Tour Itinerary

CAPPADOCIA TOUR-2 DAYS/1 NIGHT Cappadocia,a dreamy slice of central Turkey dotted with ‘fairy chimneys’ (rock formations), has a history in every bit and has a remarkable landscape. Volcanic eruptions created this surreal moonscape: the lava flows formed tuff rock, which wind and rain sculpted into sinuous valleys with curvy cliff faces and pointy Fairy Chimneys. Cappadocians chiselled homes in the soft rock, paving the way for cave-dwelling hippies and today’s boutique Fairy-Chimney hotels.The area’s most extraordinary phase was during the Medieval Era, when the valleys were a refuge for Byzantine Christians. The religious troglodytes established monastic settlements, and their cave churches add a biblical solemnity to the Flintstones-like region. The Göreme Open-Air Museum,a World Heritage site,has the best collection of chapels and living quarters, most dating to around the 11th century. 05.30 Pick up from your hotel, transfer to Istanbul Atatürk Airport.Take a flight at 07.00 to Kayseri or Nevsehir Airport.Our representative will meet you at the Airport and continue to the region for full day North of Cappadocia Tour.
