Discover the beauty of Cappadocia on a guided tour. Visit the Derinkuyu Underground City, explore the Ihlara Valley, and see the stunning landscapes of Göreme Panorama.
Begin your tour with a pickup from your hotel. Head to the Göreme Panorama Point, where your professional guide will share insights about the unique formations of the Cappadocia region. Capture stunning photos and admire the distant Erciyes Mountain, a dormant volcano that shaped the landscape.
Next, visit the Pigeon Valley, known for its ancient pigeon houses. Learn about the significance of pigeons in Cappadocia, both as a symbol of the Holy Spirit and for their use in agriculture. Snap photos of the famous tree adorned with evil eye beads.
Continue to a local stone production center to learn about the region’s stone trade, which began with obsidian and evolved to onyx. Discover how obsidian was used by ancient hunters and gatherers.
Afterward, explore one of Cappadocia’s most special museums, an underground city. These ancient shelters, dating back to 1200 BC, were used by Christians to hide from persecution. Learn how people lived underground, including how they obtained oxygen, water, and food.
Then, travel to Aksaray to visit the Ihlara Valley, the greenest part of Cappadocia. Walk along the river and see churches built by Christians from the 4th century onwards. Enjoy the tranquility of this canyon, the largest in the world with human habitation.
Finally, visit the Selime Cathedral, located at the end of the valley. Dating back to the 8th and 9th centuries, this complex includes a kitchen, monastery, cathedral, church, chapel, winery, and rooms. Admire its grandeur and learn about its later use as a caravanserai and fortress during the Seljuk period.
