Getting to Cappadocia: Nevsehir or Kayseri Airport?
We (my wife, our 3.5 year old kid, me) are planning to visit Cappadocia in April for about about 4 days, following a stay in Istanbul.
According to google maps, it takes 1 1/2 hours from Kayseri Airport (ASR) to the Göreme/Uçhisar/Ürgüp region where we plan to stay and only 50 minutes from Nevşehir Airport (NAV). Several transfer service offers I found talk about an hour from Kayseri to Göreme, however. (We will probably rent a car either way.)
Since it seems Nevşehir sees only two flights a day I guess it will also be also easier to find our way around there, this seems to be the quicker way (with only marginally more expensive flights). However, since Kayseri seems to be worth a (half?) day trip on its own, flying there would allow visiting it first (there are flights from IST at convenient times; visiting before the return flight is not an option as we want to leave in the morning to catch a connecting flight at IST) and save the extra trip from and back to Göreme.
Is my reasoning correct? If so, which would be the more convenient option?

Is it better to fly to Kayseri or Nevsehir?
Nev\u015fehir is certainly the more convenient airport for the area. But sometimes flight times and costs means that Kayseri can be the better option even though it is an hour away. I would prefer Nev\u015fehir every time but if you are on a tight schedule Kayseri can sometimes fit in better.Is Kayseri or Nevsehir closer to Cappadocia?
