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 communities. 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.
