The three-day tour to Cappadocia is magical and a full, fun package for all the tourists that visit Turkey. This is how the tour goes when you travel with us:
Day1
The tour officially begins when you are picked up from your hotel and set out to the Taurus Mountains in the Alpine belt of Central Anatolia. After a breakfast stop, you will set out to Konya City, where we will give you a lunch break. After that, you will get to visit the Mevlana Museum in Konya City to gain insight into Turkish Sufi culture and history. The next step on the schedule is a visit to the underground city of Saratli Kirkgöz in Aksaray province. This early Byzantine underground city, which has numerous rooms, tunnels, and living areas such as kitchens, stables, warehouses, meeting rooms, and churches, will surely fascinate you.
After that, you will visit a whirling dervish ceremony. This mystical ceremony takes its roots in hundreds of years of Anatolia’s religious traditions. It will surely be a fantastic experience to view the dervishes whirling in complete harmony with Sufi music. Then, your fun-filled day ends, and you will check in to your hotel to relax. If you’d like, you can attend the traditional Turkish night show in a nearby cave restaurant here for a night full of traditional Turkish music and folk dances.
Day2
If you want to take a hot-air balloon ride, the second day will start earlier than the others because the balloons take off at sunrise, at about 05.00. Alternatively, you can choose the panoramic balloon viewing service to view the balloons lift off on-site. After the event, the guides will bring you back to the hotel for a tasty breakfast.
The second day is no less fun as it revolves around exploring Cappadocia. After breakfast at the hotel, The Pasabağ Valley is the first on the list for the second day.
