Pick-up from your hotel around 10:00 AM. Start the day with a scenic hike through Red Valley, one of Cappadocia’s most picturesque landscapes. The valley is famous for its dramatic sandstone ridges and rich red hues, offering a unique blend of natural beauty and historical rock-cut dwellings. The hike allows you to experience the serene beauty of Cappadocia while walking among fairy chimneys and hidden cave churches.
Continue to Cavusin Village, an ancient monastic settlement with a fascinating history. Once home to early Christian communities, this abandoned village features rock-cut homes and churches carved into the cliffs. Your guide will explain the history of Cavusin, from its early days as a religious center to its eventual abandonment due to erosion.
Enjoy a lunch break at a local restaurant, where you will savor traditional Turkish dishes in a warm and authentic atmosphere. After lunch, visit Kaymakli Underground City, one of the largest and deepest underground cities in Cappadocia. Explore its network of tunnels, rooms, and ventilation shafts, and learn about how ancient civilizations used these subterranean cities for protection against invasions.
The tour continues with a stop at a famous onyx workshop, where you will witness skilled artisans working with unique stones like Zultanite, a rare gemstone found in Turkey. Learn about the craftsmanship behind Cappadocia’s onyx production and its significance in Turkish culture. End the day at Pigeon Valley, a panoramic viewpoint offering stunning views of the Cappadocian landscape.
