For example, if you begin using a 3-day pass on Friday at 4:00 p.m., your pass will expire on Sunday at 11:59 p.m., rather than Monday at 4:00 p.m. As a result, we recommend that you start your pass on the first full day of your trip to Cappadocia to get the most out of your pass.

Which pass should I buy for my child?
It depends on the age of your child and the number of days you want to sightsee in Cappadocia.
Children under 5 do not require a Pass because it will be cheaper for you to pay the individual admission fees for them at each site than to buy a Pass. We recommend that you check the admission costs and policies of any attractions you will be visiting for children under 5.
Children 5 - 12 years old can get the Child Pass. Some attractions and experiences are free for children under 12 and the cost of the Child Pass reflects that.
Children 12 and over, even 12 years and 1 day, need an Adult Pass.
So, now that you know whether to buy a child's pass or an adult's pass, simply choose the number of days you want the pass to be valid.

The moment you first use the Pass at an attraction (except the airport transfer), the days of validity start counting down.
