- Avanos - Delight in a buffet-style lunch in Avanos, featuring a diverse selection of Turkish cuisine, including mezes, salads, meat and vegetarian dishes, and desserts. While in Avanos, explore a genuine family-operated pottery workshop situated in an underground cave. The clay from the Kızılırmak (Red) River was first utilized by the Hittites for pottery production before 1700 BC and remains an art form today. Observe a master potter at work and watch as painters and glazers apply intricate patterns. Try your hand at the potter’s wheel and create your own unique piece if desired.
- Pasabag - In Paşabağı (also known as Monks Valley due to the Chapel of Saint Simeon located there), stroll through the distinctive clusters of multi-headed mushroom-shaped “fairy chimneys” (rock formations).
- Devrent Valley - Devrent Valley (“Imagination Valley”) is a breathtaking area where visitors can discover natural rock formations in various recognizable shapes, including the renowned camel-shaped rock. Let your imagination run wild and see what other shapes you can identify.
- Zelve Open Air Museum - At the Zelve Open Air Museum, the guide will discuss the significance of Christianity and monastic life in Cappadocia before allowing you to explore the 10th and 11th-century cave churches and monasteries adorned with beautifully painted frescoes depicting famous biblical scenes.
- Love Valley - Visitors will explore the breathtaking landscapes of Love Valley, one of Cappadocia’s most renowned natural attractions. The valley is celebrated for its striking fairy chimneys, unique rock formations, and panoramic viewpoints offering stunning views of the Cappadocian scenery.

Great experience - worth it - Ferhan and Kemal were very kind and helpful. The tour has everything you need and they customize it to your preferences. If you like open air museums, Ferran tells you which is better, just to give an example, but it’s you who makes the decision. It’s really worth the price you pay for the tour. A great experience to visit Cappadocia. I definitely recommend it

Great way to spend a day - Ismail (our guide) and Candan our driver were great. We went to more sites than promised and had plenty of time at each. The van ride was comfortable.
