Description - What to expect
Start your Cappadocia underground cities experience with a pick-up from your centrally located hotel and head off to visit Rose and Red Valley, an incredibly unique area of Cappadocia with sharp ridges, tinted in pink. This pink becomes more and more evident throughout the day, peaking at sunset when the sun glows directly onto the Rose Valley giving it that fine shade of pink so many people come to see.Next, visit Cavusin, also called Red Valley. The houses of the village were cut into massive rock formations. The village is famous for its impressive rock churches. Continue your Cappadocia tour to the Pigeon Valley, which earned its name from the countless man-made dovecotes that have been carved into the soft volcanic tuff. Pigeon Valley is one of the best spots for walking in the marvelous Cappadocia region.
Then visit the famous Cappadocia underground cities, once a place of refuge for 15.000 Christians. These settlements were of enormous value to the development of Christianity as they provided shelter and worship and were in use until the end of 7C AD. Witness the ancient bedrooms, church, meeting hall, and food storage rooms in this eight-story city connected by 30km of corridors and passageways.
End your Cappadocia tour with a visit to Ortahisar. The place is famous for its friendly inhabitants, the picturesque stone houses, the narrow streets, the lovely churches as well as the castle-like rock formation after which the town is named.
