An In-Depth Look at the Tour Experience

Embarking on this guided day trip means waking up ready to explore Central Anatolia’s most iconic sights. Starting from your hotel, the tour transports you through the unique lunar-like terrain, shaped by volcanic activity and erosion. It’s fascinating to realize how humans have historically taken advantage of the soft volcanic rock—carving out everything from underground shelters to church monasteries and dovecotes.

Exploring the Underground City

The highlight for many is the underground city—a vast labyrinth built beneath the earth, originally serving as a defense point against invaders. Designed as a multi-level refuge, these subterranean networks are both intriguing and a bit claustrophobic, but in a good way. We loved the way our guide explained the purpose of each chamber, giving us a vivid picture of life underground during tumultuous times. As one reviewer notes, “It’s a real eye-opener to see how resourceful people were, turning the soft rock into a fortress.”

Uçhisar Fortress and Village

Next, you’ll visit Uçhisar, a small village crowned by a massive rock fortress. From here, the panoramic views are breathtaking, offering a sweeping perspective of Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys and valleys. Walking through the narrow streets, you’ll feel like you’re stepping back in time, surrounded by stone houses and local shops. The fortress itself provides a striking vantage point—perfect for photos and absorbing the region’s vastness.

Valleys of Avclar and Güvercinlik

The tour then takes you through Avclar (Hunters) Valley and Güvercinlik (Dovecotes) Valley. These are some of the most picturesque spots in Cappadocia, with rock formations that shimmer under the sun and dovecotes carved into the cliffs—a testament to the ingenious ways locals utilized the terrain. Our guide shared stories about how these valleys were once vital for local food sources and bird raising, adding depth to the scenery.
