Duration:
07:00 hours
Description
Discover Cappadocia, the semi-arid region in central Turkey known for its distinctive fairy chimneys. Explore the tall, cone-shaped rock formations clustered in Monks Valley, Göreme and elsewhere.
Cappadocia is a geological oddity of honeycombed hills and towering boulders of otherworldly beauty. The fantastical topography is matched by the human history here. People used the region's soft stone to seek shelter underground, leaving the countryside scattered with fascinating man-made caves.
Discover the churches of Göreme Open Air Museum, carved into the rock and covered with frescoes. Explore the subterranean refuges of Derinkuyu and Kaymakli, the most famous sights in the region.
After hotel pickup, your first stop is at Devrent. Continue to Pasabag, then wander through the vineyards of Fairy Chimneys village. Have lunch at a local restaurant in Avanos, a center for terracotta art. In the afternoon, visit the world-famous Open Air Museum of Göreme to witness the Christian and Byzantine cave churches. End your day by climbing up to Uchisar Fortress, the highest point in Cappadocia.
