Highlights

Cappadocia Day 1

Akseki - Pick up and Breakfast:
On the first day, our driver will pick you up from your hotel in Alanya. Our comfortable, fully air-conditioned coaches will take you on a 500km journey into the Taurus mountains. We’ll make a brief stop in Akseki, a charming small town, where you can enjoy breakfast at a local restaurant (not included in the price). You are also welcome to bring your own breakfast from your hotel.
Our guides and vehicles:
Our friendly and professional guides are extremely knowledgeable about the local area, especially Cappadocia. Throughout the 2-day excursion, they will be available to explain each stop and share interesting stories and legends about the places we visit. Feel free to ask as many questions as you like to make this a fully enjoyable experience. Our coaches are fully air-conditioned for your maximum comfort.

Saratli Kirkgoz - Saratli Underground City:
This mystical city is renowned for its natural architecture. During the Roman Byzantine period, the local population and Christians fleeing the Romans built into the surrounding mountains, creating completely hidden underground cities that protected them from marauding armies. The area was first opened to tourists in the 1950s.

Devrent Valley - Famous valleys of Cappadocia:
We will visit the different valleys of Monks, Devrent, Love, and Pigeon valleys on our trip. Each valley offers stunning scenery and is a must-see for photography enthusiasts.

Avanos - Avanos city tour:
Avanos is the capital city of the region, best known for its pottery production. Here, we will have the opportunity to watch local craftsmen demonstrate their unique kick-wheel techniques. Don’t worry, there will be time to buy important souvenirs to remember your visit.

Church Of St. John The Baptist (Vaftizci Yahya Kilisesi) - Cavusin Village and St John the Baptist church:
Cavusin is one of the oldest settlements in Cappadocia. This small hillside village is great to explore as local farm animals wander around. In the 1950s, a rock slide forced many residents to resettle elsewhere. Today, there is a unique hotel in the area that you can visit, which has been made inside a fairy chimney. The Church of St. John the Baptist is a 5th-century church that stands on top of the hill. Here, you can just make out the ancient frescoes of biblical scenes on the walls. It’s a great example of how powerful religion was back in those days and is a haunting yet peaceful site to explore.

Goreme Open-Air Museum - Goreme open-air museum:
Possibly the most popular site for tourists to visit, this open-air museum is a vast labyrinth of stone monasteries and churches. It is actually a UNESCO World Heritage site, and its importance to the story of Turkey cannot be understated. It is an easy 15-minute walk from Goreme village center, and those making the stroll are heavily rewarded with amazing rock-hewn architecture.

Cappadocia - Hotel in Cappadocia:
We will rest for the evening at a comfortable 5-star hotel. Here, you can enjoy dinner, which is included in the full tour price. Drinks are extra. Rest well as we will continue our exploration tomorrow.

On the second day, you have the opportunity to join a fully professional hot air balloon crew and soar like an eagle over this impressive scenery. There really is no better way to take a bird’s eye view than this most peaceful mode of transport. The balloon rides take place as the sun comes up, offering the best photo opportunities and memories that will stay with you for a lifetime.

Your hot air balloon experience is included in our price.

Cappadocia - Breakfast and checkout: We leave our hotel by having breakfast and continue our tour on the 2nd day.

Breakfast is included in the package. It’s important to eat up as we still have a lot of exploring to do.

The Three Beauties (Uc Guzeller) - Three beauties:
The three fairy chimneys of Urgup are a favorite with tourists due to the story of how they came to be. Legend has it that a princess once ran away with her love, who was a shepherd. Her father, the king, was not happy about her marrying such a lowly man, but once the couple had a child, the princess was confident that the king would forgive them. Sadly, this was not the case, and the princess, shepherd, and child were forced to flee. She begged to be turned into a bird or stone to escape her father, and God turned her into stone. Hence the three beauties fairy chimneys.

Urgup - Caravansary:
On our return to Alanya, we will stop at a local Caravansary or inn. This is one of the largest of its kind in the area and gives us an idea of what life was like for the old traders of the Silk Road.
