During the tour, we will enjoy spectacular panoramic views of the palaces and fortresses that adorn both banks, including the majestic Dolmabahçe Palace, the elegant Çırağan Palace, and the Rumeli Hisarı Fortress, among other historical monuments.

We will continue to the historic Fener & Balat neighborhood, perfect for strolling and getting lost among its romantic stone streets.

You will be collected from your hotel for a full day of tours in South Cappadocia.

Starting your day with a visit to Kizilcukur, an isolated valley sitting behind Urgup, you will see incredible rock formations, including the very famous rock-carved churches. Within this area, there are countless tracks connecting the churches to small villages and towns, winding through vineyards and gardens like spiders’ webs. It is common to come across villagers offering locally grown produce such as grapes, apples, and apricots with a warm welcome.

Next, we move on to Cavusin, one of the oldest settlements in the area, situated 2 km from Goreme on what is known as the Goreme–Avanos Road. In Cavusin sits the iconic St. John the Baptist Church (closed for renovations), offering panoramic views across the village. The stunning paintings within the church date back to the 5th century, making it the oldest church in the region. Unusually for Cappadocia, the church had a large courtyard, which was sadly eroded over time.

Moving on, we will then explore the absolute treasure known as the Underground City. This is only one of forty found in Cappadocia, and it is hard to imagine the work that went into the construction of its eight floors. Not all of the floors are open to the public.

Finally, we visit Pigeon House, another amazing structure featuring pigeon houses and unique rock formations.
