The 1st day

The bus takes tourists from the hotel in Istanbul to the bus station, where you go to Cappadocia. The first day of the tour is called the «Red Tour». You will have a stop immediately at the Fortress of Uchhisar, which looks like a giant anthill. There is an open-air museum, with roads leading to a large citadel.

Then you will visit the famous rose valley and the rock church of John the Baptist, located in the village of Chavushin. The local people will treat you with delicious food and hospitality. After that, you will go to a prestigious Turkish restaurant for a full lunch.

The second part of the day will start with a visit to Avanos, which is considered the center of weaving and pottery in Turkey. You will see how the famous eastern carpets are spinned. In a souvenir shop you can buy a «freshly baked» pot for memory.

The next stop is the Fairy Valley in Pashabag. Stone formations from a distance resemble huge human figures. You will see the same sculptures in the valley of Devrent. But the most powerful impressions will be made by the world-wide famous «Three Beauties» located in Urgup. The legend says that stone pillars are frozen figures of three powerful ancient Greek goddesses: Aphrodite, Hera and Athena.

The 2nd day

The second day of the tour is called the «Green Tour», because you will spend most of the time in the fresh air. And it will start with a visit to the underground city of Kaimakli. There are about 200 such sites in Cappadocia. But it is Kaimakli that attracts plenty of tourists, because there are about 100 tunnels and many other interesting objects. Some of the exhibits date back to Hittite times.

Then according to the tour schedule it is planned:

–         to walk to Ihlari Canyon on foot at the distance of 4 kilometres;

–         to have a delicious lunch in a Turkish restaurant;

–         to attend the Ala Church, which is considered a monument of outstanding Byzantine architecture;

–         to visit the Pigeon Valley;

–         to attend the Stone Workshop.

Before you leave, go to the museum and the Fortress of Uchisar. Make sure you take advantage of your free time to wander around. If you’re lucky, climb the canyon to see the citadel and the paths to it from the height. The view is spectacular!
