Underground City Early Christians who fled to this area to escape persecution, created these amazing underground cities in the 14th Century. Some of these cities date back further, all show an amazing moment from our ancient past. The architecture and the structures of these dwellings are hard to believe, they include many levels with houses, schools, cellars and even animal stables. Your tour guide will walk you through and tell you how these people lived day by day.

Cavusin Village a wonderful labyrinth of rock homes This area is one of the oldest known areas of Cappadocia where people carved out their homes, some of which date back several centuries. Also dating back to the 5th Century, The village is famous for the Church of John the Baptist.

Rose Valley near the town of Urgup, is scattered with vineyards and beautiful gardens but what makes it so interesting are the paths and tracks that link up all the nearby villages and small settlements, you can almost travel back through time and see exactly how the people here interacted.

Meskendir Valley is a small green fertile valley where you will visit a small church that has a ceiling which has been carved out into a cross formation, adorned in geometric shapes and red frescos of what look to be depictions of saints.

Pigeon Valley an area of Cappadocia that is covered with pigeon houses, everywhere you look you will see holes, in the rocks, trees, houses. A truly strange yet practical lifestyle. Locals for many years have kept pigeons to farm the manure as they realized it was a rich resource of fertilizer for their crops and soil, here you will also enjoy the views over the valley.

Red Valley across this Valley are layers of different coloured rock formations that give it a predominantly red colour. Here we also see the paths and tracks that link up these ancient villages.
The Red Valley is beautiful. Each turn in the path looks photoshopped, there is also a viewpoint where you can see the whole valley and appreciate the beautiful colours of these rocks. 
 
Uchisar Castle Panorama here is a view that you will never forget looking out over one of the largest rock formations in Cappadocia, known as the Castle of Uchisar. This is the highest point of Cappadocia, with amazing views over the whole region, even as far as the Erciyes Mountains.

Love Valley The rock formations here are phallic-looking, and you can see clearly why it gets its name. Formed over the centuries by the natural erosion of volcanic rock. The valley is an especially unusual landscape made up of rocks in the shapes of cones, pillars, pinnacles, mushrooms, and the well-known fairy chimneys.

At the end of the evening's tour, we will transfer you for your overnight stay in your hotel in one of the Cave hotels of Cappadocia an amazing experience in itself.
