Day 2. Sunrise Balloon Flight
After balloon tour start the day visiting Devrent Valley, also known as
“Imagination Valley”, this is the most surreal-looking landscape. Your next stop
will be Pashabagi also called the Monks Valley because Christian hermits chose
to locate hermit cells and churches in these three-headed pinnacles symbolic of
the Holy Trinity, it’s possible to see all the stages in the formation of fairy
chimneys at this spot.
Proceed to Avanos (Venessa) the pottery centre of Cappadocia, this village is
set on the banks of the Kizilirmak/Red River. The river gets its name from the
red clay it deposits. You can watch the potters at work using kick wheels, the
technique which has remained unchanged for generations. Lunch in a Local
Restaurant
Continue to Göreme Open Air Museum. The world’s most important Byzantine cave
churches are found in these once remote valleys where monks and nuns pursued
monastic life from the 3rd century on. Here you can see the best preserved
Byzantine cave wall paintings and frescos from the Iconoclastic period through
to the end of Seljuk rule. Icons with scenes from the Old Testament and the New
Testament above portraits of Church Fathers and saints depict the structure of
the Byzantine universe. Panoramic view point Esentepe. With a spectacular view
over Göreme, see the complete view of Goreme valley and Goreme village: fairy
chimneys, rock formations and cave houses. End your day with Uchisar Castle.
Day 3. Start the tour with a spectacular view over Göreme from Esentepe. You
will see the complete view of Göreme valley and Göreme village: fairy chimneys,
rock formations and cave houses. Continue driving to Derinkuyu Underground City,
one of the best preserved and deepest Underground Cities in Cappadocia.
Derinkuyu is excavated to a depth of approximately 85 m. It contains all the
usual rooms found in an underground city (stables, cellars, storage rooms,
refectories, churches, wineries etc.), a large room on the second floor was a
missionary school with study rooms. Proceed to Ihlara Valley. This gorge is 16
km long and both sides are lined with rock carved churches, there are more than
a hundred little churches and houses. You will walk about 4 km along the river
in the valley exploring the hidden churches. At the end of your walk lunch will
be served at Belisirma Village by the river. On the way back visit Selime
Monastery, carved out of the rock by Christian monks in the 13th century. The
size of the church makes a visit here astonishing. Stop briefly at Yaprakhisar
Panorama point for another view of this great Monastery (this is also the spot
where famous movie “Star wars” was shot).
Optional Turkish Night.
Day 4. We will pick you up in the morning from your MDC Hotel and start our
full day Cappadocia tour. Start the day with a hike along the Red & Rose Valley,
the most breathtakingly and mysteriously beautiful valleys in the region. The
valleys, with their fabulous volcanic rock formations, are in the heart of
Cappadocia but well away from the mainstream tourist haunts. Our hike will end
in Cavusin Cave Village, where we will see a rock castle and troglodyte
dwellings where people lived until the 20th century. After lunch in a local
restaurant we descent towards the centre of the earth, with a trip to the

refectories, churches, wineries etc.) We will take a visit to the Pigeon Valley
