A journey into the past in a hidden maze

Beneath Cappadocia lie vast underground cities where people fled from war and invasion thousands of years ago. One of them, the Özkonak Underground City, contains dozens of tunnels, rooms, warehouses, and wine cellars, and was designed to house up to 10,000 people. This is where Christians hid from persecution by the Roman Empire, and an elaborate defense system remains to protect against attacks. Explore hidden doors, ventilation systems, and secret passages carved into the rock, and experience the wisdom and survival skills of the ancients firsthand. Walk through the dark tunnels with your guide’s fascinating commentary and travel back in time thousands of years.

A peaceful landscape where legend and nature come together

One of the most beautiful natural attractions in Cappadocia, with its blue canyons and unique rock formations. The name of this place comes from the local residents who have kept pigeons since ancient times, and even now, small pigeon houses remain on the rocky cliffs. In addition to the famous fairy chimneys, you can also enjoy the panoramic view with the Uchisar Fortress in the background. You can take a leisurely walk along the easy-to-walk trails and spend time healing in the quiet nature with the fresh air. If you visit in the morning or at sunset, the soft sunlight will envelop the valley, creating an even more mysterious atmosphere.
