Turkish Night Show
Dinner, Drinks and a Full Stage
This is a three-hour Turkish night show in a Cappadocia cave restaurant, with a set dinner menu, unlimited local drinks, a full folk dance and music programme and hotel transfers included. The price is €50 per person.
This is the evening version of Cappadocia's tourist circuit, and it is honest about what it is: dinner, drinks, a stage and a full programme of Anatolian dance in a cave hall that holds the sound well. It is not a religious ceremony, and the dervish segment is a demonstration rather than a Sema.

How the Evening Runs
Pickup from your hotel in Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp or Çavuşin and transfer to the cave restaurant. Tables are reserved by name; groups of six or more are seated together.
A set menu of Turkish starters, a main course and dessert, with unlimited local soft drinks and house wine. Vegetarian and halal menus are available if requested at booking.
A sequence of Anatolian folk dances from different regions, a whirling dervish segment, live music and a belly dance finale. The stage is central, so every table has a sightline.
Transfer back to your hotel. The show finishes at a fixed time, so guests with an early balloon flight the next morning can leave after the folk dance section if they prefer.
About This Experience
This is the evening version of Cappadocia's tourist circuit, and it is honest about what it is: dinner, drinks, a stage and a full programme of Anatolian dance in a cave hall that holds the sound well. It is not a religious ceremony, and the dervish segment is a demonstration rather than a Sema.
It suits families, groups and anyone who wants one organised night without choosing a restaurant — the food is decent, the drinks are included, and the transfers mean nobody has to drive the valley roads after dark. Travellers looking for the actual ritual should book the Whirling Dervish Ceremony instead.

When To Go
The show runs nightly year-round in a heated cave venue, so weather never affects it. April to June and September to October are the busiest months and the best atmosphere; book three or four days ahead in high season. July and August are the peak — the venue is cool, but the room is full and the programme runs to time. November to March is quieter and the tables are more spread out, which most guests prefer. The show is not held on 31 December without a special booking.
Frequently Asked Questions
Is alcohol included?
Yes — unlimited local soft drinks and house wine with the set menu. Imported spirits and premium wine are available at a supplement. This is unusual for Cappadocia and is the main reason the price is higher than a dinner-only booking.
What kind of show is it?
A sequence of Anatolian folk dances from different regions, a whirling dervish demonstration, live music and a belly dance finale. It is entertainment, not a religious ceremony — for the actual Sema ritual, book the Whirling Dervish Ceremony instead.
Can you cater for vegetarians or allergies?
Yes, with notice at booking. Vegetarian menus are standard on request, and halal is the default for all menus. Nut and gluten requirements are handled if you tell us in advance.
Is it suitable for children?
Yes. The programme is family-friendly, the venue is warm and seated, and children under 6 join free. The belly dance finale runs late; families often leave after the folk dance section.
How long does it last?
About three hours door to door: 30 minutes of transfers, an hour for dinner, and two hours of performance. The show itself ends around 22:30.
