Service Details
Your private guide and driver will pick you up directly from your hotel at your preferred time, offering complete flexibility and comfort throughout the day. Begin the tour with a visit to Mustafapasa (Sinasos), a picturesque village with remarkable Greek architecture.
Stroll through quiet streets, admire the beautifully preserved stone houses, and listen to your guide’s insights into the town’s rich history, which changed dramatically after the population exchange of 1923.
Continue to Sobessos (Sahinefendi), an archaeological site discovered in 2002, showcasing Roman-era mosaics and an ancient bath complex. Unlike group tours, your private guide will ensure an in-depth exploration, giving you ample time to appreciate the details of this hidden ancient settlement.
Next, head to Soganli Valley, a peaceful and untouched Open Air Museum. This valley is home to numerous rock-cut churches, adorned with well-preserved Byzantine frescoes from the 9th–13th centuries. Enjoy a relaxed hike through the valley, taking in its natural beauty and historical charm while avoiding large crowds.
At midday, take a leisurely lunch break at a carefully selected local restaurant, where you can enjoy traditional Turkish cuisine in a scenic setting. After lunch, visit Keslik Monastery, a hidden monastic site carved into the rock. Unlike other monasteries, its frescoes are concealed beneath a layer of smoke residue, visible only by flashlight—an exclusive experience that makes this visit truly unique.
The tour continues to Taskinpasa, where you will admire Seljuk-era architecture, including a 13th-century madrasah and mosque that reflect the artistic influence of the Seljuk Turks in Cappadocia. After a day filled with history, culture, and stunning landscapes, return to your hotel in the comfort of your private vehicle, with plenty of time to reflect on the incredible sites you’ve explored.
