Description

Leave Istanbul behind for two unforgettable days among Cappadocia’s sculpted valleys, rock-cut churches and remarkable underground settlements. This small-group journey combines the highlights of northern and southern Cappadocia with return domestic flights, airport transfers and one night in your selected hotel category. English or Spanish guiding is available.

DAY 1 — FLY TO CAPPADOCIA & EXPLORE THE NORTH

Your journey begins with an early pickup from your Istanbul hotel and a transfer to the airport. Check in for your domestic flight independently; on arrival in Cappadocia, meet your driver and begin exploring the region’s extraordinary landscape.

Take in the views at Göreme Panorama before discovering the frescoed churches of the Göreme Open-Air Museum. Continue to Ortahisar, known for its striking rock castle, then explore the mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys of Paşabağ and the imaginative rock formations of Devrent Valley.

Enjoy lunch at a local restaurant, followed by a stroll along the Red River and a visit to a pottery village to watch local artisans at work. Participation in a pottery workshop is optional. A scenic drive through Love Valley brings the day to a memorable close. Overnight in Cappadocia.

Meals: Lunch. Accommodation: One hotel night in Cappadocia.

DAY 2 — SOUTHERN VALLEYS, UNDERGROUND HISTORY & RETURN TO ISTANBUL

If you wish, begin your morning with an optional sunrise hot-air balloon flight, available at an additional charge and subject to weather and operating approval. After breakfast, pickup for your guided tour is scheduled between 9:30 and 10:00 AM.

Visit Uçhisar Castle and enjoy a four-kilometre walk through the Red and Rose Valleys, where rock-cut churches reveal the region’s early Christian heritage. Explore the cliff-carved homes of Çavuşin Village, then discover Kaymaklı Underground City, a remarkable network of spaces once used as a refuge.

Continue to Pigeon Valley for views toward Uçhisar and stop at the Three Beauties, a trio of iconic fairy chimneys near the vineyards. Lunch is included during the day. Afterwards, transfer to the airport for your flight to Istanbul, where your driver meets you for the return transfer to your hotel.
