Highlights
  • Devrent Valley - After pickup from your Cappadocia hotel in the morning, travel to the extraordinary Devrent Valley to see its clustered collections of volcanic cones, pinnacles and other unique rock formations. Learn about the fascinating erosion process that has sculpted these strangely shaped rocks from your guide.

  • Pasabag - Continue to Pasabag, also known as Monks Valley, where bizarre, mushroom-shaped rock pinnacles rear up from the surrounding vineyards. Take photos of these surreal formations and hear how hermits and monks once made shelters in their cones.

  • Avanos - Next, head to Avanos, where you will participate in a pottery-making workshop. Admire the dexterity of the potters at work, and take the opportunity to spin and create your own pottery masterpiece as you learn more about one of Turkey’s oldest crafts.

  • Goreme National Park - Stop for lunch at a restaurant near the UNESO World Heritage Site that is the Göreme Open-Air Museum. Then, after your included lunch, head inside this spectacular museum to see its ancient, rock-hewn churches, chapels and monasteries.

After your visit, return to your coach and finish your tour with a drop-off at your hotel.

Benjamin had extensive knowledge of the history of the area and pointed out unique facts along the route. The outside museum was great. Benjamin catered to our needs (changing lunch to be later as we were not yet hungry). Tafana restaurant was good and we managed to sample the famous Cappadocia Testi kebap.

Our first time to Cappadocia and what... - Our first time to Cappadocia and what an amazing experience it was. We were not aware of such history existed within central Turkey. We visited Devrent Valley, Open Air Museum and Monk Valley. Monk Valley was our favourite site, the structures and chimneys were mind-blowing. The art in the caves at the Open Air Museum were incredible and had such detail. Lunch was at a authentic restaurant with pleasant staff and amazing food. Hafiz our guide was brilliant he was very informative and left nothing out. He also answered every question he was asked. Full of knowledge and an amazing guide. He was polite and always kept us in the loop for everything we were doing and had planned to do. His love and admiration for his home town Cappadocia was heartfelt. Highly recommend this tour as Cappadocia has so much to offer.
