Overview

Discover southern Cappadocia’s underground settlements, dramatic canyons and rock-cut monasteries on a full-day small-group Green Tour.

Explore Kaymakli Underground City with a licensed local guide, walk beside the Melendiz River in Ihlara Valley and enjoy lunch at a selected restaurant near the valley. Continue to the monumental Selime Monastery before finishing with panoramic views over Pigeon Valley.

The experience includes Cappadocia hotel pickup and drop-off, transportation in an air-conditioned vehicle, a professional licensed guide, standard admission tickets and lunch.

With a maximum of 15 travelers, the tour offers a more personal experience than a large coach excursion while keeping the sociable atmosphere of a small group.
