Itinerary

In the morning, meet your guide at your Cappadocia hotel for your small-group day trip to Devrent Valley, Monks Valley and Göreme Open Air Museum. Start the day by driving, in your air-conditioned coach, to the marvelous Devrent Valley. Here, admire the abundant volcanic pinnacles, bizarre shaped boulders, and wondrous fairy chimneys. Listen as your guide explains how natural forces eroded these formations over millennia.

Next, capture photos of mushroom-topped rock monoliths rising from the nearby vineyards in Pasabag also referred to as Monks Valley. Learn about the monks and hermits that once found solitude within these lonely cone shelters.

Move on to Avanos and mold yourself a clay souvenir during a fun pottery workshop. But first, watch close as the artisans spin a wheel of clay and carefully produce one of Turkey’s ancient crafts. Now that you’ve seen how it’s done, make your own creation.

Afterwards, head to the Göreme Open-Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and break for lunch (included) at a nearby restaurant. Then, visit the museum and discover its ancient frescoes covering the ceilings of rock-chiseled chapels, monasteries, and churches. Gaze at the colorful details that still remain centuries later and appreciate the effort of these long passed painters.

Leave the museum and hop back in your coach as you journey to your hotel where your tour ends.

Benjamin was a great tour guide in Cappadocia and was very informative. Benjamin had extensive knowledge of the history of the area and pointed out unique facts along the route. The outside museum was great. Benjamin catered to our needs (changing lunch to be later as we were not yet hungry). Tafana restaurant was good and we managed to sample the famous Cappadocia Testi kebap.

AnilahQ, May 2017

Our first time to Cappadocia and what an amazing experience it was. We were not aware of such history existed within central Turkey. We visited Devrent Valley, Open Air Museum and Monk Valley. Monk Valley was our favourite site, the structures and chimneys were mind-blowing. The art in the caves at the Open Air Museum were incredible and had such detail. Lunch was at a authentic restaurant with pleasant staff and amazing food. Hafiz our guide was brilliant he was very informative and left nothing out. He also answered every question he was asked. Full of knowledge and an amazing guide. He was polite and always kept us in the loop for everything we were doing and had planned to do. His love and admiration for his home town Cappadocia was heartfelt. Highly recommend this tour as Cappadocia has so much to offer.
