- Saratli Kirkgoz - Saratlı Kırkgöz Underground City is located about 22 kilometers (13 miles) from Nevşehir, in the Saratlı district of Cappadocia. Thought to originate from the Roman and early Byzantine periods, this underground city was carved into soft volcanic rock and served as a refuge during invasions and unrest. It includes multiple levels with living quarters, storage rooms, kitchens, ventilation shafts, and defensive stone doors to protect its residents.
Although smaller than some of Cappadocia’s more renowned underground cities, Saratlı provides a quieter and more intimate exploration experience. Its well-preserved tunnels and chambers offer visitors a clear insight into how ancient communities lived underground for safety and survival. The site is easy to navigate and provides an authentic glimpse into the region’s captivating subterranean heritage.
- Agzikarahan Hani - Ağzıkarahan Caravanserai is an impressive 13th-century Seljuk structure located along the historic Silk Road, roughly 15 kilometers from Aksaray. Constructed in 1231 during the reign of Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I, it served as a secure resting place for merchants and caravans traveling between Asia and Europe.
The caravanserai boasts an impressive stone portal, a spacious courtyard, and a covered hall where travelers and their animals could find shelter, food, and protection. Its robust architecture and intricate stone craftsmanship reflect the power and architectural sophistication of the Seljuk era. Today, Ağzıkarahan remains one of the best-preserved caravanserais in the region, offering visitors a glimpse into Cappadocia’s significant role in medieval trade and cultural exchange.
- Lake Tuz - Tuz Gölü is one of Turkey’s largest salt lakes and one of the most remarkable natural landscapes in Central Anatolia. Positioned between Ankara, Konya, and Aksaray, the lake is famous for its stunning white salt flats that create a surreal, mirror-like reflection during certain seasons.
With its expansive open horizon and crystallized salt surface, Tuz Gölü provides visitors with a unique walking experience and exceptional photo opportunities. Depending on the season and water level, guests may walk on the shallow surface and observe the natural salt formations up close. The lake is also a vital habitat for various bird species, making it both a scenic and ecologically important destination.
