Itinerary

1. Day 1: Cappadocia North Tour (Lunch, dinner included)

   Cappadocia Red Tour starts in the morning from your hotel. The driver and your guide will drive you towards the first stop of this fantastic tour, Uchisar Castle. Before reaching the area, the professional and experienced guide will provide interesting information regarding the history and importance of this rock castle. Your first impression will be excellent as this area is the highest rock formation in Cappadocia. 

   The excursion continues towards the second stop, the infamous Goreme Open Air Museum. This impressive open-air museum is worth visiting since it has been part of UNESCO’s World Heritage List since 1985. More precisely, the open-air museum consists of churches built into rocks and carved chapels that date back to the early-Christian period. In Goreme Open Air Museum, you will be impressed not only by the setting and the architectural style. Interior design will also impress you. Exceptionally well-preserved frescoes can be seen in churches that trace their origins back to the 5th century. Your guide will explain everything you need to know about the area and answer your questions. Your next stop is scheduled at Love Valley to take panoramic valley pictures. We will continue with a visit to the Pasabagi Valley. The valley is ideal for observing and admiring fairy chimneys and snapping lovely photos. It is also known as Monks Valley due to a small church dedicated to Saint Simeon and situated in one of the three chimneys. 

   Your tour continues towards Avanos. The area has been forming the main point of terracotta arts since 2000 B.C. in Hittite times. This small city was constructed next to Turkey’s longest river, the Red River.

   The people of Avanos took advantage of the area’s resources and became magnificent potters with unique creative skills. This tradition and art are still alive there, and during your excursion, you will visit a traditional workshop.

   Then continue towards Devrent or Imagination Valley. This particular area is known for the rocks that have unusual formations. More precisely, the rocks in Devrent Valley often resemble the shapes of animals such as dolphins, snakes and seals. The most outstanding and famous rock is the one that resembles a camel. The excursion ends by the time you reach your hotel. 

   Evening proceeds to Turkish Night Show with dinner.

   Enjoy an evening dinner and cultural show held in an underground cave restaurant where a professional dance troupe demonstrates dances from various regions of Turkey accompanied by a live band playing traditional musical instruments. Be dazzled by the colourful costumes and mesmerizing movements of belly and traditional folk dancers, and participate in a traditional Turkish wedding ceremony if you dare!

   The 3-course dinner includes mezes, salads, rice, a main course of your choice (fish, chicken, lamb or vegetarian), desserts and fruit – and unlimited drinks (soft drinks, beer, local Turkish wine, and Raki, the Turkish aniseed-flavoured spirit along with a range of other spirits).
