Cappadocia: Red and Green Combined Day Tour | ®ExcursionMania

Overview

Your adventure begins with a visit to the UNESCO World Heritage-listed Göreme Open Air Museum, renowned for its rock-cut churches adorned with ancient frescoes. As you explore these historic sanctuaries, your knowledgeable guide will share insights into the early Christian monastic life that once thrived here, offering a profound glimpse into Cappadocia's spiritual heritage.

Next, delve into the fascinating depths of one of Cappadocia's underground cities. These subterranean labyrinths, extending several levels below ground, were ingeniously constructed to provide refuge during times of peril. Wander through the interconnected tunnels and chambers, including stables, storerooms, churches, and wineries, all while learning about the resilient communities that once inhabited these hidden cities.

The tour continues to Paşabağı, also known as Monks Valley, celebrated for its remarkable fairy chimneys—tall, conical rock formations sculpted by millennia of natural erosion. Here, you'll encounter the Chapel of Saint Simeon, nestled within the unique landscape, and gain insight into the ascetic lives of the monks who once sought solitude in this serene environment.

A scenic stop at Pigeon Valley offers breathtaking panoramic views of the region's unique topography. Named after the numerous pigeon houses carved into the cliffs, the valley showcases the harmonious relationship between humans and nature, as pigeons were historically cultivated for their valuable droppings, used as fertilizer in the fertile vineyards of Cappadocia.

Your journey also includes a visit to the quaint village of Çavuşin, one of the oldest settlements in the region. Stroll through its narrow streets, observe traditional stone houses, and discover the ancient rock-cut churches that stand as testaments to the village's rich historical tapestry.

Throughout the tour, you'll have the opportunity to engage with local artisans and witness traditional crafts firsthand. From pottery workshops in Avanos, where the art of red clay ceramics has been perfected over generations, to carpet weaving demonstrations showcasing intricate designs, these experiences provide a deeper appreciation for Cappadocia's vibrant cultural heritage.

We selected this combined day tour to experience both the green and red highlights, and overall, it was a good choice. The sights were enjoyable, but keep in mind that entrance fees aren’t covered in the tour cost though you can opt out if you prefer. Personally, I’d suggest skipping the Open Air Museum. I wasn’t a fan of the souvenir shop visits, especially the onyx store, which felt like a setup to encourage purchases. That said, the minibus was comfortable with air conditioning, the hotel pickup was convenient, and the group we traveled with was pleasant.

This tour is ideal if you're pressed for time but want to see Göreme's highlights. Though scheduled for 9 a.m., I received a message pushing it to 10 a.m. something to note if you're planning your day. Be prepared for intense summer heat during the excursion. Despite this, it's a convenient way to experience the area's key sights efficiently.
