Cappadocia Historical Highlights Private Tour
Cappadocia Historical Highlights Tour is for history, culture, and architecture lovers. During this tour, you will visit ancient villages, historical sites, and incredible natural sights steeping back thousands of years in history.
The tour starts with a hotel pick-up in the morning and starts with the magical Devrent Valley, also known as Imagination Valley. It features the famous fairy chimneys, wind and weather carved rock formations that resemble various characters and creatures. Most people mention spotted animal-shaped creatures, what will you spot?
Next on the list, Zelve Open-air Museum, which once housed one of the largest communities in the region and is an amazing cave town featuring houses, churches, community centers, and the only rock mosque in the area. By the time you finish exploring it, it will be midday, so we will stop for lunch in a nearby village, Avanos. A cozy village where people have been using the red clay of their river to make pottery for centuries. The village has many small, family-run potteries where the work is done in the old way and the skills are passed down through the generations. You may even get a chance to try the potter’s wheel yourself!
With energy levels restored, you are ready for the second half of the tour, starting with Paşabağ where the magical fairy chimneys can be seen. However, the shapes of fairy chimneys found at Paşabağ are different than the ones in other areas. The effect of basalt ‘caps’ protecting the softer tuff results in fairy chimneys having two, three, or even four heads.
The next stop is Çavuşin, an old Greek village uniquely carved in Cappadocia’s rocky formations. Here you will see ancient exceptionally well-preserved Greek buildings, religious and residential, dating back to the 5th century.
And the best for the last, Rose and Red valleys, famous for the unique tones of colors in the rocks and for the hidden churches. Being the last stop of the tour, you will get to see them at the perfect time, during the sunset.
