DAY 1: Arrive Cappadocia in the morning hours. Your guide and driver will meet you at the airport in Cappadocia to start your two-day Cappadocia adventure. From the airport, you will head over to a viewing point over Goreme to learn about the geography, formation, and history of Cappadocia. You can see all the way to The Pigeon Valley, Rose and Red Valleys, Goreme and Uchisar Villages from this point. The sites continue with the next stop at Kaymakli Underground City, one of the UNESCO World Heritage Sites in Cappadocia. After seeing how life was underground you will be driven to Pigeon Valley to see Uchisar Castle and the valley from a panoramic point.
Lunch for your first day will be served at a local restaurant in Avanos and then you’ll stick around Avanos to see a kick-wheel pottery demonstration, a traditional Turkish craft.
Your day rounds out with a visit to Pasabag, also known as the Monks Valley that is home to fairy-chimneys. Finally, we will visit Devrent Valley where you can see more fairy chimneys in different shapes. Then your driver will take you to your overnight accommodations in Cappadocia for you to get some dinner (not included) and some rest.
DAY 2: The next day, hit up the complimentary buffet breakfast at the hotel before your 9:30 am pick up. Your tour starts with a trip to the Red Valley and Rose Valley where you will see lots of pigeon houses and beautiful rock-cut churches. Then drive to Cavusin Village, an abandoned village with amazing views. After seeing the panoramic view of the village, you will drive to the highest point in Cappadocia, the Uchisar Castle. Snap some pictures and enjoy the altitude before you come back down for a lunch break at a local restaurant.
After lunch, you will visit Goreme Open Air Museum, the second UNESCO World Heritage Site of this tour. You will see the best-preserved rock-cut churches in the Cappadocia area.
