- Kaymakli Underground City - After a 40-minute drive, the tour arrives at the underground city. Initially used by locals as a natural deep freeze, it later served as a refuge against potential Arab attacks during the Late Roman period. Visitors will spend about an hour here, guided by clear explanations from the tour guide.
While exploring the underground city, visitors will sense the mysterious essence of the past and gain insight into the living conditions of that era by delving into its historical depths. The guide will explain the history, purpose, and significant details of the underground city, enhancing understanding of this unique structure. Visitors can then freely wander through the labyrinths of this mystical underground city, explore the mysterious corridors, and follow the traces of time. The underground city offers an exciting journey into the unique history of Cappadocia.
- Ihlara Valley - It takes approximately 45 minutes to reach Ihlara Canyon, located 52 km from the underground city. Visitors will arrive at the entrance of Ihlara Valley, formed by volcanic activity from the nearby Hasan Mountain. Over millions of years, the Melendiz River eroded the valley, causing layers to crack and fall, eventually forming an 80-meter deep canyon. The entire valley stretches 14 km, with a 3.5 km hike planned. The walk will take about 1 hour and 15 minutes, followed by lunch at a restaurant.
While exploring the unique natural beauty of Ihlara Valley, visitors will also experience its historical and cultural significance. They will witness the rich history and spiritual atmosphere of the region while hiking through the valley, where churches are carved into rocks. During the lunch break, visitors can enjoy the impressive view of the valley.
- Narligol Krater Golu - Narlıgöl, also known as Narlı Lake, is a volcanic crater lake in Turkey’s Central Anatolia region. Situated at an altitude of around 2,165 meters (7,103 feet) above sea level, it is one of Turkey’s highest lakes. The name Narlıgöl translates to “Pomegranate Lake” in Turkish, due to the reddish color of its water, resembling pomegranate juice. Surrounded by beautiful natural scenery, it is a popular spot for hiking, picnicking, and camping, attracting both locals and tourists.
- Pigeon Valley - The guide will share some of Anatolia’s traditions, cultures, and stories along the way. Upon arrival at Pigeon Valley, visitors will be greeted by pigeons at the top of the valley. Pigeons have always been significant for Cappadocians, with their eggs and droppings used for various purposes. Locals carved houses for them on the valley slopes, and visitors will understand why they are called “houses” upon seeing them.
At the top of Pigeon Valley, visitors will have the opportunity to closely observe the habitat and importance of pigeons while enjoying the stunning views and prehistoric atmosphere. This unique experience allows for an appreciation of Cappadocia’s natural and cultural heritage.
