Full-Day Blue Tour with Özkonak Underground City & Red Valley Trek with Lunch

What to bring

• Choose supportive, comfortable footwear, as the route includes uneven stone stairways, dusty valley paths, and underground tunnels.

• Pack a lightweight extra layer, as temperatures can vary throughout the day between exposed viewpoints and shaded valleys.

• Bring sun protection such as sunscreen or a hat, particularly for open valley stops where shade is minimal even outside the height of summer.

• Use a compact backpack instead of a large bag, as it’s much easier to navigate narrow underground corridors and village walkways.

• As this route is generally less touristy, carrying small amounts of cash is helpful for village stops where card payments may not be available.

What’s not allowed

• Large or bulky backpacks are discouraged, as confined underground spaces and narrow passages make them cumbersome to carry.

• Flash photography is prohibited inside cave churches and underground city interiors.

• Drones may not be used in valleys or archaeological areas without official authorization, including for personal use.

• Smoking is strictly forbidden inside vehicles, underground cities, and protected historical or heritage sites visited during the tour.

• Pets are not permitted on the tour due to restricted spaces and preservation rules at heritage locations.

Accessibility

• This experience is not suitable for wheelchair users because of uneven ground, staircases, and narrow passageways at multiple stops.

• Some sites feature underground corridors with low ceilings and limited ventilation, making them unsuitable for guests with claustrophobia or respiratory conditions.

Additional information

• Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included for local hotels in Cappadocia; please confirm your hotel details at the time of booking.

• Özkonak is less crowded than the more famous underground cities, but passages are narrower, so small backpacks are more comfortable than shoulder bags.

• The colors of Red Valley viewpoints change significantly with the light—mid-afternoon brings richer tones, while late morning highlights finer rock textures.

• The sequence of stops may be adjusted on the day to manage crowds or respond to weather-related conditions.

• Your voucher will be emailed to you shortly.
• Display the voucher on your mobile phone with a valid photo ID at the starting point.
• Please check your final voucher for the starting point details & specific instructions.
