Cappadocia by far is the best. A day trip is not long enough though. Also it could be really cold. It is my fav in all of Turkey.

Ephesus is interesting and a day is long enough. The season isn't important.

Unless you are a history addict, what you'll see in Ephesus, you can see in Rome, Greece, Antalya ( Turkey ) , other parts of Turkey, Eygpt - and so on. Remains from a big empire,a colleseum, pillars , so on. You'll find similer versions elsewhere. They may be smaller, they may be in worse shape, but the idea will be the same.
What you'll see in Cappadocia has no other you can compare too. The volcanic remains like no other in World, and early Christians dug cities in it. It is beyond comprehension. My vote definitely goes to Cappadocia.

( How many days, 1 day is not enough for Cappadocia in my opinion. I was amazed by what I saw. Two underground cities, caves, houses, churches in volcanic remains and so on.. But even one day will be enough for being astounded. But you'll not be able to see all there is to see.)

EDIT - IMPORTANT !!!
==================

If you are planning to go at a very recent date, check temperatures/climate with your agency before you do. February is not a very good time for Cappadocia. It is beautiful in the spring. It is beautiful under snow too, but it may be difficult to track if there is snow. Climate is milder in the area where Ephesus is.

I have seen many antique sites, not only in Turkey. Only Pompeii near Naples was more spectacular than Ephesus. If you are interested in antique sites it's a must.

Cappadocia is not only historically interesting because of the early Christian presence there, with the churches in the rocks and a whole city under the earth (9 floors under the earth with everything these people needed). The whole landscape is simply amazing.

I would highly recommend to see both but if you have to insist to pick just one, my choice would be Cappadoccia.

Hello dear,please be informed that both Capadoccia and Ephesus are beautiful must-see places on earth but if you need to make a choice between the two of those then go for Capadoccia

I totally disagree with asrobs. You won`t be disappointed with Ephesus. It was the highlight of my holiday.

I've been to both.
Ephesus is just a day trip.
Cappadocia I spent 3 days and still not long enough.

Ephesus was stunning - huge archaelogical site
but
Cappadocia was even more amazing with the natural rock formations

I'd go back to Cappadocia given the chance and with my digital camera now!

I personally think Cappadocia is one of those places that you must see before you die. It is simply magical. it is a wonderful place when dusty and hot or covered in snow. Absolutely enchanting!

I am a half Cappadocian and I suggest you to go to Cappadocia.It should be visited by every person in the world because It has a difference.The city(Nevsehir) is very old and the buildings are fascinating.It is not a major city in Turkey but a wonderful place.I prefer Cappadocia.

It will cost you just 300 more max. Go see both. Go to Izmir see Ephesus first, buy a bus ticket (20 $) add hotel, food etc. with maximum 300 more, you will have the option to see both. It will take like 9 hours with bus Izmir to Nevsehir.

I was disappointed in Ephesus because with all the earth quakes a lot of the stone was just piled up not as original site would have been , much prefer Petra or Egypt , did not see Capadoccia so , no comment you should use the time before to explore ON LINE IT WILL GIVE YOU THE HELP YOU ASK FOR.
