Day 01

From Alanya to Cappadocia's Valleys and Underground Wonders

  • Pick up from your hotel in Alanya and stop for breakfast at a restaurant, with a lunch box provided by the hotel.
  • Visit the Museum of the Underground City of Saratlı. Saratli Kirkgoz Underground City is a magnificent historical wonder that has captured the imagination of visitors with its rich history. Situated near the Aksaray-Nevşehir main road, about 25 km from the city center, it is considered one of Aksaray's hidden gems.
  • Have lunch at a restaurant in Cappadocia.
  • Continue to Fantasy Valley or the Pottery and Ceramics Center.
  • Visit Pigeon Valley. Güvercinlik Vadisi (Pigeon Valley) earned its name from the countless man-made dovecotes, or pigeon houses, carved into the soft volcanic tuff. Since ancient times, pigeons have been used in the Cappadocia region for food and fertiliser for the infertile soil.
  • Stop at a center for Turkish delights and sweets.
  • Explore the Goreme Open-Air Museum. The Goreme Open-Air Museum resembles a vast monastic complex composed of scores of refectory monasteries placed side by side, each with its own fantastic church. It is clearly one of the first sights to be visited by any traveller in Cappadocia, standing in the very center of the region with easy access from all directions.
  • Visit the Valley of Love. Love Valley is located near the town of Goreme in Nevşehir and is one of the most beautiful valleys of Cappadocia. The panoramic view of Love Valley is especially impressive. Due to the special conditions of the valley, it is called the Valley of Love.
  • Arrive at your 4-star hotel and check in. Dinner will be served at the hotel restaurant.
  • After dinner, attend a laser show at the open-air theatre as part of the Night Cappadocia show program.

Day 02

  • Depart in the morning for the balloon panorama.
  • Have breakfast and check out from the hotel.
  • Visit the center of Onyx and the Sultanate.
  • Enjoy a panorama stop at Uchisar fortress. Uçhisar was first mentioned in a 14th-century chronicle by Aziz ibn Ardasir, although the general area had been occupied much earlier, perhaps from Hittite times.
  • Take a photo break at Üçgüller and visit Paşabağ Valley.
  • Attend a fashion show at the leather goods center.
  • Have lunch at a restaurant in Konya before returning to your hotel in Alanya.
