   The starting point of this day. The highest point in the region is the rock-cut tower of Uçhisar, offering breathtaking views of the entire area. For centuries, it served as a unique dwelling, resembling an above-ground version of an underground city. Entrance fee 4 euro.

   Pigeon Valley, a nearly 5-kilometer-long valley, is one of Cappadocia's highlights. We’ll stop at a viewpoint offering a stunning panorama of the old town of Uçhisar and observe the traditional dovecotes carved into the rocks.

   Underground cities are among the most iconic attractions in Cappadocia. Kaymaklı, the second-largest underground city in the world, awaits us for an unforgettable exploration. Ticket 13€

   Mustafapaşa, historically known as Sinasos and often referred to as the "Athens of Cappadocia," is a former Christian village that still preserves some of the most beautiful houses in the region. Here, we will witness the poignant history of the population exchange.

   Ortahisar is a surreal town offering breathtaking sights. While enjoying traditional coffee, we’ll admire the town’s iconic rock-cut tower. This will be the final stop on our tour.
