- Kaymakli Underground City - Kaymakli Underground City was carved out by the Hittites nearly 3,500 years ago and it was used by early Christian tribes as a main shelter to protect themselves from invading armies coming in from the East. Marvel at the tunnels, storage rooms, ventilation shafts, remains of a church and much more. - Love Valley - The local inhabitants have proudly named one of the many valleys in the region ‘Love Valley’, due to the many unique phallic-shaped rock formations which cover the valley floor at an altitude above 1,000m high. This has become a popular place for taking memorable photos. - Uchisar Castle - Uçhisar Castle is crisscrossed by numerous underground passageways and rooms, which are now mostly blocked or impassable but which served as residential areas and, perhaps, cloisters in Byzantine times. Perhaps around 1,000 people once lived in the castle although it is no longer inhabited today. We will do sightseeing and spent 15 minutes here - Pigeon Valley - Güvercinlik Valley, starting from Uçhisar and extending to Göreme, is a valley with ancient caves consisting of a soft layer of lava and ashes. It takes its name from the dovecotes carved into soft rocks for the pigeons fed by the local people. - Avanos Pottery Workshop - Cappadocia is Famous with the handmade potteries because of the clay. This tour includes potteries show, and you may try to make your own pottery here. - Goreme Open-Air Museum - This Unesco World Heritage site is an essential stop on any Cappadocian itinerary. First thought to be a Byzantine monastic settlement that housed some 20 monks, then a pilgrimage site from the 17th century, this splendid cluster of monastic Byzantine artistry with its rock-cut churches, chapels and monasteries is 1km uphill from Göreme’s centre. - Devrent Valley - Devrent Valley in Cappadocia (also known as Imaginary Valley) is a beautiful valley full of unique rock formations, many of which are said to resemble animal shapes.

Amazing time - What a lovely time!
We received our pick-up time a day before our trip. Our guide, Menşure, met us at our hotel early. Very punctual.
We drove around in an airconditioned van, with very comfortable spacious seats, water was provided. The driver was very comfortable on the road, no hazardous driving.
Our guide, Menşure, was the highlight of the trip. Very personable, very knowledgeable and had detailed knowledge of all the sights we saw on the day. She never rushed us, would take the time to answer any of our questions and made good calls on which shops to avoid and which ones were preferable if we wanted to buy snacks or curios. She always offered to take photos and was a joy to be around.
The actual sites were marvelous. The Göreme open air museum was amazing to see all of the frescos, love valley and pigeon valley were spectacular to see in person. All the TikTok videos didn't do it justice at all! The highlight of the trip was definitely Kayamalkı underground city.
This trip was well worth what we spent. Considering the price of museums, transport and the lunch included, this was a steal.
100% recommend Sonrisa tours. (We also did an ATV tour with them that was an absolute blast)
