Boasting a unique volcanic rock landscape and an array of exciting activities, Cappadocia offers the perfect setting for a magical adventure, complete with unforgettable photo opportunities during this comprehensive full-day tour.
The Cappadocia Red Tour commences in the morning with a pick-up from your hotel in a modern, fully air-conditioned bus. Your first destination is the magnificent Uchisar Castle, Cappadocia's highest rock formation. Here, your expert guide will share fascinating insights into the castle's history and significance, while you take in panoramic views and capture breathtaking photos of the surrounding landscape.
Next, you'll venture to the famed Goreme Open Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site since 1985. This remarkable museum features rock-hewn churches and chapels from the early Christian period, as well as an ancient monastery that once served as a refuge during Roman invasions. Inside the churches, you'll be captivated by the beautifully preserved frescoes that date back to the 5th century. After spending an hour exploring the museum at your leisure, you'll head to Love Valley to capture panoramic images of this stunning location.
Continuing on the Cappadocia Red Tour, you'll visit Pasabagi Valley, also known as Monks Valley, a prime location to observe and admire the iconic fairy chimneys. The valley earned its name from a small church dedicated to Saint Simeon, situated within one of the three chimneys. Here, you'll learn about the hermits who once lived in the area and created isolation rooms inside the fairy chimneys, inspired by Saint Simeon's life.
Following your exploration of Pasabagi Valley, you'll enjoy a lunch break at a traditional Turkish restaurant, where you can savor a delicious buffet featuring a range of fresh and tasty dishes. Recharged and relaxed, you'll continue to Avanos, a small city renowned for its terracotta arts that date back to the Hittite period in 2000 B.C. Located next to Turkey's longest river, the Red River, Avanos is home to skilled potters who have utilized the region's resources to create exceptional pottery.
During your visit to Avanos, you'll stop by a traditional workshop, where you'll witness a potter demonstrating the step-by-step process of producing terracotta pottery. Here, you can also peruse the impressive collection of products and purchase unique souvenirs to remember your trip.
The tour then takes you to Devrent, or Imagination Valley, an area famed for its unusually shaped rocks that often resemble animals such as dolphins, snakes, and seals. Among the most notable rock formations is the one that resembles a camel. As you explore the valley, you'll be encouraged to let your imagination run wild.
Finally, the Cappadocia Red Tour concludes with a visit to Urgup, where you'll be introduced to a distinctive rock formation that has become a symbol of Cappadocia. As the tour comes to an end and you return to your hotel, you'll be left with vivid memories and beautiful images of the unforgettable places you've visited on this extraordinary adventure.
