Detailed Description
You will be picked up from your hotel at 09:30 AM to begin this unforgettable journey through North Cappadocia. The first stop is Devrent Valley, famous for its unusual rock formations that create an otherworldly landscape. As you explore the valley, you will encounter rock formations resembling animals, creating a natural sculpture zoo.
Next, visit Paşabağ (Monks Valley), home to some of the most iconic fairy chimneys in Cappadocia, including the unique "mushroom-shaped" formations. Afterward, head to Avanos, a town renowned for its pottery-making tradition, which dates back to the Hittite era. Here, you can witness local artisans crafting pottery from the red clay sourced from the Kızılırmak River, Turkey’s longest river.
Following a lunch break, continue to the historic Zelve Open Air Museum, where you will explore ancient churches, chapels, and monasteries carved into fairy chimneys from the 10th to 13th centuries. The day concludes with panoramic views of the surrounding valleys and a visit to the impressive Uçhisar Castle, offering breathtaking views of Cappadocia’s unique landscape. You will then be transferred back to your hotel. End of services.
A friend recommended talking to Mr Volkan from Tour of Istanbul Company for a tour in Cappadocia, including the balloon flight. The complete tour experience from the moment they pick up for the hotel until we returned the next day was spectacular: punctuality, selection of places we visited, the guide who accompanied us was super prepared and spoke in our language, the hotel was incredible! And of course Cappadocia is a spectacular, unique in the world and unforgettable! If you are traveling to this beautiful region of Turkey, I recommend doing the tour with them because the service was outstanding and is a place you must visit at least once in life.
