Cappadocia Small Group Daily Green Tour with Valley Walking

Embark on a Turkish cultural and natural adventure on a bus tour of Cappadocia. See the region's highlights, including the Uçhisar Panorama, Kaymakli or Derinkuyu Underground City, and Nar Crater Lake, among others. Tuck into a local lunch between incredible views.  Start off with a visit to the highest point in Cappadocia: Uçhisar Panorama. This point is located in Uchisar Village, the highest village in the region between Nevsehir City and Göreme Village. Having a geostrategic position, this magnificent castle was used as an observatory for watching the whole region from the top to prevent enemy attacks.  Then, drive to the Kaymakli or Derinkuyu underground city, the widest, most enchanting, and one of the over 100 most wonderful underground cities in Cappadocia. The miraculously well-protected and maintained structure has been a UNESCO World Heritage Site since 1985.  Continue to visit Nar Crater Lake. This crater lake was formed when a volcano blew its top sometime in the not-too-distant geological past. The hot sulfurous water, which still bubbles up, is known for having healing touches for many skin problems as well as rheumatism. Many people from neighboring villages come here for a cure.  Then, pause to enjoy lunch in a local restaurant. Afterwards, continue to see Ihlara Valley, near Mount Hasan and Mount Melendiz (two of the three volcanoes of Cappadocia). It is a canyon with a depth of approximately 80m and was formed by the Melendiz River thousands of years ago with walking routes inside.  Finally, head to Pigeon Valley. The valley is named for the many pigeon houses or dovecotes carved into the rocks and cliffs. Then, sit back and relax on your way back to your hotel.
