Explore the highlights of Northern Cappadocia on a small-group Red Tour with a maximum of 12 participants, led by a licensed local guide. This full-day experience offers an immersive journey through the region’s history, nature, and craftsmanship, combining iconic landmarks, stunning landscapes, and cultural encounters.

Your tour begins at 10:00 AM with hotel pickup in a comfortable, air-conditioned vehicle. First, visit Uçhisar Castle, the highest point in Cappadocia, where you’ll enjoy panoramic views of Göreme Valley, distant volcanoes, and the surrounding fairy chimneys. Then continue to Paşabağ (Monks Valley) to witness the region’s most famous three-headed fairy chimneys and St. Simeon’s hermit cell carved into the rocks.

Next, head to the Zelve Open-Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site and once one of the largest cave communities in Cappadocia. Explore rock-cut churches such as the Church with Grapes, Church with Deer, and Church with Fishes, all adorned with centuries-old frescoes. Continue on to Devrent Valley (Imaginary Valley), where nature has sculpted surreal formations that resemble animals and objects.

Enjoy a homemade lunch at a local restaurant in Göreme, prepared with fresh, organic ingredients. In the afternoon, visit Avanos, a riverside town known for its deep-rooted pottery tradition. Watch a kick-wheel pottery demonstration and, if you like, try shaping the red Cappadocian clay yourself.

Before returning, stop at the scenic viewpoint of Love Valley to admire its whimsical rock formations and take your final photos of the day. The tour concludes around 5:00 PM, with drop-off at your hotel.

This tour includes all museum entrance tickets, transportation, lunch, and the guidance of a professional English-speaking guide. Ideal for travelers seeking a comfortable, insightful, and high-quality small-group experience in the heart of Cappadocia.
