Private 2 Days Cappadocia Tour

Tour Itinerary

Day 1: Private Red Tour Cappadocia

The Private Cappadocia Red Tour begins at 10:00 AM from your hotel in Goreme (or earlier from other towns). The first stop is the Goreme Open Air Museum, one of Cappadocia’s most famous attractions, featuring nine ancient rock-cut churches adorned with Byzantine frescoes.

This UNESCO World Heritage Site (since 1985) was once a thriving monastic complex, and your guide will provide insights into its historical and cultural significance.

After spending 1.5 hours at the museum, we will head to Love Valley Panorama Point, where you can admire stunning fairy chimneys and panoramic views of Red and Rose Valleys.

Next, we visit Pasabag Fairy Chimneys, also known as Monks Valley, home to multi-headed fairy chimneys, some of the best-preserved in Cappadocia. Your guide will explain the fascinating geological formations and history of the region.

We then proceed to Avanos, a town known for its 4,000-year-old pottery-making tradition along the Red River. Here, you will witness a live kick-wheel pottery demonstration, showcasing a craft passed down from the Hittite civilization.

Following this, we will visit Devrent Valley (Imagination Valley), famous for its unique rock formations resembling animals and objects, including the famous camel-shaped fairy chimney. The naturally sculpted rocks allow for creative interpretations, making this valley a fun and scenic stop.

At 4:00 PM, we will return you to your hotel for the evening.

Day 2: Private Green Tour Cappadocia

Your guide and driver will pick you up from your hotel at 9:30 AM for the Private Green Tour, which takes you to the less-explored yet equally stunning parts of Cappadocia.

The first stop is Goreme Panorama Point, where you will get breathtaking views of Goreme Town and its surrounding valleys. Your guide will provide an overview of the region’s geology, landscape, and history.

Next, we visit Derinkuyu Underground City, the largest underground city in Cappadocia, descending 60 meters below the surface. This ancient settlement features storage rooms, kitchens, churches, living quarters, and ventilation shafts, showcasing how early inhabitants used these cities as a refuge.

From here, we travel to Ihlara Canyon, one of Turkey’s most picturesque canyons. We will take a scenic 3-kilometer hike along the Melendiz River, passing by rock-carved Byzantine churches adorned with frescoes. The hike concludes in the village of Belisirma, where you will have free time for lunch at a local restaurant by the river.

We then drive to Selime Monastery, the largest religious structure in Cappadocia. Here, you can explore the rock-carved church, cathedral, kitchen, and monastic dormitories, all offering impressive views of the surrounding landscape.

The tour concludes with a visit to Pigeon Valley Panorama, where you can take in the stunning views of Uchisar Castle and thousands of carved pigeon houses, once used by locals for collecting pigeon droppings as fertilizer. At 5:30 PM, we will return you to your hotel, marking the end of your unforgettable Private 2-Day Cappadocia Tour.
