Good to Know Before Your Red Tour

The exact finish depends on that day's route and traffic. Closed-toe shoes with good grip make a real difference. Bring layers for shifting temperatures through the day, and sun protection in summer. When you go inside the cave churches and other religious sites, plan to cover your shoulders and knees out of respect.
