Visit all the highlights of Cappadocia with this one-day tour, taking a morning flight from Istanbul and an evening flight back.

We take the morning flight from Istanbul to Cappadocia. Our guide and driver meet us on our arrival to Cappadocia Airport and start the tour. Kaymakli is our first stop to explore an underground city, and our guide will tell us the story of why and how underground cities were carved. Our next stop is Goreme Open Air Museum; located in the middle of a medieval Christian monastery and the rock cut churches with colorful frescoes here are some of the finest examples of Byzantine Christian Art. Our visit includes the Dark Church which has been restored exquisitely. After enjoying lunch at a local restaurant in Avanos, the center of artisanal terra cotta work, we will be visiting an artisan’s workshop to see this Anatolian art that goes back thousands of years. In the afternoon, we will drive to the nearby Sarihan Caravanserai to see an 800-year-old caravanserai where the merchants of the old trade routes used to lodge. Next, we visit Pasabag, a.k.a. the Valley of the Monks where we will see the largest and most dense area of rock formations used by Christian monks during the medieval ages. After this, we are transferred to Cappadocia Airport for the evening flight back to Istanbul.
