CAPPADOCIA TOUR 1
In the morning you will meet with your guide for your tour of the Cappadocia area.
The first stop will be Devrent Valley which is known as "Valley of Fairy Chimneys". Here you will see the best example of the fairy chimneys which are hollowed and untouched.
The next stop will be Zelve Open Air Museum that is a monastery complex with various carved rock houses and churches, one of the most spectacular sites in Cappadocia.
Continue on to Pasabag which is also named as "Monks' Valley" surrounded by vineyards and numerous tuff cones that were carved in the upper section for better protection. Later drive to Avanos which is a charming town on the banks of the Kizilirmak River that gets its name from the clay that it deposits. This clay has provided Avanos with pottery for centuries and the town is still dominated by this industry.
After a lunch break in Avanos continue to Göreme Open Air Museum that is a monastery complex of rock churches and chapels covered with frescoes, one of the best known sites in Turkey. Then drive through Esentepe which has a panoramic view of the valley and the villages.
The last stop of the tour will be Uchisar which is a small settlement next to a large triple rock formation. Visit the citadel on the summit of this nearly 100 m tall rock.
That concludes the end of the tour and you will transfer back to the hotel in Cappadocia or airport.
