Join us for an exhilarating excursion through Cappadocia’s Soganli Valley and Underground City! Our adventure kicks off at 9:30am with convenient hotel pickup. We’ll start by heading to Ortahisar Panorama Point (Lavanta Panorama) to soak in breathtaking vistas of Ortahisar Castle while our expert guide shares insights into the region’s rich history and geography.
Next, we’ll explore Mustafapasa (also known as Sinasos in Greek), a picturesque former Greek village adorned with stunning architecture. Delve into the village’s multicultural past, witnessing ancient Greek houses, an Ottoman madrasah, and a charming 19th-century church.
Afterwards, we’ll venture to the hidden gem of Keslik Monastery, boasting three fascinating churches of varying ages. The Church of Archangels steals the spotlight with its remarkable paintings depicting scenes from the life of Jesus and Mother Mary. Then, we’ll visit the Sobessos Excavation Site, where remarkable Roman bathhouses, tombs, temples, and intricate mosaics await your exploration.
Continuing our journey, we’ll enter the serene embrace of Soganli Valley, known for its tranquility and seclusion. A leisurely hike along the valley’s edge will lead us to ancient cave churches, offering a glimpse into Cappadocia’s spiritual heritage. Lunch will be served amidst the beauty of this valley.
In the afternoon, prepare to be amazed as we descend into the depths of Derinkuyu Underground City, a UNESCO World Heritage Site and the deepest of its kind in Cappadocia. Explore the intricate network of caves and gain insight into the daily life of its ancient inhabitants.
Our adventure concludes around 4:30-5:00pm as we journey back to your hotel, leaving you with cherished memories of an unforgettable day exploring the wonders of Cappadocia.
