The Dark Church has a separate entrance ticket and is not included unless it is specifically added and confirmed before the tour.

Some corridors are narrow, low and enclosed. Guests with claustrophobia, mobility limitations or serious heart and respiratory concerns should consider whether the underground visit is suitable for them.
Evening
Flight to Istanbul & Private Hotel Transfer
After the underground city, transfer privately to Kayseri or Nevşehir Airport for your confirmed flight back to Istanbul. Upon arrival, your Istanbul driver will meet you and transfer you privately to your hotel.
