Overview

Itinerary

1. Stop 1 · 45m

   In this part, you will climb to the peak of Uçhisar Castle. This tall volcanic-rock outcrop is one of Cappadocia’s most prominent landmarks and is visible for miles around. Riddled with tunnels, it was used for centuries by villagers as a place of refuge when enemy armies overtook the surrounding plains.

2. Stop 2 · 1h 40m

   Enjoy a buffet-style lunch in Avanos, offering a wide range of Turkish food including mezes, salads, meat and vegetarian dishes and desserts.
   Still in Avanos, visit an authentic family-run pottery workshop located in an underground cave. Clay from the Kızılırmak (Red) River was first used in pottery production by the Hitites prior to 1700BC and continues as an art form today. Watch a master demonstrate how to make a pot, and watch the the painters and glazers apply their delicate patterns. Have a go at the potter’s wheel yourself and make your own unique pot if you wish.

3. Stop 3 · 1h

   In Paşabağı (also known as Monks Valley because of the Chapel of Saint Simeon found there) wander through the unusual clusters of multi-headed mushroom-shaped “fairy chimneys” (rock formations).

4. Stop 4 · 30m

   Devrent Valley (“Imagination Valley”) - a stunning valley where you can spot natural rock formations in many recognisable shapes, including the famous camel-shaped rock. Use your imagination and see what other shapes you can find.

5. Stop 5 · 1h 30m

   At Zelve Open Air museum the guide will explain the importance of Christianity and monastic life in Cappadocia before leaving you free to explore the 10th and 11th century cave churches and monasteries with beautifully painted frescoes depicting famous biblical scenes

6. Stop 6 · 20m

   visitors will explore the stunning landscapes of Love Valley, one of Cappadocia’s most famous natural attractions. The valley is known for its impressive fairy chimneys, unique rock formations, and panoramic viewpoints overlooking the beautiful Cappadocian scenery.
