The Red Tour takes you to Göreme open-air museum, Cappadocia’s most renowned tourist spot, along with Paşabağ, Devrent, and Honey (Love) valleys where you can marvel at stunning geological formations created by the forces of nature.
The Cappadocia region was formed 60 million years ago by the erosion of soft layers of lava and ash from Mount Erciyes (Argeus), Mount Hasan, and Mount Güllü, with the constantly changing effects of wind and rain over millennia.
The inhabitation of human beings in the Cappadocia region traces back to the Paleolithic era. The place where the Hittites resided once was one of the significant bases of Christianity in subsequent times. The homes and churches hewn into the caves and rocks transformed this region into a grand sanctuary for Christians fleeing from the dominance of the Roman Empire.
Cappadocia encompasses an area that includes several provinces, specifically Nevsehir, Kirsehir, Nigde, Aksaray, and Kayseri.
