Istanbul - Guests will be picked up from their hotel (or Airbnb address if parking is available). For cruise passengers planning pre- or post-cruise travel, pick-up is available from Galataport Cruise Port with transfer to the airport for the flight to Cappadocia.
Cappadocia - Upon arrival in Cappadocia, a driver will greet guests at the exit gate of the arrival terminal, holding a sign with their name. Guests will be transported to their hotel for a brief refreshment before embarking on the semi-private guided tour scheduled for the day. This tour is organized as semi-private to ensure a more comfortable, high-quality, and personalized experience. By limiting the group to a maximum of 10 guests, closer interaction with the guide, smoother organization, and a relaxed pace are guaranteed. This approach allows guests to enjoy the destination without crowds, receive more individual attention, and make the most of every moment.
Fairy Chimneys - Cappadocia is renowned for its unique landforms. The Fairy Chimneys are the most prominent sites to visit, showcasing the harmonious existence of humankind and nature. On this tour, guests will see many examples of the Fairy Chimneys of Cappadocia, starting with the Three Beauties. Meet the most famous family of fairy chimneys: the Three Beauties, the official symbol of both Urgup and Cappadocia.
Goreme Open-Air Museum - The Goreme Open-Air Museum features an extensive monastic complex carved directly into the soft volcanic rock, including ancient churches, kitchens, wineries, storerooms, and living spaces once inhabited by Anatolian Christians. With its unique architectural details and beautifully preserved frescoes, the site offers a vivid window into early Christian life in Cappadocia. Its cultural and historical significance has earned it a place on the UNESCO World Heritage List.
Tokalı Church - The Tokalı Church (Buckle Church) in the Göreme Open Air Museum is considered one of the most beautiful of the Cappadocian cave churches. Its interior boasts some of the most outstanding frescoes, notable for their theological and artistic significance. The church is part of a larger complex that includes four churches and a hermitage, all dating back to the 9th century. Once the most famous church in the region, it remains one of the most impressive churches in the area today.
Ortahisar - The entire town is dominated by the 90-meter-high (300 ft) rock-castle in the center of the town, known as Sivrikoya by the locals. It is an extraordinary example of the rock-cut architecture typical of the region and served as a refuge from attackers in Byzantine times. Guests will see all this rock-cut architecture during a panoramic visit.
Avanos Oren Yeri - Today’s lunch will be served in a local restaurant in Avanos, where guests can try the “Testi Kebab,” a traditional kebab variety from the Cappadocia region of Turkey. (Vegetarian meals are also available at the same restaurant.) Avanos is a popular destination due to its charming old town with cobbled streets and views over the river. The ancient city of Avanos, known in ancient times as Venessa, overlooks Turkey’s longest river, the Kizilirmak (Red River), which also separates Avanos from the rest of Cappadocia. The most famous historical feature of Avanos, still relevant and visible today, is its production of earthenware pottery, which is the town’s main economic activity. The ceramic trade in this district and its countless pottery factories date back to the Hittites, and the ceramic clay from the red silt of the Kizilirmak has always been used.
Uchisar Castle - Uchisar rock castle is one of the biggest landmarks of Cappadocia. It is the highest tuff hill in the area with beautiful views of the surrounding valley full of bizarre rock formations. (There will be no visit to the rock castle due to walking difficulties and safety risks. Guests will have a stop for a panoramic view of this rock castle.)
Devrent Valley - Also known as Imagination Valley, this area contains many animal-shaped rocks, mostly in red color. Some of the most frequent shapes resemble a camel.
Cappadocia - At the end of the tour, guests will be returned to their hotel in Cappadocia.
