Cappadocia Green Tour Program

Cappadocia Green Tour starts with you being picked up from your hotel between 09.00 – 09.45 .

• The first stop on the Cappadocia Green Tour is Göreme Panorama , the point of seeing and understanding Cappadocia ! This time, you will watch the long valleys in front of you from one of the empty benches and press the shutter of your camera for the magnificent view of Göreme Valley . This is the point where you will see Göreme most clearly, and everyone who comes to Cappadocia must have a photo taken right here. After professional guides give information about the formation of the region, it is time to move again for a new excitement!

• Second stop: Derinkuyu Underground City . If you are worried that you will have problems staying in a narrow place, let us remind you that this underground city is approximately 55 meters deep and has 8 floors . As you delve deeper, you will wonder how such engineering intelligence worked centuries ago and even suspect aliens. This interesting underground city, which you can think of as underground plazas with its capillary ventilations, sliding millstones, water wells, schools, churches and stables, is one of the most adrenaline-filled parts of the Cappadocia Green Tour . You will travel in time to places where thousands of people could live at the same time centuries ago, and you will be more surprised with every section you enter and every floor you descend.

• Ihlara Valley is one of the most beautiful valleys in the world and is like an open-air museum. Not only us but also the world accepts this. You will descend into this deep valley with more steps than you can count, stop by Ağaçaltı Church, one of the churches from the 10th and 13th centuries, where you will see an artistic feast, and walk to Belisırma Village along the banks of the Melendiz River . Approximately 3.5 km . and during this one-hour walk, if you are in season, you will see trees with hanging fruits and you will rest your soul with the sound of the river. Don’t worry about how to get up the stairs again. Because Belisırma Village is the starting point of Ihlara Valley.

• A lunch break on the river bank after a long walk ! Belisırma Village is even more colorful if it is summer or spring. While having lunch in the huts on the river, you can let your feet go into the water.

• Selime Monastery, the oldest monastery in Cappadocia and one of the first Christian bases , is the first stop after dinner on the Cappadocia Green Tour. The monastery is also known as the cathedral. Selime Monastery, where you will see living spaces such as a missionary school and a church, is one of the most photogenic spots in Cappadocia . It stands like an eagle’s nest on steep rocks. There are even people who say that Star Wars was filmed here.

• The next Cappadocia Green Tour stop after Selime Monastery is Yaprakhisar Village . You will watch the fairy chimneys that still stand tall despite the centuries and take lots of photos.

• Güvercinlik Valley near Uçhisar is one of the most famous valleys of Cappadocia. Walking among the rock formations of the valley, which takes its name from the dovecotes where pigeons once roosted, is actually equivalent to feeling Cappadocia fully. Who knows, maybe pigeons will pass over you, or maybe you will be carried away by this beauty.

• Onyx workshops  where precious and semi-precious stones are processed in the Cappadocia region are one of the most enjoyable stops of the Green Tour. Your guide explains everything you want to know about the formation and processing of these stones, and then a farewell tour begins, ending with the sentence ‘need to go on another tour…’.
•  Cappadocia Green Tour ends with you being dropped off at your hotel between 18.00 – 18.30 .
