Itinerary Details

Day 1 (Private Cappadocia Tour, lunch included)

Your journey begins with an early pick-up from your hotel around 05:00am, after which we will transfer you to either Istanbul or Sabiha Gokcen Airport for a flight to Cappadocia. Upon arrival, our driver will meet you at the airport and take you to our office.

After a short refreshment at our office, you will embark on a tour of the magical region of Cappadocia, starting with its most iconic landmark: the Goreme Open Air Museum. Listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985, the museum features some of the best-preserved rock-cut churches in the region. The tour continues with a visit to Pasabag (Monks Valley), famous for its unique mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys. The fairy chimneys of Pasabag are among the best-preserved in the area, offering a perfect example of how these formations evolved.

We will enjoy our lunch at a local restaurant in Avanos, where you can try the famous "Pottery Kebab". After lunch, we will experience a kick-wheel pottery demonstration, an art form that has been practiced for about 4000 years. Originating with the Hittites, this craft has become a significant part of the town's cultural heritage. Next, we will visit the Zelve Open Air Museum. Your guide will explain the importance of Christianity and monastic life in Cappadocia. While Zelve may not have the richly adorned frescoes of other Cappadocian sites, it showcases a complex network of rooms and passages. The valley is also famous for its numerous pointed "fairy chimneys," with their stems rising about 40 feet above the valley floor. Our tour will end with a visit to Devrent Valley, a stunning landscape where natural rock formations resemble various recognizable shapes, including the iconic camel-shaped rock. We will return to your hotel around 4:00 PM. Overnight accommodation will be in Goreme.

Day 2 (Private Cappadocia Tour, breakfast and lunch included)

Optional Hot Air Balloon Flight in the early morning can be a good start the day with sunrise.

Our guide and driver will meet you at your hotel at 10:00, and we will begin a hike through the Red & Rose Valleys, two of the most stunning valleys in Cappadocia. Along the way, you'll see numerous pigeon houses, incredible views of Uchisar Castle, and rock-cut churches that are over 1000 years old. The hike will last approximately 1.5 hours and conclude in Cavusin Village, an abandoned Greek village offering breathtaking views.

Cavusin Village was abandoned in the 1950s due to falling rocks. After taking in the panoramic view of the village, we will drive to Uchisar Castle Viewpoint to admire the beautiful scenery. Following this, we will head to a local restaurant for a delicious lunch.

After a 30-minute drive, we will visit the Kaymakli Underground City, one of Cappadocia's UNESCO World Heritage Sites. The most impressive feature of Kaymakli is its well-organized and structured layout, with living quarters, sleeping areas, stables, communal kitchens, a church, and even a graveyard, all fortified to protect its inhabitants.

After this visit, our tour will conclude around 4:30-5:00pm and we will drive you back to the hotel. Overnight accommodation in Goreme.

Day 3 (Private Cappadocia Tour & Flight to Istanbul, breakfast and lunch included)

Our tour begins at 10:00am with a pickup from your hotel. First, we'll drive to Ortahisar Panorama Point(Lavanta Panorama) to take in the stunning views of Ortahisar Castle. Our guide will provide you with information about the history and geography of the region.

Next, we will drive to Mustafapasa (Sinasos) Village, a village that was home to both Turkish and Greek residents until the compulsory population exchange of 1924. You will see many old Greek houses, an Ottoman Madrasah, and an ancient church.

Following the visit, we'll drive to the Keslik Monastery, a lesser-known but equally interesting site to explore. This monastery is home to three churches of different ages that are worth checking out. The Church of Archangels is particularly notable, as it features impressive paintings depicting the life of Jesus & Mother Mary. Afterwards, we'll head to the Sobessos Excavation Site, where you can see the Roman bath, tombs, temple, and gorgeous mosaics that have been uncovered.

Then it's off to Soganli Valley, one of the most peaceful and secluded valleys in Cappadocia. We will first have our lunch at this beautiful valley. After lunch, we'll take a hike along one side of the valley, visiting some cave churches, and return along the other side of the valley to the old village. After the hike through the valley, our tour will conclude around 4:00-4:30pm with a drive back to the airport for the flight back to Istanbul.
