CAPPADOCIA TOUR 2
( Full Day )
The
tour will start off with a visit to Red
Valley which was inhabited by former
 christian
colony surrounded by orchards and
vineyards filled with carved rock houses
and fairy chimneys. Chance to hike in
this beautiful valley.
Then continue to Rose Valley, enjoying
the landscape no science fiction movie
would dare to build. See acres of lunar
landscapes filled with fairy chimneys,
rock formations and churches formed from
an unusual combination of lava, floods,
rain and the wind creating deep valleys
and fantastic sculptures. After visiting
Rose Valley drive to Cavusin Village
which was inhabited by Chrsitian com munities.
See chapels, churches and some rock
houses that are still inhabited.
Lunch break and then visit to Pigeon
Valley, an area named for hundreds of
little windows carved into the rocks to
attract nesting pigeons. Villagers
wouldwould collect the droppings to use
them for fertilizer.
Then drive to visit Kaymakli Underground
City that is carved into tuff rocks. It
has the necessary shelter conditions for
temporary living. Four floors are
 illuminated
and opened for a visit. As many as 2000
early christians hid in these caves in
total darkness to escape the persecution
of the Romans.
Later drive to Ortahisar Castle, a
distingusihed view of the honeycombed
rock in the centre of the town which
gives a unique appaarance. There is a
great harmony between the early carved
rock settlement centre and the recent
town centre because they both reflect a
close cultural link with the surrounding
landscape.
 The
last stop will be Mustafapasa Village.
This village was inhabited by Greek
Orthodox Christians until the population
exchange between Turkey and Greece in
1924. There are several chapels and
churches which are worth seeing.
End of the tour and transfer back to the
hotel or airport. |
