Description
Enjoy an 8-hour guided tour of Cappadocia. Visit underground cities, Red & Rose Valley, Cavusin, Ortahisar, Pigeon Valley, and Avanos.
Explore Cappadocia’s unique landscape and architecture on a full-day tour. See the Rose and Red Valley, known for sharp ridges that get painted in a riot of pink hues at sunset. Get lost in the beauty of Pigeon Valley, Ortahisar, and underground cities.
Go off the beaten path to visit Cavusin. This village is surrounded by a valley, which becomes gradually wider, known as Red Valley. See its famous rock churches.
Then, enjoy a tour of Pigeon Valley, named after the countless man-made dovecotes or pigeon houses carved into the soft volcanic tuff. Walk through a picturesque maze of rock formations.
Next, go down to the world of underground cities. Once a refuge for 15000 Christians, these settlements were of enormous value to the development of Christianity.
Witness the ancient bedrooms, church, meeting hall, and food storage rooms in this 8-story city connected by 30 kilometers of corridors and passageways.
Continue the tour with Ortahisar, famous for its friendly inhabitants, picturesque stone houses, narrow streets, and lovely churches. See the famous castle-like rock formation standing dominantly over the town. At the end of the tour, be driven back to your hotel.
