Derinkuyu Underground City - After a 40-minute drive, the tour arrives at the Underground City. Initially used by locals as a natural deep freeze, it later served as a refuge for the late Romans against potential Arabian invasions. With the guide’s detailed explanations, visitors will spend nearly an hour exploring.
-
Ihlara Valley - Located 52 km from the Underground City, the entrance to Ihlara Valley is reached after approximately 45 minutes. The valley was formed by volcanic activity from Mt. Hasan, and the Melendiz River eroded it over millions of years, creating an 80-meter-deep canyon. The entire valley stretches 14 km. Historically, Christians inhabited various parts of the valley, carving and painting churches. Visitors will hike about 3.5 km, which will take around 1 hour and 15 minutes, before arriving at a restaurant for lunch.
-
Ihlara - There is a 1-hour lunch break in Ihlara town. The meal begins with soup and salad, followed by a choice of main dishes from a menu, and concludes with seasonal fruits.
-
Selime Monastery - The tour continues to the cinematic Selime Monastery. Although it initially resembles a castle, the presence of shelters, churches, chapels, bedrooms, storages, and a large cathedral confirms its monastic nature. Visitors will learn about monastic life in Cappadocia.
-
Pigeon Valley - Climbing to Selime Monastery may be tiring, but there is about an hour to rest before reaching Pigeon Valley. During the journey, the guide will share traditions, cultures, and stories about Anatolia. Upon arrival, pigeons will greet visitors at the top of the valley. Pigeons have been significant to the people of Cappadocia, with their eggs and droppings used for various purposes. Locals carved houses for them into the valley slopes, and visitors will understand why they are called “houses” upon seeing them.
