After pick up, the tour will head to the deepest underground city to explore its 4 floors which go up to 30 meters deep. The cities of Kaymakli and Ozkonak were originally built in the 7th century BC, and further expanded during the Byzantine era. From here, you will move on to the highest point of the center of Cappadocia in Uchisar town, Uchisar Castle.
Visit the most important sight, Göreme Open-Air Museum, to see its many churches dating back to the 10th century, with gorgeous frescoes describing the life of Jesus Christ. The abandoned Cavusin village will be your next stop, giving you the chance to admire its Greek architecture.
Take some time for lunch in Avanos before visiting a pottery shop, and learn how to make ceramics. The tour then moves on to Pasabag, a sacred place and home to many monks. Prepare to see some of the largest fairy chimney rock formations in this place, with two or three caps each.
Finally, stop at Devrent Valley and marvel at its rock formations, some shaped like animals. Find out exactly why this place has been nicknamed Imagination Valley! At around 5:00pm, board the luxury vehicle once again and head back to your accommodation.
