Day 1: Istanbul - Cappadocia (L - D)
You will be transferred from your hotel to Istanbul Airport for the flight to Kayseri or Nevsehir Airport (of your choice). On arrival, you will be greeted by your driver who will transfer you to your Cappadocia hotel. A morning hike through Rose Valley awaits you – a beautiful stretch of land that takes its name from the red-hued rock that abounds throughout it. Wedged between the villages of Göreme and Çavuşin, the valley is studded with rock-carved churches and tunnels, and your guide will point out the best ones on your hike. Finish up in Çavuşin, and after visiting its cave mosque, after lunch. Hop aboard your minibus and continue your day’s tour to Kaymakli Underground City, one of Cappadocia’s best-preserved subterranean sites. Explore its maze of passages, seeing underground stables and cellars while learning about the early Christians who once hid here to escape persecution. Return to your coach and travel to Ortahisar – your final stop of the day. On a stroll, admire its stone houses that surround its crowing rocky glory -- Ortahisar Castle. You will stop to take photos by this unique fortress and then return to your hotel in time for dinner.
Day 2: Cappadocia (B - L)
In the morning, you have an optional hot air Balloon ride. After breakfast at the hotel, you will be picked up for an excursion to Imagination Valley, where intriguing animal-like rock formations are abundant. You will admire the landscape and stop in Paşabağ (Monk’s Valley) in the region of Zelve, to walk through the area’s cone-like rocks where monks and hermits once lived in peaceful seclusion. You will then continue by minibus to the pottery town of Avanos, and have lunch. The you will take a ride to Pigeon Valley and be amazed by its famous bird-nesting caves and head to Göreme Open-Air Museum. Exemplified by dusty-looking beige buildings and fairy chimneys, this open-air museum comprises a cluster of rocky monuments that attest to Byzantine life in Cappadocia.
