January to the end of March is the winter in the Stone Forest, and the temperature can be as low as about ten degrees below zero. In April, May and September and October every year, the climate is moderate and very comfortable and pleasant.

Shopping recommendations:

Food: Cappadocia’s traditional Antatolian flavors are a feast for the eyes. In particular, some cave restaurants can be said to be a major feature of Cappadocia. Some dishes, such as Braised Beef Brisket (Comlek Kebabi) and Baked Rice Pudding (Firinsutlac), are the most authentic only in Cappadocia. Restaurants are probably concentrated in the center of every small town and in areas where hotels are concentrated. In some tourist attractions that are far away from the city center, the probability of finding a good restaurant is relatively low.

Shopping: You can buy small Turkish-style souvenirs in small shops around tourist attractions. Some workshops sell pottery and carpets, and you can also see how local people make these things.
