Cappadocia Hidden Gems Private Tour
Cappadocia "Hidden Gem" Tour is a diverse tour of less-known but no more impressive sights and experiences. During this tour, you will visit ancient villages, an underground city, and other historical and natural sights steeping back thousands of years in history.
The tour starts with a hotel pick-up in the morning and goes to the first location, the Mazi Underground City. The incredible underground city dates back to the Roman period, even entailing some features of the Byzantium period. If that doesn’t surprise you alone, how about the fact that it includes not one, not two, but eight floors with 4 entrances, and was built for 6000 people to live? There were even barns for animals to live in. While all floors are not yet open for visitors, it is an incredible peek thousands of years in history.
Back in the daylight, you will be visiting the Soğanlı Village and Valleys. Named by some, the most beautiful places in Cappadocia, and also serving high historical importance, Soğanlı was once a place for an important monastic retreat. The city now offers an insight into the local villagers' idyllic living, and their crafts and workshops.
The Soğanlı Valley is stunning on its own but has an interesting addition to it. Thousands of pigeons live here and for a surprising reason. They played, and still do, a major role in fertilizing grapes that were used by monks for winemaking. The wine is still made in this region, following the same traditions.
There will be many more ancient villages, a recently discovered archaeological site, and a massive monastery for you to explore, but the last stop of the tour, Mustafapaşa, an old Greek town, is worth highlighting. Mustafapaşa has been called ‘the undiscovered gem of Cappadocia ‘. It was a Greek town until the populations exchanged between Greece and Turkey took place following the First World war. Greeks left some fine and diverse architecture, a grand church, and “The Medrese” (Islamic College) for you to explore.
