We’ll transport you to distant locations around Goreme on a minibus, guided by an English-speaking tour leader. Discover hard-to-reach corners of Cappadocia that would be challenging to find without our service.
You are going to be picked up by our driver and tour guide from your hotel at 9:30AM, our first stop of the day is Göreme Panorama. It’s a great place to get acquainted with Cappadocia’s famed fairy chimneys.
Then, we will drive about 40 minutes from Goreme Panorama to Derinkuyu Underground which is the biggest and deepest underground city of Cappadocia Region. The underground city of Derinkuyu is buried in mystery. No one knows when or why it was built, how many people it housed, or even how deep it really goes. Many theories about its history abound but no one really knows for sure.
No one really knows for sure but it’s estimated that up to 20,000 people lived in Derinkuyu at any given time. It contained churches, food stores, livestock stalls, wine cellars, schools, even commercial spaces. There’s a ventilation system to filter out smoke and an irrigation system that supplied drinking water from wells filled by an underground river. Places like this make you realize how remarkable human ingenuity is.
Next stop will be Ihlara Valley, we will walk around 15 minutes near our lunch restaurant. After hiking, we will give a break for lunch in Belisirma Village in a local restaurant near by Melendiz River. We will have a chance to local foods of Ihlara Canyon.
After lunch, we will get on our tour minibus and we will drive approximately 15 minutes from middle of Ihlara Valley to Selime Village. Then, we will reach Selime Monastery and Star Wars Area. We will stop a panoramic view point to take Selime Monastery and Star Wars Photos.
After taking photos Selime Monastery and Star Wars, we will drive back toward to Goreme Area approximately one and hald hour. Then, we will stop local Onxy Workshop. We will see different gem stones and some jewelleries. The last stop on today’s Green Tour — beautiful Pigeon Valley. A valley connecting Uchisar to Göreme, there are many pigeon houses here hence the name. As previously described, farmers used these pigeon houses to collect their droppings which are an excellent natural fertilizer.
