What To Expect

Around 9:30am, board an air-conditioned vehicle at your Goreme hotel and begin your journey to the heart of Cappadocia’s striking landscape. Your first stop is Avanos, an ancient town famed for its production of earthenware pottery, where you’ll observe a pottery demonstration and learn of Avanos’ thriving ceramic industry.

Then, continue to Çavusin to explore one of Turkey’s oldest settlements: the beautifully preserved paintings of the 5th-century Church of St. John the Baptist are one of Çavusin’s top attractions.

Proceed to the spectacular lunar landscapes of Devrent Valley, where rocks shaped like camels, snakes, worshippers, and dancers abound. Capture these unique formations on camera before you arrive at Zelve Open Air Museum.

Discover churches and monasteries expertly carved into rock faces and admire original frescoes that date back to the 5th century. Having explored thoroughly, you’ll head to Pasabag Valley, where rock formations known as ‘fairy chimneys’ litter the landscape. These unique features are reminiscent of surrealist paintings and it is possible to ascend to the summit of one modified structure.

Your penultimate stop is Uchisar Castle, the highest point in Cappadocia. From this elevated vantage point, the views are simply spectacular.

Conclude your tour with a visit to a winery in Ürgup, where you’ll sample local wines before drop-off at your Goreme hotel.

Too many shopping stops
salotraroop, May 2024
There were too many shopping stops. The guide did not seem interested and was not engaging with the group. Not keeping time.
Wonderful

Amazing tour that I would recommend everyone in Cappadocia. It took almost 8 hours, we were always traveling by car with our marvelous guide Can.
Good
Tika_S, Dec 2023
My favorite is the lunch. The tour guide explanation is very good, but kind of hurry and we dont really have so much time to enjoy the walk and take the photo since the place we visit was large.
These boots are made for walking
Donya_G, Nov 2023
This is a lot of walking you need to be moderately active and healthy there are lots of stairs to engage and distances to walk
well organised tour
Chong_C, Oct 2023
We did this the day after the Green tour which was more tiring and this is definitely a god idea. The chimneys are amazing and Open Air Museum was great albeit a bit crowdy.
Great red tour experience

Noor, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and passionate about the sites seen. She had a good agenda and planned trip but still added flexibility (time to shop at a ceramic store and added a stop for seeing rugs). Great experience

Ed, Apr 2016
I was the only Viator client and the broker sold me to another tour agency. This was a full van with passengers from India and the tour guide was very good. I was staying for 3 nights in Goreme and wanted a tour of the Open Air museum. It was a much shorter day than other tours. We took pictures of Uchisar castle, walked around fairy chimneys in the north, and took a tour of an Avanos pottery factory. However, the Open Air Museum doesn't allow tour guides to accompany tourists in the museum sites. He did a fair job of explaining what we would see before we walked thru the area. The best church exhibit also has a 10TL entry fee without enough time to enjoy it. You are better off taking a taxi to the museum and renting an audio guide. The best places to visit are clearly in the southern tours.
Excursion obligatoria en Capadocia

Perfecta excursión!!! Hay que reservarla si o si, muy completo y con comida muy tradicional. El guía muy simpático y amable.

Guía magnífico. Fueron puntuales. Excursión completa para ver los mejores puntos de interés de la Capadocia. Lo peor es que te llevan a tiendas para que compres

La mejor forma de conocer Capadocia
Javier_J, Aug 2022
Lo mejo la visita al museo al aire libre de Goreme. Creo que sobra visita a fábrica de cerámica. Excelente las explicaciones del guía
Excursión muy bien organizada
MARIALUISAQ_P, Aug 2022
El museo al aire libre de Goreme, con sus iglesias catolicas; no esperaba que hubiera tantas. Lo malo fue el calor que pasamos y que la furgoneta no tenía aire acondicionado
100% RECOMENDABLE!!
Alfredo_O, Apr 2022
Totalmente recomendable, los lugares que visitamos nos dejaros encantados. El guía fue muy amable y simpático. Se hizo un recorrido muy ameno.
