On this full-day tour of Cappadocia you'll visit Derinkuyu Underground City, the largest excavated site of its kind in Turkey. At a depth of 85 meters the multi-level city could accommodate up to 20,000 people.

Continue your journey to the stunning Ihlara Valley, where you’ll enjoy a scenic hike through a lush canyon carved by the Melendiz River. Along the way, discover ancient cave churches dating back to the 7th–11th centuries, many of which are adorned with remarkably well-preserved and vividly colored frescoes depicting biblical scenes.

Stop at Belisirma, a typical Anatolian village, to enjoy lunch and visit some of the churches open to tourists. Make a stop at Selime Monastery, one of Cappadocia’s most impressive rock-cut religious complexes. Carved into a dramatic cliffside, this ancient monastery once served as an important spiritual and defensive center, offering insight into early Christian life with its churches, living quarters, and sweeping views over the surrounding valley.

In Goreme, enjoy the beauty of Cappadocia’s lunar landscapes and the many-colored rock formations.
