Overview

The Cappadocia Green Tour in Goreme lasts about eight to nine hours and includes visits to several important sites. The tour starts with a thirty-minute stop at Goreme Panorama, where visitors can see views of Goreme and much of Cappadocia, take photos, and hear explanations from the guide. Next, the group travels to Derinkuyu Underground City, the largest and deepest underground city in the region, with eight levels featuring kitchens, sitting rooms, restrooms, tombs, stables, and a missionary school. The guide provides detailed information about each level. After Derinkuyu, the tour continues to Ihlara Valley, the biggest and deepest canyon in Cappadocia. Visitors walk about 300 to 400 meters to Agacalti Church, a well-preserved church in the valley. Then, the tour includes a three-kilometer walk along the Melendiz River to Belisirma Village, where lunch is served near the river. In the afternoon, the group visits Selime Monastery, known as the oldest cathedral in Cappadocia. Visitors explore sections such as the kitchen, missionary school, church, and smaller chapels. The frescoes are somewhat difficult to see. The monastery roof offers a wide landscape view. The final stop is Pigeon Valley, where visitors can see hundreds of pigeon houses, feed pigeons, and take panoramic photos. The tour includes entrance fees, lunch, all taxes, and air conditioning on the vehicle. Two shopping stops are made during the day: one at an Onyx Stone Art Craft Center and another at a Dry Nuts Center. This tour is not recommended for travelers with claustrophobia due to the visit to the underground city.
