The city is crammed with old buildings from the Ottoman era. You will be satisfied with a delicious breakfast, enjoy your stay in such a historical place and breathe in the clean air of the Taurus Mountains.

Aksaray

The city was once an important point in Cappadocia through which the Great Silk Road passed. The city has an interesting attraction – a white marble palace built by the Seljuk sultan, in honor of whom the city got its name (ak-weiß, scale palace). Not far from Aksaray , an underground city, Saratly, was discovered 30 years ago, attracting crowds of tourists. It is one of the 36 underground cities in Cappadocia.

The city is multi-level and consists of hundreds of underground spaces for people and livestock. There is even a ventilation system and an overlapping system that serves as a kind of door. The doors are made of very hard rock, their weight reaches 500 kg, so it is not entirely clear how they got into the narrow passages of the cave.

Until now, the purpose of building these multi-level underground cities remains a mystery. Who were these people? What tools did they use to cut caves in volcanic tuff? How long did it take them? How did they escape the cold in dark caves? – at least no trace of clothing remains was found. All of these questions are still being asked by curious scientists studying Saratly.

Undoubtedly, after completing the excursion here, you will ask a lot of similar questions.

Avanos

A small town on the banks of the red river Kızılırmak , the longest in Turkey. A suspension bridge spans the river, and the Alaaddin Mosque adorns the bank. The city is famous for its pottery workshops, famous for its centuries-old traditions and experiences. Clay products have been made here for a very long time, because on the banks of the Red River there is an abundance of high-quality raw materials. Clay products are now the hallmark of the city of Avanos and are well known even outside of Turkey.

The city has a neat appearance and attracts tourists. If you go here, you will admire the numerous workshops filled with amazing products. You will be amazed by the skillful work of the potters who, with skillful movements, create a masterpiece before your eyes. You will have the opportunity to sculpt something out of clay yourself, maybe you will find yourself in the creative field in that.

Be prepared that no one left here without a souvenir because here you will find thousands of unique clay objects made by Turkey’s best craftsmen.

You will be lucky enough to dine in a cave restaurant that blends so well with the surrounding landscape. Delicious main courses and appetizers await you.

Valley of Love

After lunch, take a walk through the most picturesque valley with a beautiful name. The valley is rich in stone idols with bizarre shapes that resemble mushrooms and are up to 40 meters high. For millions of years, nature has created such exquisite “phallic” shapes through exposure to wind, sun and rain. They are made of soft volcanic tuff with basalt tips or caps.

Locals call these forms erotic and some believe that a child conceived here will grow up strong and prosperous.

Goreme Open Air Museum

Perhaps the most memorable place for you on this trip will be the Goreme Open Air Museum. After all, this place is a World Heritage Site and is under UNESCO protection, a place of pilgrimage for Orthodox Christians and simply a popular spot for tourists from all over the world. There are two dozen churches carved directly into the tuff, a multi-storey nunnery, living quarters and much more.

You will visit: Church of the Buckle, Church of the Sandals, Chapel of St. Onufry, Chapel of St. Basil, Chapel of St. Barbara, Apple Church. For a fee you can visit the Chapel of St. Catherine and the Dark Church.

Many churches have perfectly preserved frescoes that tell about biblical events or events from the life of those years. Some of the images were created at the time when iconography was being explored, so there are no familiar faces, but rather veiled symbols. The churches here mostly date from the 8th to 11th centuries and the Byzantine period.

Despite centuries of soot from shepherd fires and pigeon droppings, painstaking restoration work has done its job, and now tourists from all over the world have a chance to see these original churches.

Valley of Fantasy (Devrent)

After brain activity, learning new and interesting things, you can relax and unwind in Imagination Valley. The valley does not bear its name for nothing, because the imagination gives the bizarre tuff forms all possible outlines. You will see here: a stone camel, a chicken, a reptile, an alien, a cat, a turtle, the Virgin Mary with Jesus in her arms and much more, in general, who is in what much. The imagination knows no limits!

Uchisar

The second, no less exciting, day of your tour begins right after breakfast. Plans include a visit to the ancient settlement of Uchisar . There are practically no traces of modern civilization in the city, and you can enjoy the silence of this place, which only emphasizes all its mystery. Abandoned houses and dovecotes carved into soft tuff create a special atmosphere. The city got its name because of the presence of three rock fortresses: Main, Middle and Extreme Fortress.

The largest and most interesting of them is the extreme (Uchisar). It is carved into a rock that towers 65 meters above the city. The fortress is one of the most recognizable symbols of Cappadocia as it can be seen from almost anywhere here. It is known that people have lived here since the Bronze Age, and the fortress was used for defense by representatives of many cultures for thousands of years.

Pasabag

Pasabağ or the Valley of the Monks or the Valley of the Vineyards is one of the most beautiful valleys in Cappadocia, a must-see.

You will appreciate the walk through the magnificent landscapes and vineyards from which the local wine is made.

Pigeon Valley

A no less beautiful valley of Cappadocia is the Valley of the Pigeons. Since ancient times, people have been growing vines near Cappadocia, but the soil was not fertile enough. Wise ancestors began raising pigeons and fertilizing the soil with dung, so they carved thousands of houses into the rocks, and to attract birds they painted the rocks bright colors. Pigeons still live here and meet tourists from their luxurious castles. You will be completely amazed by this valley and its inhabitants.

Panorama of Goreme

The next stop is Goreme Panorama Hill which offers the best view of the fabulous valleys. You will admire the cosmic landscapes and see the remains of their creator – the vents of the ancient volcano Aegies that erupted 6000 years ago.
