Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

we visit Göreme Open air Museum, Cappadocia's main attraction and the customary starting point for an overview of what the region has to offer, the museum is a monastic complex composed of churches, refectories, and dwellings, and one of the earliest centers for religious education.

Then, we drive to Paşabağı, a valley which contains some of the most interesting fairy chimneys in Cappadocia with twin and triple rock caps. These fairy chimneys are named mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys

Stop 3

Avanos, a town and district that is noted for its Turkish craft skills. Rug-weaving and pottery-making are important local skills. To say that Avanos is the oldest town in the area is no exaggeration as the Avanos pottery art dates right back to the time of the Hittites in the Bronze Age. We have the lunch at a restaurant in this town

Stop 4

Devrent Valley. This is a place to let your mind run free in a seemingly lunar landscape with rock formations that look like animals.

Before the end of the tour, depending on your request, we go to a local winery for tasting local white wine. Archaeological evidence suggests wine-making here goes back more than 7,000 years.

And our last stop is Urgup panorama, where you can witness 3 beautiful pinnacles standing side by side. Finally, our guide and driver will drop you off at your hotel with a lot of unforgetable stories and memories.
