Nature and History: North Cappadocia Red Tour with Lunch

The Nature and History: North Cappadocia Red Tour with Lunch begins at 09:30 from your hotel in Goreme, or slightly earlier from other towns (we will inform you of the exact pick-up time for other towns at the time of booking). Our first stop is the most significant site in Cappadocia: the Goreme Open Air Museum. This extensive monastery complex, featuring nine ancient churches over 1000 years old, has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985. Our guide will provide you with detailed information about the museum and the history of the region. After spending approximately 1.5 hours exploring the museum, we will head to the Love Valley Panorama Point to admire the uniquely shaped fairy chimneys and the scenic views of Red and Rose Valleys.

Next, we will visit Pasabag Fairy Chimneys, known as “Monks Valley,” where you will see some of the best-preserved fairy chimneys in Cappadocia. This site is famous for its multi-headed fairy chimneys, and our guide will explain their formation and the geological history of the area. Following this, we will drive to Avanos for lunch at a charming boutique restaurant.

After lunch, we will watch a kick-wheel pottery demonstration in Avanos, an art form that dates back almost 4000 years to the Hittites. Our tour continues with a visit to Devrent Valley, where you can see the famous camel-shaped fairy chimney. Also known as Imagination Valley, this area features rock formations resembling various shapes like mushrooms, seals, and fingers, depending on your imagination. After this visit, we will return you to your hotel around 15:30.

The cost of this tour is 80 Euros per person. For more information or to make a booking, please send us an email. We will respond to your request within 24 hours.
