Still in Avanos, visit an authentic family-run pottery workshop located in an underground cave. Clay from the Kızılırmak (Red) River was first used in pottery production by the Hitites prior to 1700BC and continues as an art form today. Watch a master demonstrate how to make a pot, and watch the the painters and glazers apply their delicate patterns. Have a go at the potter’s wheel yourself and make your own unique pot if you wish. - Pasabag - In Paşabağı (also known as Monks Valley because of the Chapel of Saint Simeon found there) wander through the unusual clusters of multi-headed mushroom-shaped “fairy chimneys” (rock formations).
- Devrent Valley - Devrent Valley (“Imagination Valley”) - a stunning valley where you can spot natural rock formations in many recognisable shapes, including the famous camel-shaped rock. Use your imagination and see what other shapes you can find.

Red tour Cappadocia - We did the red tour with Gorgeous travel and they have excellent customer service! We wanted to change our date of tour and even though it was past the cancellation period and just few hours to the tour they still changed it for us without any issues. The tour was well organised and we were well fed and hydrated throughout the trip (thanks Mehmet our driver ☺️)
Our tour guide Ali - Excellent guide, cant praise him enough! So much knowledge and passion for what he does, it shines through! He managed to tailor the tour to everyone in the group even though we were different ages, he kept our kids engaged throughout the tour and gave us so much history and information about different events. He explained how the different rockformations were formed by using analogies and pictures which made it so easy to understand even for the kids. We thoroughly enjoyed the tour!
Ali is the man!!

Exceptional tour and guide. - Bayram was an exceptional guide. He immersed us in the history and traditions of a fascinating region like Cappadocia. The tour was well organized, with a good balance between explanations and free time for photos/exploration. A special mention for the lunch break (included in the price) at a great little restaurant in Avanos. Unlimited fresh water provided for the participants.

Wonderful guide, great stops, the perfect Cappadocia Red Tour experience - We just came back from our Red Tour of Cappadocia and couldn’t be more satisfied. Bayram was an absolute pleasure as our tour guide. His explanations were clear, and he is incredibly knowledgeable. I learned so many fascinating things about each stop, and he made the whole day feel much more interesting and meaningful.
The tour was exactly as promised, with all entrance fees covered, so we were able to skip the line and walk right in. Lunch was also delicious, with many options to choose from, including vegetarian choices, which is very inclusive.
I definitely recommend this tour, and especially recommend asking for Bayram. We did both the Green and Red Tours with him, and we were very glad we did!

Memories of Cappadocia - Thank you for your prompt response despite the morning booking. Ali's guide was very good. Now you know the history of Cappadocia! It was very helpful to be able to keep up with the pace of my 5-year-old.
