Cappadocia Tour Packages

Places To Visit

1. Goreme Open Air Museum

Considered as one of the top places to visit in Cappadocia, Goreme Open Air Museum is now a UNESCO World Heritage Site. It is home to some of the finest rock-cut churches which are painted from inside with murals. These churches can be dated back to 900-1200 AD. It is a nice way to explore the Byzantine art.

2. Red & Rose Valleys

These intertwining valleys that are a treat to sore eyes are nestled between the villages of Cavusin and Goreme. The rippling rocks show hues of yellow, pink, and orange due to volcanic activities along with erosion in this region. There are dozens of trekking trails to explore the heart of the region. Make sure to include this spot in your Cappadocia holiday package.

3. Kaymakli Underground Region

Cappadocia is home to several underground cities that are difficult to find anywhere else on the earth. The Bronze Age was responsible for the discovery of underground cities like Kaymakli. To protect themselves from the Persian and Arab invaders, Christians took refuge underground for long periods. All the rooms are connected with tunnels that can be explored by tourists.

4. Uchisar Castle

The rock-cut fortress in the village of Uchisar is full of caves and tunnels. Similar to the underground cities, it was home to many villagers who wanted protection in the Byzantine and Roman eras. A climb to the top of this fortress rewards you with panoramic views of the valleys in the region.

5. Pasabag

Popular as Monk’s Valley, Pasabag is popular for its peculiar mushroom-shaped chimneys. They are natural structures that are a result of erosion of millions of years. The locals believe that the area was inhabited by fairies and later monks took refuge in these abodes in the 4th and 5th centuries.

Best Time To Visit

Due to the continental climate in Cappadocia, summer and winter are the two main seasons with spring and autumn seasons too.
