Göreme Open Museum is known as one of the first monasteries of Christian institutions. This rock settlement, where education was given to spread Christianity, has been on the UNESCO World History list since 1985 with its frescoed churches and rock living spaces.
It is one of the oldest settlements in Cappadocia. The art of pottery, which is known to have started in the Hittite period, still continues and there are many workshops. This visit includes lunch and a short tour of Kızılırmak.
Cappadocia is famous for its unique landforms. Paşabağ, where these landforms are at their best and where human beings and natural environments live, is a distinct place to visit.

Göreme is a village located in the center of Cappadocia. Recently, it has become a center of attraction with its hotels carved into the rocks. Göreme panorama offers views of the charming Göreme village.
The full circle of Cappadocia is a region that attracts attention with its red color. The interior of this valley is suitable for walking, and there is a walking park that lasts approximately 4 km. During this walk, they will see fairy chimneys, local farms, pigeon houses and cave chapels while being in touch with nature. During the valley walk, it is possible to see the different color layers of the volcanic eruption that took place in Cappadocia years ago. We end the walk in Çavuşin Old Greek Village.
Love Valley is one of the most well-known and photographed regions of Cappadocia. It attracts attention with the developments in the world and understands a natural photography studio.
A short visit to Göreme village for a lunch break. Afterwards you will have time to take photos and take a short walk.
Underground cities are the trademark of Cappadocia. More than 100 underground lifespans are known in the region. These architectural wonders have been built to shelter, hide and sustain life since the time of the Hittites. It is known that the first Christians used underground cities to hide from the Arab invasion for a long time. Kaymaklı city is the largest and most visited underground city. Get ready to feel your freedom.
The pigeon later became the most important animal for Cappadocia. It is one of the iconic visiting areas of Cappadocia. People living in nature used pigeons as fertilizer in agriculture and pigeon eggs to decorate their chains.
The most effective way to create permanent frescoes was to use pigeon eggs, and this discovery changed the lives of both them and the pigeons. They built large pigeon houses carved into the rocks, fed them and lived a common life. Even though there are no fresco artists today, this common life continues.
At the end of the tour, we will transfer you to Kayseri or Nevşehir airport for your flight to Istanbul. When you arrive in Istanbul, we will meet you at the airport and transfer you to your hotel.
