WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1. Goreme Panorama
GOREME PANORAMA, The most magnificent landscape around Göreme has been formed from its solidified lava streams, its ash and tuff stone, all dating from Neocene period. It is criss-crossed by deep valleys formed by heavy erosion. This veritable lunar landscape distinguishes itself by its extensive geological formations. The highly typical morphological structures of Cappadocia are the result of thousands of years of continual erosion, which has shaped the tuff deposits into the strangest pyramids and cones.
2. Uchisar Castle
UCHISAR is a troglodyte village situated 4 km east of Göreme. It is famous for the huge rock formation once used as a fortification. This extraordinary rock is the highest peak in the region and offers a magnificent panoramic view of the whole of Cappadocia with Mt. Erciyes in the distance.Most rooms in the castle are connected to each other with stairs, tunnels and passages. At the entrances of many rooms, there are millstone doors, just like the ones in the underground settlements, used to control access to these places. Due to erosion it is unfortunately not possible to reach all the rooms. Most of the rooms, located on the north side of the castle are still in use as pigeon houses (dovecotes) today. Farmers used these pigeon houses to collect the droppings of pigeons which is an excellent natural fertilizer for the orchards and vineyards.
3. Kaymakli Underground City
KAYMAKLI UNDERGROUND CITY is built under the hill known as the Citadel of Kaymaklı and was opened to visitors in 1964. The people of Kaymaklı (Enegup in Greek) have built their houses around nearly 100 tunnels of the underground city. The inhabitants of the region still use the most convenient places in the tunnels as cellars, storage areas and stables, which they access through their courtyards. Kaymaklı underground city has low, narrow and sloping passages. While the underground city consists of 8 floors below ground, only 4 of them are open to the public today, in which the spaces are organized around ventilation shafts.
4. Goreme Open-Air Museum
GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM, Cappadocia's most famous attraction, for good reason, is the Göreme Open Air Museum, a complex of medieval painted cave churches carved out by Orthodox monks. There are over 10 cave churches in the Göreme Open Air Museum. Along with rectories, dwellings, and a religious school, they form a large monastic complex carved out of a roughly ring-shaped rock formation in the otherworldly landscape of Cappadocia. The best way to explore the cave churches of Goreme is via the clearly marked path, working counterclockwise. Each one has a modern Turkish name, given by local villages based on a prominent feature.
5. Pasabag
PASABAG, Highly remarkable earth pillars can be seen here, in the middle of a vineyard, hence the name of the place which means: the Pasha’s vineyard. Pasha means "General", the military rank, in Turkish and it is a very common nick name. This site is also called Monks Valley. The name was derived from some cones carved in tuff stones which stand apart. Currently, there is a vineyard and a number of tuff cones standing right next to the road.
6. Pigeon Valley
PIGEON VALLEY, thousands of pigeon houses carved into the rock. It is a surreal vision: an outrageously phallic landscape straight out of a Salvador Dali painting. The conical formations are the result of volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years ago. Eons of wind, rain and other forces of nature have eaten away at the volcanic rock creating tufa, a soft and malleable stone. Many of these cones, known as fairy chimneys, contain caves and labyrinths.
7. Avanos
Avanos is a town in centre of Cappadocia and famous for pottery making we will make a stop in one of the pottery workshop and you will watch pottery demonstration also you can try yourself as well
8. Devrent Valley
DEVRENT VALLEY, Also known as Imaginary Valley or Pink Valley, this area does not have cave churches like the other valleys of Cappadocia. So what makes it so famous? The lunar landscape! Devrent Valley hides many different rock formations within. The small fairy chimneys in the valley form a lunar landscape, or moonscape, by their strange appearance. The valley has many animal-shaped rocks. Some of the most commonly seen shapes include camel, snake, seals, and dolphin

Our full-day tour of Cappadocia was an incredible experience! Our tour guide, Vedat, did an exceptional job guiding us through this breathtaking region. His extensive knowledge of the area’s history and culture added immense value to the tour. Vedat was not only informative but also very personable, making the tour both educational and enjoyable.

We visited several stunning sites, including the fairy chimneys, the Göreme Open-Air Museum, and the ancient cave dwellings, pottery shop, underground city. Vedat’s detailed explanations and captivating stories brought the history of these places to life. He was always ready to answer questions and provided fascinating insights that went beyond the typical tourist information.

The tour was well-organized, with comfortable transportation and a well-planned itinerary that allowed us to see the highlights of Cappadocia without feeling rushed. I highly recommend this tour to anyone visiting the area, especially with Vedat as your guide. His passion for the region and expertise truly made the day unforgettable.

We took the private tour.. our Guide Ismail Karatoprak was brilliant. He was very knowledgeable, calm and respectful. We are older so we're not physically fit enough to do a lot of climbing, he was very thoughtful and adjusted our tour to suite us. Over all we had a great experience and we still got to see a great deal. Everyone was very polite and helpful at every stop and we got to do it at our own pace, and we could stop where we wanted to without the hassle of having to keep up with others. Thank you for make a special day.

I went with my family for a short time and we decided to take a very good day tour because you know the main attractions of Cappadocia, our Ufuk Guide was very friendly and knew the area very well, also took us to places to take good photos.

We opted for a customised tour and were fortunate to have Mustafa as our tour guide. His knowledge and understanding of the area and its history was incredibly informative. He adapted the tour on short notice to accommodate our group and overall provided a very friendly and interesting tour.

I thought I already wrote a review but still shows open. We had a wonderful day, our guide and driver were on time, and they provided us with exactly what we wanted, a tour and explanation of the area. We were able to visit the best sites from both the North and South areas of Cappadocia, we could spend as much time or as little as we wanted, they gave us options and we made the decisions. The guide was full of helpful knowledge, we felt like we got so much more info than those poor people in the large group tours that were essentially turned loose in the sites visited. Thank you so much to Vedat, our guide, and our driver, also named Vedat. Hope I got that name correct, but I do know they both had the same name and it was odd because the guides said it was not a common name here.

Wonderful day touring both north and south areas of Cappadocia with Vedat as our tour guide and Vedat our driver. Very informative and love that we could stay longer or shorter as we wished. Would highly recommend a private tour like this one as opposed to one of the big bus tour groups.
