Detailed Itinerary:
You will be picked up from your hotel at 09:30 AM to begin this unforgettable journey through North Cappadocia. The first stop is Devrent Valley, famous for its unusual rock formations that create an otherworldly landscape. As you explore the valley, you will encounter rock formations resembling animals, creating a natural sculpture zoo.
Next, visit Paşabag (Monks Valley), home to some of the most iconic fairy chimneys in Cappadocia, including the unique "mushroom-shaped" formations. Afterward, head to Avanos, a town renowned for its pottery-making tradition, which dates back to the Hittite era. Here, you can witness local artisans crafting pottery from the red clay sourced from the Kızılırmak River, Turkey’s longest river.
Following a lunch break, continue to the historic Zelve Open Air Museum, where you will explore ancient churches, chapels, and monasteries carved into fairy chimneys from the 10th to 13th centuries. The day concludes with panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and a visit to the impressive Uçhisar Castle, offering breathtaking views of Cappadocia’s unique landscape. You will then be transferred back to your hotel. End of services.
