Day 1
Side Cappadocia 2-Day Trip starts with picking you up from your hotel by our air-conditioned bus. After a journey of about 2 hours, we give a breakfast stop in the town of Seydisehir. We continue our journey towards the Cappadocia region after breakfast and we arrive at Saratlı Kırkgöz Underground City near Aksaray province.

After lunch, we give breaks at Valley of Imagination and Valley of the Monks. You will feel like you are in a fairy tale in these valleys filled with fairy chimneys (soft volcanic rocks shaped like cones or towers) and wonderful natural beauty spots. Then, we visit the old Greek village of Cavusin and the Church of St. John the Baptist. The history of this village, which consists of settlements carved into the rocks, dates back to the 1st century BC. One of the first major churches of Christianity here, the Church of John the Baptist will impress you with its appearance and story.
