About this tour

This full-day guided tour covers both the north and south sides of Cappadocia in central Turkey. You'll walk through valleys shaped into fairy chimneys and other odd rock formations, step inside centuries-old cave churches painted with frescoes, and go underground into one of the region's carved-out cities. A local guide fills in the history and culture as you go, and you'll pass through traditional villages along the way. Hotel pickup, drop-off, and travel by air-conditioned coach are all part of the day.

Good to Know Before You Go

The day starts with hotel pickup, usually between 09:00 and 09:30, and wraps up around 17:00 to 18:00. The sites you visit, including the Göreme Open-Air Museum and the underground cities, keep their own hours, generally 08:00 or 09:00 to 17:00 or 19:00 depending on the season. Following the pace your guide sets keeps the group on schedule and gives you the most time at each stop.

Dress casually and comfortably, since there's a fair amount of walking and some light hiking over dirt paths and uneven ground. Closed-toe walking shoes with good grip are the right call. At the cave churches and other religious sites, cover your shoulders and knees out of respect.
