Description

Explore the stunning Fairy Chimneys in the Ürgüp Valley and the captivating Valley of Love on this enriching day excursion in Cappadocia. We will also uncover the remarkable Özkonak underground city, a true highlight of the region.

Tour Overview

Your adventure commences with a prompt pickup from your accommodation in Cappadocia, leading you into the heart of this extraordinary area known for its unique landscape and geological formations.

This Cappadocia tour kicks off with a visit to the striking Fairy Chimneys in the Ürgüp Valley. Here, tales surrounding these geological wonders come alive as you admire the breathtaking scenery. Following this, we proceed to the mesmerizing Valley of Love, where the exceptional vistas are sure to leave a lasting impression.

Our journey continues to Ortahisar Castle, an impressive rock feature dominating the skyline. This historic fortress offers panoramic views of the valley below and is a must-see landmark.

Once you have taken in the sights, we will make our way to the town center, where you can take a break for lunch, should you choose.

The exploration then leads us to the underground city of Özkonak. This intriguing site was unveiled in 1972 when a farmer named Latif Acar stumbled upon it while searching for irrigation. Subsequent digs revealed a massive underground complex that could accommodate up to 60,000 residents for extended periods, making this discovery truly monumental.

At the conclusion of our adventure lasting approximately 6-7 hours, we will return you to your hotel in Cappadocia.
