Your experience

Journey into the heart of Cappadocia’s wonders

Experience a full day of breathtaking landscapes, ancient history and immersive culture on this expertly guided Green Tour in Cappadocia. Your day begins as you’re collected from your accommodation and introduced to your certified guide who will be your companion on this adventure.

Explore Derinkuyu Underground City

Your journey starts underground at Derinkuyu, one of the largest and most remarkable subterranean cities in the region. As you navigate its labyrinthine corridors and rooms, you’ll learn how ancient civilizations created a refuge by carving into the earth, constructing living spaces, storage areas and even chapels far below the surface. The stories behind this engineering marvel reveal a history shaped by ingenuity and perseverance.

Trekking through Ihlara Valley

Continue your tour with a scenic 4km trek in Ihlara Valley. Towering canyon walls and rich greenery contrast with the peaceful river that meanders alongside your path. Along the route, you’ll encounter centuries-old cave churches decorated with well-preserved Byzantine frescoes, offering a glimpse into early Christian life and art. This walk, suitable for most visitors, is a chance to immerse yourself in natural splendour while reflecting on Cappadocia’s layered history.

Lunch in Belisirma and exploring Selime Monastery

Next, you’ll pause in the riverside village of Belisirma for a hearty traditional lunch. Enjoy the flavours of the region as you dine overlooking the canyon before heading onward to Selime. Here, you’ll tour Cappadocia’s largest rock-cut monastery, a complex of churches and dwellings carved directly into the cliffs. The scale and design of these ancient structures are a testament to the region's storied past and ingenuity.

Breathtaking views at Uchisar and Pigeon Valley

Visit Uchisar village, perched on a high outcrop for unbeatable views across Pigeon Valley and the extraordinary rocky landscape. Hundreds of pigeon houses dot the cliffs, once used for collecting fertilizer and now a hallmark of Cappadocia’s unique environment. Watching over the valleys, you’ll have ample time for gazing, photos and discovering the rich connections between nature and tradition.

Visit the Onyx Workshop

Conclude your experience with a stop at a local onyx workshop where artisans shape valuable local stones into stunning souvenirs. This is an excellent opportunity to learn about regional crafts and perhaps pick up a keepsake to remember your adventure.
