Your Cappadocia Green Tour begins with a comfortable pick-up from your hotel. After meeting your professional English-speaking guide, you will start exploring the natural and historical highlights of southern Cappadocia.
The first stop offers a breathtaking panoramic view over Göreme town and its famous fairy chimneys. This viewpoint is perfect for taking memorable photos and learning about the volcanic landscape of Cappadocia.
Next, we visit the beautiful Pigeon Valley. This valley is known for thousands of pigeon houses carved into the rocks. Historically, pigeons were used by locals for agriculture and communication.
Guests will visit a local Onyx stone workshop where skilled craftsmen demonstrate how traditional Cappadocian stone jewelry and ornaments are produced.
One of the most fascinating stops of the tour is the Underground City. These ancient subterranean cities were built thousands of years ago and were used by early civilizations as shelters during times of invasion.
The tour continues to the famous Ihlara Valley, one of the most beautiful natural valleys in Cappadocia. Known for its green landscape and rock-carved churches, the valley offers spectacular scenery.
Enjoy a delicious traditional Turkish lunch at a local restaurant located near the valley.
After lunch, the tour visits Nar Lake, a volcanic crater lake located in the Cappadocia region. The lake is surrounded by stunning landscapes and offers unique photo opportunities.
The final scenic stop of the tour offers another panoramic view of the Ihlara Valley from above, allowing visitors to admire the beauty of the valley without hiking.
