Day Trip to the Dream of Cappadocia
We set off towards the magical geography of Cappadocia with the first light of the morning. After arriving in the region, a day full of unique views awaits us:
Hot Air Balloon Ride (Sunrise)
We start our day by watching the hot air balloons that color the sky from a panoramic viewpoint. The balloons soaring above the fairy chimneys bring Cappadocia’s fairy tale silhouette to life in postcards.
Derinkuyu or Kaymaklı Underground City
We go meters underground to explore the defense tunnels and living quarters from the Hittites and uncover the secrets that have been hidden throughout history.
Devrent Valley (Imagination Valley)
We photograph the interesting silhouettes shaped by nature, ranging from camels to fish, in the rocks. Our guide brings to life the story of each rock formation with a delightful narration.
Pasha Vineyards (Monks Valley)
At this stop, where we will see the most beautiful examples of triple-headed fairy chimneys, we closely examine the rock formations which have become symbols of Cappadocia.
Uçhisar Castle
We climb to the highest point of the region, Uçhisar Castle, to enjoy a bird’s eye view of the valleys. At the top, a panoramic view of Cappadocia stretching to Mount Erciyes awaits you.
Pigeon Valley
We take a short nature walk in the valley between Uçhisar and Göreme, where fairy chimneys hollowed out with pigeon nests are located, while listening to the legends that feed the valley.
Pottery Workshop & Wine Cellar (Avanos)
You will have the chance to try making your own pottery while watching the expert crafting of pots shaped from the fertile clay of the Kızılırmak River. Afterwards, we participate in a tasting of local wines made from grapes grown in Cappadocia's volcanic soils.
Extra Activities (Optional)
You can personalize your experience with activities of your choice, such as ATV tours, horseback riding, or camel rides during the remaining time of the day.
Comfortable Shoes: For rugged terrain and valley hikes, you should prefer non-slip, comfortable sports shoes or trekking boots.
Layered Clothing: In the early morning during the balloon flight, the weather can be quite cool, while it will be warm during the midday hours. Therefore, "onion type" (layered, easily removable) clothing can be life-saving.
Sun Protection: The sun in Cappadocia can be quite strong in open areas. Sunglasses, a hat, and sunscreen should definitely be with you.
Portable Charger (Powerbank): As you will be taking a lot of photos among the fairy chimneys and balloon visuals, your battery may run out quickly.
Personal Medications: Your regular medications and a small energy boost (nuts, snacks) can be in your bag.
