Full description

Göreme Panorama: Embark on an adventure at the legendary Göreme Panorama, where our guide will provide insights into the history of Cappadocia. Feel in control of the city at Esentepe Viewpoint, offering a magnificent panorama of the Göreme district. Enjoy the breathtaking views of valleys and rock formations while witnessing the sunrise and sunset – a favorite among tourists. Indulge in the unique vistas of Cappadocia from the numerous restaurants and cafes lining the hill opposite Göreme Valley.

 

Pigeon Valley: The 4100-meter-long Güvercinlik Valley, situated between Uçhisar and Göreme, takes its name from thousands of pigeon houses carved into tuff rocks since ancient times. Unlike typical holiday destinations, it is the perfect place to witness the magnificent beauties of nature and get lost in the mystical spirit of history.

 

Ihlara Valley: The next stop on the tour is Ihlara Valley, located in the middle of a volcanic plateau and home to many churches and monasteries. Formed as a result of Mount Erciyes' eruption, this captivating valley is considered the largest canyon in Cappadocia. Explore the valley on foot along a 6 km path.

 

Lunch in Belisırma Village: By joining the Green Tour Cappadocia, you'll have the opportunity to visit Belisırma Village, which has hosted thousands of tourists for years. Enjoy lunch at one of the traditional Turkish restaurants with a unique view of the river.

 

Selime Monastery: Located at the tip of Ihlara Valley, Selime Monastery attracts thousands of tourists every year with its natural formations that have witnessed history for years. Known as the largest monastery in Cappadocia, the two-story cathedral has hosted the Hittites, Romans, Byzantines, and Ottomans at different times, serving as the largest cathedral in Cappadocia.

 

Onyx Display: The final stop of the tour, Onyx Display, is a local stone store in Turkey. The Cappadocia region hosts a variety of interesting handicrafts that will impress travelers. Onyx, a little-known natural stone, is one of the pearls of Cappadocia. In this region, stones are expertly turned into jewelry.
