Cappadocia Private Mix Tour

Our tour begins at a recommended time of 09:30 with a hotel pick-up in Cappadocia. First, we visit the Göreme panoramic viewpoint for an introduction to the region's history and landscape.

We visit Pigeon Valley near Uçhisar for panoramic views and pigeon houses.

We stop at Uchisar Castle - this rocky fortress is the highest point of Cappaocia. Then we explore Derinkuyu Underground City, once known as Melagobia. This 8-level city, the deepest in the region, sheltered up to 20,000 people. Your guide will explain how people used it for protection from persecution. Derinkuyu is connected to Kaymakli by an 8 km tunnel.

At Devrent Valley, also called Imagination Valley, the hoodoo landforms, known here as fairy chimneys, take on all sorts of animal shapes including a well-known camel rock formation.

We then visit the incredible rock formations at Love Valley and then Paşabağı, also known as Monk’s Valley, where we see the famous mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys as well as St. Simeon’s monk cell carved into the rock .

Our next stop is Zelve Open Air Museum. Your guide will give you an overview of the history  about this Byzantine complex of churches before leaving you free to discover the impressive rock-hewn churches of the site.

We lunch in Avanos and visit this attractive town with cobbled streets, pottery workshops and views over the river. We walk along the Red River and cross over on the suspension footbridge. We will see a kick-wheel pottery demonstration and you are welcome to try your hand at this tradition.

Our last stop is to discover the mysteries of one of Cappadocia's underground cities, where ancient civilizations carved entire communities deep beneath the earth. Wander through narrow tunnels, hidden chambers, and centuries-old living spaces that reveal a fascinating glimpse into the past.

At the end of this day packed with sights and experiences we bring you back to your hotel, concluding the tour around 17:00.
