WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Goreme Panorama
GOREME PANORAMA, The most magnificent landscape around Göreme has been formed from its solidified lava streams, its ash and tuff stone, all dating from Neocene period. It is criss-crossed by deep valleys formed by heavy erosion. This veritable lunar landscape distinguishes itself by its extensive geological formations. The highly typical morphological structures of Cappadocia are the result of thousands of years of continual erosion, which has shaped the tuff deposits into the strangest pyramids and cones.
2. Uchisar Castle
UCHISAR is a troglodyte village situated 4 km east of Göreme. It is famous for the huge rock formation once used as a fortification. This extraordinary rock is the highest peak in the region and offers a magnificent panoramic view of the whole of Cappadocia with Mt. Erciyes in the distance.Most rooms in the castle are connected to each other with stairs, tunnels and passages. At the entrances of many rooms, there are millstone doors, just like the ones in the underground settlements, used to control access to these places. Due to erosion it is unfortunately not possible to reach all the rooms. Most of the rooms, located on the north side of the castle are still in use as pigeon houses (dovecotes) today. Farmers used these pigeon houses to collect the droppings of pigeons which is an excellent natural fertilizer for the orchards and vineyards.
3. Kaymakli Underground City
KAYMAKLI UNDERGROUND CITY is built under the hill known as the Citadel of Kaymaklı and was opened to visitors in 1964. The people of Kaymaklı (Enegup in Greek) have built their houses around nearly 100 tunnels of the underground city. The inhabitants of the region still use the most convenient places in the tunnels as cellars, storage areas and stables, which they access through their courtyards. Kaymaklı underground city has low, narrow and sloping passages. While the underground city consists of 8 floors below ground, only 4 of them are open to the public today, in which the spaces are organized around ventilation shafts.
4. Goreme Open-Air Museum
GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM, Cappadocia's most famous attraction, for good reason, is the Göreme Open Air Museum, a complex of medieval painted cave churches carved out by Orthodox monks. There are over 10 cave churches in the Göreme Open Air Museum. Along with rectories, dwellings, and a religious school, they form a large monastic complex carved out of a roughly ring-shaped rock formation in the otherworldly landscape of Cappadocia. The best way to explore the cave churches of Goreme is via the clearly marked path, working counterclockwise. Each one has a modern Turkish name, given by local villages based on a prominent feature.
5. Pasabag
PASABAG, Highly remarkable earth pillars can be seen here, in the middle of a vineyard, hence the name of the place which means: the Pasha’s vineyard. Pasha means "General", the military rank, in Turkish and it is a very common nick name. This site is also called Monks Valley. The name was derived from some cones carved in tuff stones which stand apart. Currently, there is a vineyard and a number of tuff cones standing right next to the road.
6. Pigeon Valley
PIGEON VALLEY, thousands of pigeon houses carved into the rock. It is a surreal vision: an outrageously phallic landscape straight out of a Salvador Dali painting. The conical formations are the result of volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years ago. Eons of wind, rain and other forces of nature have eaten away at the volcanic rock creating tufa, a soft and malleable stone. Many of these cones, known as fairy chimneys, contain caves and labyrinths.
7. Avanos
Avanos is a town in centre of Cappadocia and famous for pottery making we will make a stop in one of the pottery workshop and you will watch pottery demonstration also you can try yourself as well
8. Devrent Valley
DEVRENT VALLEY, Also known as Imaginary Valley or Pink Valley, this area does not have cave churches like the other valleys of Cappadocia. So what makes it so famous? The lunar landscape! Devrent Valley hides many different rock formations within. The small fairy chimneys in the valley form a lunar landscape, or moonscape, by their strange appearance. The valley has many animal-shaped rocks. Some of the most commonly seen shapes include camel, snake, seals, and dolphin

Mustafa was a great guide, very flexible with the itinerary and very accommodating of physical limitations we have. His knowledge was very good and he shared very interesting historical and social information about Turkey and the local area with us. His English was very good as well. The driver (the other Mustafa) was also great and drove very safely and took us to the many great scenic and historical locations.

We were a group of 7 with one senior citizen and one young child. The tour company was very flexible about the schedule which was very helpful due to the composition of our group and was in frequent communication with us before the tour. Baki was an excellent and patient guide during our full day tour of Capadoccia. He was knowledgeable about all the places he took us to. We got to visit a pottery workshop and a carpet making establishment. His recommendation for a restaurant for lunch was also great. Overall an enjoyable day and I would highly recommend this tour guide company.

We took a private tour with Sevda, whom we highly recommend. It is worth every lira. The guides are certified and have studied all aspects of Turkish culture, history and even the geology and nature of the region. This was also true of our visit to Morocco where the guides were indispensable, as well. Our guide was knowledgeable, enthusiastic and passionate about the history and geology of Cappadocia. She recommended a great restaurant, a women’s collective, that served authentic local food, and tailored our tour to our interests. The vehicle was comfortable and supplied with cold drinks. One note: we booked the private tour through TripAdvisor and got a much better deal than was recommended and quoted by our hotel.
