Itinerary
Goreme Panorama
Goreme Panorama shows a landscape formed by solidified lava streams, ash, and tuff stone dating from the Neocene period. Deep valleys carved by erosion cross the area, creating unique geological formations. The landscape consists of tuff deposits shaped by thousands of years of erosion into pyramids and cones.
30 min
Uchisar Castle
Uchisar is a troglodyte village 4 km east of Goreme, known for a huge rock fortress. It is the highest peak in Cappadocia and offers wide views including Mt. Erciyes. Rooms inside connect through stairs, tunnels, and passages, many with millstone doors to control access. Some rooms on the north side still serve as pigeon houses, used by farmers to collect droppings for fertilizer.
30 min
Kaymakli Underground City
Kaymakli Underground City lies beneath a hill called the Citadel of Kaymakli. Opened to visitors in 1964, it consists of about 100 tunnels forming a multi-level underground settlement. Currently, four of eight floors are accessible to the public. The city has low and narrow passages organized around ventilation shafts, with some areas still used by locals for storage and stables.
60 min
Goreme Open Air Museum
The Goreme Open Air Museum is a complex of over 10 medieval painted cave churches carved by Orthodox monks. It also includes rectories, dwellings, and a religious school, all arranged around a roughly ring-shaped rock formation. Visitors follow a marked path in a counterclockwise direction to see the churches, each named by nearby villages based on notable features.
60 min
Pasabag Vadisi
Pasabag, also called Monks Valley, is notable for earth pillars located in the middle of a vineyard, giving it the name Pasha's vineyard. The name Pasha means 'General' in Turkish. Distinct cones carved from tuff stone stand apart from the rest, situated next to the road alongside the vineyard.
60 min
Pigeon Valley
Pigeon Valley features thousands of pigeon houses carved into volcanic rock formations. The conical shapes result from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago and subsequent erosion. Many of these fairy chimneys contain caves and labyrinths carved into tufa, a soft stone formed by natural forces.
30 min
Avanos
Avanos is a town in the center of Cappadocia known for its pottery. The tour includes a stop at a pottery workshop where guests can watch a demonstration and have the option to try pottery making themselves.
30 min
Devrent Valley
Devrent Valley, also called Imaginary or Pink Valley, does not have cave churches but is famous for its lunar landscape. The valley contains many small fairy chimneys and rock formations shaped like animals such as camels, snakes, seals, and dolphins.
