Our story
How it started
Cappadocia Platform began behind the front desk of a boutique hotel in Cappadocia. As its manager, Muhammet Mert Seçkin saw the same thing every day: guests juggling a different app for every tour, transfer and dinner, and local businesses handing a large share of every booking to intermediaries far away.
With a background from Cappadocia University and Tel Aviv University, he set out to build the opposite: one place where a traveller can plan the whole stay, and where every booking goes straight to the business that delivers it.
The company was founded on 27 June 2025. The first guest booked a month later, and in May 2026 the platform opened as a marketplace where local businesses list and sell their own services.
