If you're planning a vacation to Belek, Turkey, a trip to Cappadocia is an absolute must. Our team is excited to offer you the chance to explore this extraordinary region. Known for its vast, surreal valleys and ancient underground cities, Cappadocia is a place where history, culture, and nature come together in breathtaking harmony. Get ready to uncover the secrets of this magical land, where every corner hides a fascinating story and every view feels like a journey to another world.
Your adventure begins early in the morning, as we embark on a 500 km journey from Belek to the otherworldly beauty of Cappadocia. The road trip will be comfortable and enjoyable aboard our modern, air-conditioned bus, making the long distance feel like a breeze. Upon arrival, we’ll start our exploration with a visit to undergroun cities like Tatlarin. One of Cappadocia's most unique features is its underground cities. These subterranean complexes, such as Saratli, were carved into the soft volcanic tufa, allowing ancient inhabitants to create hidden living spaces, storage rooms, and even Christian chapels. These underground dwellings once served as protection from invaders, and visiting them offers an incredible sense of what life was like below the surface, without sunlight and under constant threat. After this immersive experience, you’ll return to the surface, where the sunlight will make you appreciate the simple beauty of daylight in a whole new way.
We’ll then check into your hotel for the evening. For those interested, you can book a Turkish Night for an exciting show featuring traditional dances, music, and a vibrant atmosphere (this is an optional extra, not included in the excursion package).
The next morning, we start our exploration of the stunning valleys that have made Cappadocia famous worldwide. Prepare to be amazed as we visit some of the most picturesque landscapes in the region:
Devrent Valley (Imagination Valley): A surreal landscape where hundreds of rock formations resemble animals, faces, and other shapes. Let your imagination run wild!
Valley of the Monks: Famous for its towering fairy chimneys, this valley also holds legends of monks who once lived in cells carved into the rock.
Goreme Valley: A true open-air museum, featuring rock-hewn churches and chapels that date back centuries, filled with frescoes and religious significance.
Pigeon Valley: Offering breathtaking views of thousands of pigeon holes carved into the cliffs, this area is as beautiful as it is historically significant, with ancient dovecotes scattered across the landscape.
Our tour will conclude with a visit to Uchisar Castle, a city-fortress carved into the rock that offers a panoramic view of the surrounding area. This impressive structure, with its maze of hidden passages and chambers, demonstrates the ingenious engineering of the ancient inhabitants who used it as a defense against invaders.
