Which one for whom?

Why Cappadocia?

Sunrise flies, or it does not. If it stays down, the walk begins. Write both into the plan.

See Cappadocia only from the sky and you miss the inside of the valley. The balloon can be cancelled. That is not a crisis. Pigeon Valley or Love Valley is the other plan for that morning.

Why Seville?

The courtyard is cool, and the streets are for walking until noon. Let the evening be late and short.

In the heat, Seville will not rush you. Rush anyway, and it wears you out. A monument in the morning, a courtyard at noon, the river in the evening. Break that order and the group goes quiet.
