First day in Cappadocia

Cappadocia, which is commonly thought to be a region of Nevşehir, is actually spread over a wide area, including Nevşehir, but also the central Anatolian cities of Kayseri, Kırşehir, Aksaray and Niğde.

After your arrival at Kayseri or Nevşehir Airport and meeting at the Airport, our Cappadocia tour will begin with a visit to Devrent Valley, notable for its oddly shaped rock formations that, with a little imagination, can resemble seals, kneeling camels and various other animals. We will have a pleasant walk in this uniquely beautiful valley of Cappadocia.

Then we will continue our tour with Paşabağ valley (Monk Valley). Known as both the Pasabag Valley and the "Valley of the Priests", these wonderful landscapes that have preserved their shape for centuries adorn the valley and greet all visitors.

After the Pasabag valley, we will move to Avanos town, which attracts great attention with its red pottery and jugs produced in the region. The longest river in Turkey, the Kızılırmak, passes through the town of Avanos. After lunch, we will visit the Goreme Open Air Museum, which has no other example in the world, to visit churches, chapels and monasteries that were completely carved into the rocks from the 10th to 13th centuries and whose walls were painted with frescoes.

Before returning to our hotel, we will take a scenic tour around the area to take pictures of the unforgettable landscapes of Cappadocia.

Do not forget to talk to your guide for the hot air balloon tour at sunrise on the second day.

You can also consider attending a Turkish night or whirling dervish show in Cappadocia in the evening.

After a delicious lunch in the heart of Cappadocia, we will visit Ortahisar Castle, which has been used as a settlement for ages.
