Cappadocia + Özkonak Underground City
Cappadocia Tour
At the scheduled time, we'll pick you up from your hotel in Cappadocia and set off on a captivating tour of this mesmerizing region in the heart of Turkey, renowned for its distinctive geology.
Our tour of Cappadocia begins with a visit to the iconic Fairy Chimneys in the Ürgüp Valley. As we discuss the legends surrounding these unique rock formations, our journey takes us to the enchanting Valley of Love. The spectacular and unique views are sure to captivate you!
The next stop brings us to Ortahisar Castle. This fascinating rock formation, visible from every corner of the town, houses a fortress that offers stunning views of the surrounding valley.
After soaking in the views from this unique vantage point, we'll head to a restaurant in the town center for a taste of traditional Turkish cuisine. Take your pick from various options to savor the region's authentic flavors.
With satiated appetites, our next destination is the underground city of Özkonak. Discovered in 1972 by a curious farmer, Latif Acar, originally looking for a source of excess water for his crops, this remarkable site unfolded into a vast city during subsequent excavations. Housing up to 60,000 people for as long as three months, the scale of this discovery is truly jaw-dropping.
To wrap up the tour, we'll take you back to your hotel in Cappadocia, after 6-7 hours of adventure.
