Highlights
Most visitors see North Cappadocia. This tour takes you somewhere they do not.
The Green Tour explores the southern side of the region, a completely different landscape where a lush river canyon cuts 100 meters through volcanic rock, an underground city descends eight floors into the earth, and a rock-carved monastery the size of a cathedral clings to the cliffs above a quiet village.
A full-day small-group experience with hotel pickup, open-buffet lunch and all entrance fees included. Maximum 10 guests. The ideal second-day tour for guests who have already seen North Cappadocia, and a standalone masterpiece for nature and history lovers.
HIGHLIGHTS
- Explore Kaymaklı, one of the deepest underground cities in the world.
- Hike 1 hour along the riverbank of the breathtaking Ihlara Valley canyon
- Discover Selime Monastery, the largest rock-carved complex in Cappadocia
- Includes professional guide, entry fees, and a delicious set-menu lunch.
