Detailed Description
Your adventure begins with a pick-up from your hotel at approximately 09:00 AM. You will be driven to the stunning Ihlara Valley, which was formed from the ashes of the volcanic Mt. Hasan. A trek along the Melendiz River through the valley will reveal breathtaking landscapes and ancient rock-cut churches. Afterward, visit the Selime Monastery, a remarkable structure carved into the rocks, featuring citadels and churches where fairy chimneys rise dramatically from the hillside.
Stop at Yaprakhisar Village for a photo opportunity with scenic views of the unique rock formations. In the afternoon, the highlight of the tour is a visit to Derinkuyu Underground City, the largest excavated underground city in Turkey, featuring dwellings, stables, storage rooms, churches, and even wineries. This underground refuge was historically used by Christian communities seeking shelter.
The tour concludes with a drop-off back at your hotel. End of services.
