Detalles del programa

The tour begins with an early morning, spectacular view of the lunar landscape which is Cappadocia, from a hot-air balloon high up in the skies.



Discover some of the most memorable sights begins in a luxury, air-conditioned minivan complete with internet access and soft drink service. Starting with Goreme open-air museum, a must-see in the area, you will see rock-hewn churches adorned with biblical frescoes and dating back to the 7th-13th centuries followed by a panoramic view of Goreme. A local lunch is enjoyed at a luxury restaurant carved out of a cave and then the tour moves on to Uchisar where there are superb views from the elevated citadel and a great photo opportunity.



Kaymakli Underground city is the next stop and one of the most famous of the many underground cities to be found in Cappadocia. The houses in the nearby village are constructed around nearly one hundred tunnels belonging to this underground city and many of the tunnels are still used today as storage areas, stables and cellars. The floors open to visitors each contain space organized around ventilation shafts; this makes the design of each room or open space dependent on the availability of ventilation. Archaeologists think that this city could have inhabited up to 3,500 people. The region is well known for its’ handcrafts and before returning to the hotel, there is a visit to a carpet-weaving centre to admire the rich colours and expert craft of the varied carpets and rugs.
