You will be picked up from your hotel in Istanbul around 4:00 am and will be transferred to the domestic airport for your flight from Istanbul to Kayseri or Nevsehir between 6:00 – 7:30 am.
Upon arrival at Kayseri or Nevsehir airport, you will be picked up and transferred to Cappadocia. In Cappadocia, you will meet your professional tour guide to begin your full-day tour of Cappadocia.
The first stop of the tour will be 德文伦特谷, also known as “Imagination Valley,” where the extraordinary rock formations resemble animals and various shapes, created naturally over centuries. This is one of the most iconic landscapes in Cappadocia with its fairy chimneys.
Next, you’ll head to 阿瓦诺斯, a charming town known for its ancient pottery tradition dating back to 3000 BC. The town sits along the Kizilirmak River, or Red River, which provides the red clay used for pottery. Here, you’ll visit a traditional pottery workshop to see artisans creating unique ceramic pieces, a craft passed down through generations.
Afterward, you’ll enjoy a delicious lunch at a local Turkish restaurant before continuing your journey.
The next stop is the 泽尔维露天博物馆, an ancient monastic retreat with cave dwellings and churches carved into the rocks. This area provides a glimpse into the history of early Christian communities and their unique way of life.
From there, you’ll head to Uchisar Castle, the highest point in Cappadocia. While entrance to the interior of the castle is no longer allowed due to safety reasons, you will have the opportunity to take in spectacular panoramic views of the Cappadocia region and the distant Mount Erciyes from the surrounding area.
Finally, you will visit the impressive 卡伊马克勒地下城, one of Cappadocia’s most extensive underground cities. This multi-level city, carved deep into the rock, served as a refuge during invasions, with its complex tunnels and chambers offering a glimpse into the ancient defensive strategy.
After your full day of exploring Cappadocia, around 4:00 pm, you will be transferred back to Kayseri or Nevsehir Airport for your flight back to Istanbul, departing between 7:00 pm and 10:00 pm. END OF OUR SERVICE and TOURS.
