About this experience

Cappadocia region is a poetic place thanks to the volcanic landscape. The views change constantly during the day according to the sunlight. The majority of the activities in Cappadocia are operated during daylight. Besides the group activity Turkish Night show, there is almost nothing to do in Cappadocia in the evenings after sunset. People are able to join full moon walks which are operated only a few days a month. With this ghost tour in Cappadocia, we are planning to create an alternative activity for the nights of the travelers staying in Cappadocia. During the walk in the Red and the Rose Valley, you will be able to enjoy the phenomenal night views of Cappadocia towns such as Goreme and Uchisar and visit hidden churches inside the valleys and see them from a totally different perspective. Forgotten ghost stories of Cappadocia will only be the icing on the cake...
