.rnApart from how they look, cave hotels have an unknown feature for many people. The walls of the cave hotels make you much more energic when you wake up next morning. A sleep for three-four hours is never enough in a big, crowded city but in Cappadocia, after sleeping deeply during several hours, you will feel refreshed and full of energy. It is also very famous for its wines. The best wines of Turkey are produced in Cappadocia and you can buy a bottle of wine for a very cheap price. The quality of the wines is very high that the next morning you don't feel any headache at all. In Cappadocia during the day, you can participate in cultural Cappadocia tours and see the beautiful Fairy Chimneys, amazing underground cities and listen from a local guide the interesting history of the town. During the night, there is nothing else to do except having a lovely dinner and drinking wine as much as you can and having a perfectly romantic night till the sleeping time which will be more enjoyable than ever. Maybe you can wake up early for a hot air baloon ride to see the beauty of the town with the first daylights. To be honest, joining a ballon ride is a bit expensive but the experience is worth the amount you pay.
