Cappadocia Red & Rose Valley Hiking Tour with Kaymaklı Underground City and Ortahisar Castle – Full Day Experience

(Lunch included) 
Start your day with an early morning pickup from your hotel in Cappadocia. Your first adventure is a 4 km hike through the spectacular Red Valley, famous for its vibrant rock formations and hidden rock-cut churches carved into the valley walls. Next, continue to the Rose Valley, named for its beautiful rose-colored rocks that change hues with the seasons and weather. Here, you’ll visit several ancient cave churches, soaking in the rich history and stunning natural beauty. The tour then proceeds to Çavuşin, an old Christian village known for the 5th to 8th-century wall paintings in St. John’s Church, the oldest church in Cappadocia. After this cultural exploration, enjoy a traditional lunch in the serene Pigeon Valley, famous for its thousands of pigeon houses carved into the cliffs. Post lunch, discover the fascinating Kaymaklı Underground City, originally carved into eight floors beneath Kaymaklı Castle rock hill. While only four floors are open to visitors, this subterranean city once sheltered up to 5,000 people during wartime, offering a glimpse into the incredible ingenuity of ancient Cappadocians. Before returning to your hotel, visit Ortahisar Castle, a unique rock fortress offering panoramic views of the town and surrounding landscapes. At the end of this memorable day, we bid farewell to our valued guests, hoping to see you again on another TravelShop Booking adventure.
