Today promises another mystical experience as we commence with a captivating stroll through the Red Valley, unveiling its awe-inspiring rock-cut churches and embarking on a scenic 5 km hike through the enchanting Valley of Gulludere. Continuing our journey, we'll explore the ancient Cavusin village, steeped in history and abandoned several decades ago. Indulge in a delightful selection of Turkish Cuisine for lunch, revitalizing your senses for the afternoon ahead. Later, we'll venture to the Pigeon Valley to behold its panoramic vistas before delving into the depths of an Underground City, tracing its origins back to the Hittites and later utilized by early Christians. Witness the ingenious architecture, including stables, kitchens, living rooms, and bedrooms, ingeniously carved into the rock to provide sanctuary during times of conflict. En route back, marvel at the natural castles of Ortahisar. Finally, we'll transfer to Kayseri or Nevsehir airport for your flight to Istanbul airport. Upon arrival, you'll be transferred to your hotel in Istanbul, marking the conclusion of our service. (L)
