Hiking and Underground City Tour
Overview
On this full-day tour of Cappadocia you'll visit Derinkuyu Underground City, the largest excavated site of its kind in Turkey. At a depth of 85 meters the multi-level city could accommodate up to 20,000 people.
Continue your journey to the stunning Ihlara Valley, where you’ll enjoy a scenic hike through a lush canyon carved by the Melendiz River. Along the way, discover ancient cave churches dating back to the 7th–11th centuries, many of which are adorned with remarkably well-preserved and vividly colored frescoes depicting biblical scenes.
Stop at Belisirma, a typical Anatolian village, to enjoy lunch and visit some of the churches open to tourists. Make a stop at Nar Lake (Nar Gölü), a volcanic crater lake historically believed to possess healing powers and once considered a spiritual site by local civilizations. Surrounded by legends and cultural reverence, it offers a peaceful glimpse into the region's mystical past.
