With the Range of Attractions a Cappadocia Balloon Ride Is Unmissable
Tourists visiting this region of Turkey will always book private tours & Cappadocia balloon rides to fly over and see the range of attractions and unique volcanic peaks, rock churches, fairy chimneys and valleys. There are many Cappadocia tour packages to choose from because the main sightseeing highlights are very spread out in this area so book and decide before you go.
The rock churches and valleys are a suburb, but the underground city of Kaymakli is terrific and seeing the ancient sites, and interlinked valleys between Goreme and Cavusin is a must for any visitor on Cappadocia tour packages. Read More...
Explore the Remarkable Colours and Landscapes of Goreme on a Balloon Ride
Cappadocia tours from Istanbul are very popular for tourists as they will usually do an overnight stay to include a Balloon Ride and the underground city of Kaymakli. The most unusual caves are found around the Goreme Valley with the fantastic rock Churches and chimney stacks. Views of the orange cliffs created from volcanic eruptions, wind and water erosion over many millennia are spectacular.
The orchards and vineyards are carved into the stone landscape and have many hermit hideouts concealed by the churches which date back to the Byzantine age. The rock of the plateau and the pinnacles of soft volcanic rock were efficiently worked with primitive tools so the residents could make safe, secure homes for themselves relatively quickly. You could call them "cavemen," though their civilisation was far too advanced for this term to really apply. Christians who fled Roman, and later Arabic, persecution came to this area and found refuge and safety in the rock caves of Cappadocia.
There are hundreds of caves in the valley to see on Cappadocia private tours, but we know of no tourists who get to see them all (YET), but the highlights are on most if not all the tours available. The most appealing and popular cave communities and ancient sites are in the Goreme Valley and Urgup area.
