Your Experience

After your hotel pick-up, begin your full-day tour along with an expert local guide. Explore Goreme Museum, home to many rock-cut churches from the second half of the 9th-century with beautiful colorful frescoes decorating the walls. Next, make your way to Devrent Valley; famous for its quirky, animal-shaped rocks - it almost looks like a sculpture zoo made by nature! There is even a rock pillar here that looks like the Virgin Mary, holding Jesus Christ.

Admire the unique lunar landscape of the valley and feel like you're in another world.

Continue onwards to Pasabagi, which translates to the Pacha's vineyard. This site is also called Monks Valley since the hermitage of Simeon monks was here. A chapel dedicated to St. Simeon (Simon) and a hermit's shelter is built into one of the fairy chimneys with three heads. Pasabag Valley has some of the most striking fairy chimneys in Cappadocia with twin and even triple rock caps. This style is unique even for Cappadocia and these are named mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys. From here, journey onwards to Avanos, where you will enjoy a typical Turkish lunch and try your hand at pottery-making with the locals. At Goreme Panorama, see the best panoramic views of the fairy chimneys, before heading to Uchisar. The natural rock castle here provides striking views of the surrounding area. At the end of the tour, you will be driven back to your hotel.
