02Day 2: Love Valley, Uçhisar Castle, Nut Tasting Point, Pigeon Valley, Three Beauties (Panoramic), Devrent Valley, Pottery Workshop, Open Air Museum, ATV Safari Tour, Avanos, Swinging Bridge
In the early hours of the morning, we reach one of the most impressive points in Cappadocia, the Valley of Love. In this unique atmosphere, colored by the hot air balloons that have become a symbol of the region, we have the opportunity to watch the enchanting scenery of Cappadocia. The fairy chimneys, formed millions of years ago by the lava spewed by Erciyes, Hasan Mountain, and Güllüdağ and shaped over time by wind and rain, have made Cappadocia one of the most significant natural heritage sites not only in Turkey but in the world. During our free time in the balloon viewing area, you can take unforgettable photos and feel the mystical atmosphere of the region up close.
After our balloon viewing program, we take a breakfast break at a local restaurant (Extra). Following breakfast, we head to Uçhisar Castle, which is one of the highest points in Cappadocia. This natural rock castle, used for defense and surveillance throughout history, held strategic importance during the Roman and Byzantine periods. Uçhisar Castle, featuring living areas, tunnels, and storage sections, is one of the most significant examples of rock-carved living culture in Cappadocia. During our tea and coffee break here, we enjoy the panoramic view of Cappadocia.
Next, we proceed to a tasting test of local nuts, which introduces regional products. Our guests will have the opportunity to experience local flavors and learn about products related to the region's culture.
Our next stop is the Pigeon Valley. The pigeon nests that were carved into the rocks by the locals throughout history have played a significant role in the production of natural fertilizer used in agricultural activities. We take a photo break in this unique valley, which showcases the natural and cultural heritage of Cappadocia.
Afterward, we see the Three Beauties Fairy Chimneys, one of Cappadocia's symbols, from a panoramic viewpoint. These natural formations, famous for the legends and mythological tales told by the locals, are among the most visited points in Cappadocia.
Continuing our tour, we reach the Devrent Valley, also known as the Dream Valley. This area attracts attention with its rock formations that have naturally occurred, giving visitors the feeling of an open-air sculpture gallery. We take a short walk in Devrent Valley, considered one of the most interesting valleys in Cappadocia due to its animal-shaped rock formations.
We then visit a pottery workshop near Devrent Valley. Pottery is one of Cappadocia's rooted cultural heritages, dating back to the Hittites. The pottery made from special red clay carried by the Kızılırmak River, the longest river in Turkey, is produced entirely by hand. In the workshop, we observe the traditional production techniques of the artisans and learn about the region's handicraft culture.
Then, depending on the density, we will visit either Paşabağlar, Zelve, or the Göreme Open-Air Museum (one of the three museums will be visited). These areas, which were significant centers of religious life during the early Christian period, feature rock-carved churches, monasteries, and living spaces. The rock churches adorned with frescoes from the Byzantine period are among the most important historical buildings that bring Cappadocia's religious and cultural past to the present.
In the continuation of our program, we offer our guests free time for an ATV Safari activity in Cappadocia's unique valleys. This activity provides the opportunity to explore the region's natural beauties in a different atmosphere, allowing for a pleasant driving experience among the valleys.
After our lunch break, we head to the historical town of Avanos, located on the banks of the Kızılırmak. Avanos, which draws attention with its history extending from the Hittite period to the present, is particularly known for its pottery culture. During our free time in the town center, we take a tea and coffee break accompanied by the view of the Kızılırmak, and then we take a walk on the Swinging Bridge, which has become one of Avanos' landmarks. At the end of the day, we return to our hotel.
Breakfast: Will be taken extra in the region.
Lunch: Will be taken extra in the region. (Free)
Dinner: Will be included in the price at the hotel where we will be staying.
Accommodation: Alleria Hotel Avanos, Mustafa Cappadocia Resort, Perissia Hotel, Suhan Hotel, etc.
03Day 3: Onyx Stone Workshop, Underground City, Selime Cathedral, Salt Lake
In the morning, after having breakfast at the hotel, we are moving to the Onyx Stone Workshop, where we can closely experience Cappadocia's natural stone culture. We receive information about the natural stones formed by the region's volcanic structure and have the opportunity to observe the processing stages. Our guests can examine the local stone craftsmanship here and do some shopping.
Next, depending on availability and density, we are visiting one of the region's suitable underground cities. The underground cities, which are among the most impressive historical structures in Cappadocia, were built throughout history to protect against wars and invasions. These living spaces, created by carving into rocks, include kitchens, food storage areas, ventilation systems, places of worship, and social living areas. It is known that the local people lived in these structures for a long time, especially during the early Christian period.
Continuing our tour, we are visiting the Selime Cathedral, one of Cappadocia's most magnificent rock formations. This structure, which was used as a religious education center during the Middle Ages, stands out with its monastery complex carved into the rocks. The Selime region also served as an important trade and accommodation center in the past because it is located along the historical Silk Road route.
Before starting our return journey after the Cappadocia program, we are taking a break for lunch in Aksaray.
Our next stop is Tuz Lake, Turkey’s second largest lake. Noted for its bright white appearance due to its high salt content, Tuz Lake is one of the important natural areas that meets a large part of Turkey's salt needs. After a pause for photo sessions and short walks, we will begin our return journey. We safely and comfortably transport you to the pick-up points where you were collected in the morning, concluding our tour with the hope of meeting again at the next Epic Holiday organization.
