Mysteries of Canyons and Underground Cities

Begin your adventure by descending into the depths of Derinkuyu, one of Cappadocia’s most extensive underground cities. Explore the intricate network of tunnels, chambers, and storerooms that once provided refuge for ancient civilizations.

Next, embark on a scenic hike through the Ihlara Valley, a verdant canyon carved by the Melendiz River. As you walk along the riverbanks, discover rock-cut churches adorned with frescoes and immerse yourself in the serene natural beauty of the area.

Visit the impressive Selime Monastery, a vast complex carved into the volcanic rock. Marvel at its cathedral-sized church, monks’ quarters, and stunning views over the surrounding landscape.

Conclude your tour with a stop at the Pigeon Valley Overlook. Enjoy panoramic vistas of the valley, named for the numerous pigeon houses carved into the cliffs, and capture memorable photos of Cappadocia’s unique terrain.
