Full Day Cappadocia Green Tour

At the Cappadocia Green Tour, the first stop is a Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu Underground City. You will get information about the history and formation of Cappadocia. While following the briefing by your guide you will have some free time to take some photographs. 

After driving for about 40 minutes, we will arrive at Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu Underground City. These underground cities were first used by the locals as a natural deep freezer, and later by the Romans as a shelter against potential Arabian invasions. Derinkuyu is the most profound underground city in the Cappadocia region. With some background information from your guide, you will spend almost 1 hour here. 

After around 45 minutes, you will be at the entrance of Ihlara Valley. Ihlara Valley was formed by volcanic actions of Mt. Hasan, next to Ihlara Valley. Afterwards, visit the Melendiz River that eroded the valley for millions of years beside the layers that cracked and fell. Eventually, 80 meter- deep canyon was composed. In the past, Christians lived in several parts of the Valley; also they carved churches and painted them. 

Then you will arrive at the Restaurant for lunch that will be in the valley. After lunch, visit Yaprakhisar to see the beautiful fairy chimneys.

Next up is Pigeon Valley, Pigeons have always been famous for Cappadocian people.  For this reason, the local people carved houses for them to the slopes of the valley.
