The Green Tour in Cappadocia offers a breathtaking and in-depth exploration of this surreal landscape. Known for its unusual rock formations, ancient underground cities, and panoramic views, Cappadocia is a treasure trove of natural and historical marvels. The Green Tour covers some of the region’s best destinations, taking travelers to the more remote areas that are often missed on shorter excursions. Designed for a full-day experience, the tour typically begins in the heart of Cappadocia and explores areas rich in both history and stunning landscapes.

A primary highlight of the Green Tour is the Derinkuyu Underground City. This multi-level city, carved deep beneath the surface, was used as a shelter by early Christians to escape persecution. It is one of the most complex underground cities in the world, with storage rooms, kitchens, stables, and ventilation shafts. Walking through the narrow, cool passageways, visitors can feel the ingenuity and resilience of the people who once called this hidden city home.

Following the underground city, the tour typically takes visitors to the Ihlara Valley. This lush, green canyon stretches for nearly 16 kilometers, with a river winding through it and towering cliffs on either side. The valley is a popular spot for a leisurely hike, allowing travelers to soak in the serene natural beauty and the numerous rock-cut churches adorned with frescoes. The valley’s tranquility, combined with its historical and spiritual significance, makes it a favorite spot among tourists.

The final stop usually includes a visit to the Pigeon Valley and Göreme Panoramic Point. Pigeon Valley is named for the numerous pigeon houses carved into the cliffs, which were historically used by farmers to harvest pigeon droppings as fertilizer. The viewpoint offers a fantastic overview of Cappadocia's fairy chimneys and iconic rock formations, a fitting end to a tour filled with natural wonders, history, and remarkable architecture.
