Things To Do
Let Your Inner Explorer Roam Free

Any trip to Cappadocia should include a visit to this UNESCO World Heritage Site. Prepare to have your mind blown and your spirit uplifted as you venture into the whimsical wonderland of the Göreme Open-Air Museum's churches. Step into a realm where stone whispers tales of ancient devotion and the ceiling is your canvas for celestial dreams. Marvel at the frescoes and let the carvings dance through your imagination like a surreal carnival. These rock-hewn beauties will make you believe in miracles and have you contemplating life's mysteries while grinning like a mischievous gnome.

Hike Or Horse Ride In Red And Rose Valleys

Visit the stunning valleys in all of Cappadocia that rest between Goreme and Cavusin. Here, the cliffs built by volcanic eruptions and millennia of wind and water erosion roll and ripple across the countryside in a pastel palette of pink, yellow, and orange. With so many trails to choose from, it is a great time to lace up your walking shoes and explore the great outdoors on foot.

Explore The Village Of Goreme

A true hiker’s paradise! Choose this village as a starting point for exploring the surrounding area; from here, paths go through the valleys to unusual rock formations called "fairy chimneys," as well as to underground churches. The town is partially underground, its stone façade masking a labyrinth of cave dwellings. We recommend staying in one of the historic homes in Göreme that have been converted into elegant cave hotels.

Dive Into History 

This Zelve Open-Air Museum will transport you to the prehistoric era of Cappadocia with its enchanting rocky cliffs and cave houses. Make sure to visit the best-preserved church of Üzümlü (Grape) as well as the magnificent rock-cut mosque! However, the true delight of this location lies in leisurely strolls along the cliffside walks while admiring the breathtaking panoramas!
