Afterward, visit the Selime Monastery, a remarkable structure carved into the rocks, featuring citadels and churches where fairy chimneys rise dramatically from the hillside.

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.
