Saratli Underground City: This mystic city is famous for its natural architecture. During the Roman Byzantine period the local population and the Christians who were fleeing the Romans built into the surrounding mountains. They managed to create completely hidden, underground cities which protected them from maurauding armies. In the 1950’s the area was first opened to tourists

Famous valleys of Cappadocia: We will visit the different valleys of Monks, Devrent, Love and Pigeon valleys on our trip. Each valley contains amazing scenery and is a must for photography lovers.

Avanos city tour: Avanos is the capital city of the region and is most famous for its pottery production. Here we will have the opportunity to watch local craftsmen perform their unique kick-wheel techniques. Don’t worry there is always time to buy important souvenirs to remember your visit.

Cavusin Village and St John the Baptist church: Cavusin is one of the oldest settlements in Cappadocia. This small hillside village is great to explore as local farm animals wonder around. In the 1950’s a rock slide forced many of the population to re-settle elsewhere. Today there is a unique hotel in the area that you can visit which has been made inside a fairy chimney. The church of St John the Baptist is a 5th century church that stands on the top of the hill. Here you can just make out the ancient frescos of biblical scenes on the walls. It’s a great example of how powerful religion was back in those days and is a haunting yet peaceful site to explore.

Goreme open air museum: Possibly the most popular site for tourists to visit, this open air museum is a vast labyrinth of stone monasteries and churches. It is actually a UNESCO world heritage site and it’s importance to the storey of Turkey can not be under played. It is an easy 15 minute walk from Goreme village centre and those making the stroll are heavily rewarded with amazing rock hewn architecture.

Hotel in Cappadocia: We will rest for the evening at a comfortable 5 star hotel. Here you can enjoy dinner which is included in the full tour price. Drinks are extra. Rest well as we will continue our exploration tomorrow.
