Tour Details

Your private tour begins with a personalized hotel pick-up, where your guide will greet you and tailor the day’s journey to your interests. The first stop is Kaymakli or Derinkuyu Underground City, where you’ll explore a vast subterranean world. As one of Cappadocia’s deepest and most extensive underground settlements, this city once provided refuge for thousands of people.

Your private guide will share in-depth historical insights while ensuring you have ample time to wander through the tunnels, ventilation shafts, and living quarters at your own pace. Next, head to Ihlara Canyon, a hidden gem with lush greenery and stunning rock formations. Enjoy a leisurely hike through the scenic valley, passing by centuries-old rock-carved churches and monasteries.

Unlike group tours, you can set your own walking speed, take breaks whenever you wish, and fully embrace the tranquility of this natural paradise. At the end of the hike, arrive at Belisirma Village, where a carefully selected riverside restaurant awaits. Savor a traditional lunch in a serene setting, surrounded by Cappadocia’s breathtaking landscape.

After lunch, visit Selime Monastery, an architectural wonder carved into the cliffs. As the largest rock-cut religious complex in Cappadocia, it boasts grand cathedral-like interiors and an intriguing history. With a private guide, you’ll enjoy exclusive access to detailed explanations about its past as a monastic settlement and its role in early Christianity.

Conclude the tour with a comfortable private transfer back to your hotel, leaving you with unforgettable memories of Cappadocia’s natural and historical treasures.
