Tour Highlights
Day 1
Your experience begins with a pickup from your Antalya hotel, setting the stage for our exploration of Cappadocia. Get ready for an unparalleled adventure!
As we depart, we’ll stop for breakfast amidst the stunning Taurus Mountains, reaching an impressive elevation of 1,825 meters (5,987 feet) above sea level. The panoramic vistas offered here are simply awe-inspiring!
We’ll navigate through the regions of Konya, Alsaray, and Nev?ehir, arriving at the underground city of Saratli. This site, built by Christian inhabitants as a safeguard against Arab incursions, will serve as an intriguing introduction to the mysteries of Cappadocia. Additionally, we’ll uncover historical sites such as the ancient towns of Kaya and Çam Kulesi, a Byzantine fortress from the 13th century, and a church honoring the Virgin Mary.
At midday, we'll pause for lunch at a local restaurant (not included). Refreshed, our Cappadocia adventure continues as we explore the Devrent Valley, renowned for its enchanting rock formations or fairy chimneys. This location is often referred to as the Valley of Imagination.
Next, we’ll visit the picturesque village of Cavusin, celebrated for its traditional architecture. Here, we’ll explore the Church of St. John the Baptist and enjoy breathtaking views of the Cappadocian landscape from a scenic viewpoint.
Our day wraps up with a visit to the Göreme Open Air Museum, showcasing chapels and churches intricately chiseled into the rocky terrain—a perfect culmination of a day filled with historical exploration.
We will finally reach our hotel, where a delightful dinner and a well-deserved evening of relaxation await.
Day 2
The second day in Cappadocia begins after a hearty breakfast at the hotel, leading us to the banks of the Red River. Here, you will be surrounded by an enchanting landscape, featuring stunning fairy chimneys, expansive caves, and lush valleys.
Our tour will then proceed to the Valley of the Doves, located between Göreme and Uchisar. Ascending to Cappadocia’s highest vantage point, you’ll be rewarded with sweeping views that highlight the unique beauty of the fairy chimneys.
After this immersive experience, you’ll have free time to enjoy lunch at a nearby establishment. Afterward, we’ll prepare for our return journey to your hotel in Antalya, with arrival expected between 7 and 8 pm.
