Goreme

Your tour will begin with a visit to Devrent Valley where various types of fairy chimneys are abundant. We will walk through this amazing valley before going to visit Paşabağı (Monk’s Valley) where you can see chimneys with multiple stems and caps, a sight unique to this area. After you have seen Paşabağı, we will drive to Avanos which is known for its pottery, a craft dating back to the Hittite period. The red clay which is worked by local craftsmen comes from the residue in the Kizil Irmak (Red River), the longest river in Turkey. We will stop for a traditional lunch of local specialities before proceeding to the Göreme Open Air Museum (entry to the Dark Church is not included with this tour) to visit the churches, chapels and monasteries carved into the fairy chimneys from the 10th to the 13th centuries with frescos painted on the walls. You will have the opportunity to photograph the neighbouring valleys before returning to your hotel.
