Narlıgöl Krater Gölü - Lake Nar is renowned for its scientific significance, hosting a newly-identified species of microscopic diatom algae, Clipeoparvus anatolicus. The lake’s waters transform with the seasons; in winter, they are uniformly cold, while in spring, the water stratifies into a warm upper layer (epilimnion) and a cold, oxygen-poor lower layer (hypolimnion). Early summer brings a plankton bloom, altering the water chemistry and causing calcium carbonate precipitation. Consequently, the lakebed mud forms alternating black and white layers (varves), serving as a natural geological clock akin to tree rings. Lake Van is another well-known varve-forming lake in Turkey.

Experience the breathtaking highlights of Cappadocia on this tour. Visit the Kaymakli Underground City, originally known as Enegup. The Phrygians, an Indo-European people, initially carved caves into the soft volcanic rock. The city was significantly expanded and deepened during the Eastern Roman period to provide protection from Muslim Arab raids throughout the Arab–Byzantine wars. Explore Selime Cathedral, the largest rock-carved monastery in the area, which was once inhabited by the Hittite, Roman, Byzantine, Seljuk, and Ottoman civilizations. Delight in a Turkish kebab-style lunch at a riverside restaurant in Belisırma. Afterward, enjoy a leisurely 4km walk (approximately 1 hour) along the river through the scenic Ihlara Valley canyon, dotted with cave churches crafted by early Christian monks.
