Cappadocia Red Tour was like a fairy tale! The journey from Uchisar Castle to Pasabagi Fairy Chimneys was magnificent with its history and nature. The frescoes at Goreme Open Air Museum and the ceramic masters in Avanos felt like magical touches, bridging the past to the present. The Turkish flavors during lunch were delightful. Our guide didn’t just provide information; he drew us into a story. Thanks for everything.
