Detailed itinerary

Stop 1

The Zelve Open-Air Museum resembles a gigantic monastery complex made up of dozens of refectory monasteries situated next to one another, each with its beautiful cathedral that is undoubtedly the first destination to any visitor in Cappadocia. It has the best rock-cut cathedrals with stunning frescoes (wall paintings) that still have all of their vibrant original freshness. Goreme Open Air Museum has been on UNESCO's World Heritage List since 1984. We will cover the entrance fee.

Stop 2

Pasabag, also known as Monks Valley, is one of Cappadocia's most attractive fairy chimneys. You will have enough time to take magnificent pictures of this remarkable landscape with your beloved ones.

Stop 3

Uchisar is the highest point in Cappadocia. The many rooms carved into the rock are connected by stairs, tunnels, and corridors. Chamber entrances use millstone doors, similar to underground settlements, to control access to these locations.

Stop 4

Devrent Valley, also known as Imagination Valley, awaits you with a stunning fairy chimney landscape. Interesting and famous human and animal rock formations will surely captivate your ride.

Avanos hosts many family-owned pottery hunks. These famous potters make great souvenirs, and you will have a chance to join pottery workshops here.

Love Valley, also known as the Valley of Lovers, is among the meeting points in Cappadocia for those who want to witness a magnificent visuality as well as those who want to experience romance to the fullest. This valley, which is one of the must-see places in Cappadocia, has a length of 4900 meters. The vineyards and fruit trees in the valley, which fascinates every visitor with its impressive fairy chimneys, are expressed as the closest companions of the visitors.
