About this experience
What makes our Cappadocia Red Tour special is that it includes stops at some of the most famous attractions that are found on the north side of the region. More precisely, you will visit the Goreme Open Air Museum, which is the most visited spot in Cappadocia. The area has multiple monasteries and churches carved into rocks. Some of them have well-preserved frescoes inside.
During the day you will also visit the Monks Valley, which is known for having a chapel that is carved into a fairy chimney. Take your time to observe the beauty of the landscape and snap some photos, as the guide explains the basic features of the valley. Devrent Valley is another area to visit. This valley, also known as the Imagination Valley, has some interesting rock formations that look like objects or animals. Except from that, you will also visit Urgup, where you can observe a unique rock formation that is the symbol of Cappadocia.
