Istanbul
Cappadocia
(Lunch
included)
The day begins with a
hotel pickup early in the morning. You will be driven to Istanbul Airport in
comfort for your flight to Nevsehir Airport. When you arrive in Nevsehir, you
will be greeted by our driver holding a sign with your name on it. Then the real
tour can begin! The first stop is Devrent Vadisi which means “Imagination Valley”. The
incredible Fairy Chimney landscape will make you feel like you're on another
planet! There are amazing double and triple-headed rock formations to see
there, too. Lunch will be Testi Kebabı which is an authentic Turkish beef dish
cooked in a clay pot, roughly translated to "Pottery Beef". Next,
you'll see the Kızılırmak which is the Red River. After the river, you'll
arrive right in the heart of Cappadocia at the Göreme Open Air Museum. At the Göreme Open Air Museum, there are original wall paintings from as early
as the 10th century and many rock-cut churches. You'll hear lots of interesting
stories about this area from your guide. Our last stop of the day will be Uchisar
Castle which is a staggering 1,350 metres tall. The first day of your tour will
finish at around sunset when you will be taken to a hotel for your overnight
stay.
(Breakfast
and Lunch included)
Your second day of
amazing sightseeing in Cappadocia will start with Kızıl Vadi or "Red
Valley". You will explore the famous churches that have been carved into
the rock and then walk amongst the breathtaking fairy chimneys. After your 4 km
walk (it won't feel that far with such stunning scenery to look at!), you will
arrive at a Greek village called Cavusin. Cavusin has the biggest cave church
in the region, the church of St John the Baptist.
After a stop for lunch, we'll head to the biggest underground city, Kaymaklı.
From there, we continue on to Pigeon Valley which is famous for its dovecotes.
The final stop of the day will be Ortahisar Castle, which has a stunning
panoramic view over the region as it's the highest point in Ortahisar. At the end of a wonderful second day, you'll be taken to the airport for your
flight back to Istanbul. In Istanbul, we'll have another friendly member of our
team ready and waiting to take you back to your hotel.
