Tour Details:
In the morning, our professional guide will come to pick you up from your hotel with our vehicle. Your first stop is Uchisar Pigeon Valley. Then, you visit Derinkuyu Underground City, the largest settlement city in the world.
Pigeon Valley: Starting from Uchisar to Goreme and covering an area of 4 kilometers, Guvercinlik Valley took its name from the pigeon nests carved into the rocks. The local people fed these pigeons until the 9th century and used their manure in vineyards and their eggs in the plasters of frescoes.
Derinkuyu Underground City: We embark on a fascinating journey of history with Derinkuyu underground city, which went down in history as the largest underground city in the world. There is a missionary school on the 2nd floor of the city, which has all the features found in an underground city (stable, cellar, dining hall, church, winery, etc.). The ceiling of the school, which is a large area, is covered with a barrel vault, which is not uncommon in underground cities. The spaces to the left of the hall are study rooms.
Ihlara Valley: This valley, which is a natural wonder, is 18 kilometers long, approximately 150 meters deep and 200 meters wide, and has thousands of living spaces. Unlike other canyons, it is the largest canyon in the world where people lived in the past. There is walking outside the valley.
Lunch: You have lunch in Belisırma village in Ihlara Valley.
Nar Lake: The thermal water of Nar Lake, which is said to be good for various diseases because it is very rich in calcium, sodium and bicarbonate, is waiting to be discovered by local and foreign tourists. The crater lake Narlıgöl, which fascinates its visitors with its different natural beauty in four seasons, is located in the middle of Cappadocia. In addition to this richness, Narlıgöl also attracts attention with its thermal tourism potential. While water at a temperature of 65 degrees is extracted from the borehole on the lake shore, thermal water is a source of healing for diseases.
