Formerly known as the "Monks' Valley", Pasabagi is situated about 1km from the Goreme - Avanos road. Many fairy

Next place is Pottery atelier. The city of Avanos was on an ancient trading route between the Hittite capital of Hattusaş (1300
BC). Avanos was inhabited by Assyrian trade colonies during the second millennium BC and was later taken over by the Hittites
at about 1950 BC. Flowing through Avanos is the longest river in Turkey, which in ancient times was called Halys. The Hittites
called it Marassantiya. The modern word for this river is Kizilirmak, meaning Red River. Red clay, containing iron ore that
colours the water, is found along the banks of the river. The clay has been used since the early ages for making pottery.


Devrent Valley
This valley is situated between Avanos, Zelve and Urgup, and is called "pink valley" because of the colour of its soil. This valley
has never been inhabited and we see neither houses nor churches here. But fairy chimney shapes are very interesting, for it
Devrent Valley is also known as “Imagination Valley”. You will feel free to climb the slopes to enjoy the fairy chimneys.


Urgup Fairy Chimneys
The "fairy chimneys" with caps, mainly found in the vicinity of Ürgüp, have a conical-shaped body and a boulder on top of it.
The cone is constructed from tufa and volcanic ash, while the cap is of a harder, more resistant rock such as lahar or
ignimbrite. The fairy chimneys which are symbols of Ürgüp are called holly spirit chimneys. There is mother, father and son
fairy chimneys stay together.

untiringly written their joys and sorrows in amazing codes and magic letters which are to be read line by line. And also, you

Derinkuyu Underground City
After driving about 30 minutes, arrival to Kaymakli Underground city, Kaymakli underground city is built under the hill known
as the Citadel of Kaymakli and was opened to visitors in 1964. The people of Kaymakli (Enegup in Greek) village have
constructed their houses around nearly one hundred tunnels of the underground city. The inhabitants of the region still use
the most convenient places in the tunnels as cellars, storage areas and stables, which they access through their courtyards.
The Kaymakli Underground City has low, narrow and sloping passages. While the underground city consists of 8 floors below
ground, only 4 of them are open to the public today, in which the spaces are organized around ventilation shafts.


Ihlara Valley - Hiking
Ihlara Canyon is 60 km. away from Kaymakli Underground City. Approximately 45 minutes later, you will be at the entrance
of Ihlara Valley.
Ihlara Valley was formed by the volcanic actions of Mt. Hasan, next to Ihlara Valley. Afterwards, Melendiz River eroded the
valley for millions of years besides the layers cracked and fell down. Eventually, 80 meter- deep canyon was composed. Whole
Valley is 14 km. length. In the past, generally Christians lived in the several parts of the Valley; also they carved churches and
painted them. You will hike about 3,5 km. in the valley by visiting St. Daniel Church. Hiking will last 1h 15m. Then you will arrive at the restaurant for lunch.


Lunch
1 hour for the lunch in the valley, next to the River in a local restaurant with traditional Turkish foods. Lunch will be over with
season fruits.


Yaprakhisar Panorama (Star Wars Movie Set)
After lunch our guide will take you to a unique place, Yaprakhisar. You will see the best examples of conical fairy chimneys.
Since the area is very similar to Star Wars Film Set, Yaprakhisar is known as “Star Wars Movie Set”.


Pigeon Valley
Upon arrival to Pigeon Valley, pigeons will meet you on the top of the valley. Pigeons have always been important for
Cappadocian people. Their eggs and droppings were used for different purposes. For this reason, local people carved houses
for them to the slopes of valley. You will see the reason why people call them “houses”, when you see them.


Onyx Stone Factory
The Last place in the tour will be a visit to onyx factory in Uchisar. Onyx is a volcanic stone which has various colors and
contains different minerals in. As being a volcanic area, Cappadocia has some onyx deposits. In the factory, a master will give
you information about the steps of onyx shaping and you will watch a shaping show.


Our tour will finish with transfer back to hotel around 18.30 p.m.

Your Destinations

Istanbul

With an incredibly rich history and a reputation as the last remaining outpost of the Roman Empire, Istanbul has a fascinating heritage that draws in travellers all year round.

 

Situated on the narrow strait between the Black Sea and the Marmara Sea, Istanbul has long been a bridge between Asia and Europe, both geographically and culturally. As the final stage on the legendary Silk Road, the cultural diversity of Istanbul is tangible to this day.

 

For a city with a fascinating history of 2500 years waiting to be explored, Istanbul also boasts cosmopolitan restaurants, bars and shops, cool boutique hotels and live music venues for those looking to be immersed in the fast paced, modern lifestyle of Istanbul. 

Cappadocia

Cappadocia is a stunning area of rock formations, subterranean churches and underground dwellings. Cappadocia was a refuge for early Christians, who escaped persecution by living and worshipping underground. There are an estimated 3000 rock churches in the region, not all of which are open to the public, the existence of which was discovered by chance in 1907 by a French Jesuit scholar. Some of the most impressive of the churches are located in the Goreme Open Air Museum, which date from the 9th and 11th centuries and have stunning wall paintings. 

 

The village of Goreme itself is at the heart of the area's tourist industry, and many of its villagers still live in cave dwellings, some of which have been converted into boutique hotels. Surrounding the area are the amazing rock formations known evocatively as Peri Bacalari or 'Fairy Chimneys'.

 

There are hundreds of underground cities in the region. Two of the most impressive are Kaymakli, which has 8 levels, and Derinkuyu, which reaches down to 55 metres. To escape the crowds, visit the picturesque Soganli Valley, with its many houses, tombs and churches, displaying excellent examples of Byzantine paintings.
