Start your tour with a hotel pickup from central Istanbul and travel to the Airport in time for your flight. Board the plane on your own, and relax on the 1.5-hour flight southeast to Kayseri, a city deep in mainland Turkey. On arrival, meet your guide who will take you to your transfer and travel a little further into Cappadocia to see its wondrous sights. Your first stop is Göreme Open-Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, home to the fairy chimneys and a collection of rocky monuments that attest to Byzantine days in Cappadocia.

Explore with your guide, and then continue to the small town of Avanos, which is famous for its pottery production.

After a quick look around the pretty town, enjoy a stop nearby in Pasabag (Monk’s Valley), and take a walk through the area’s cone-like rocks to see where monks and hermits once lived in isolated seclusion.

Continue travelling through Dervent Valley, where the fairy chimneys pepper the landscape and then travel back to your hotel in Cappadocia in time for dinner.
