Description
The incredible natural and historical beauty of Cappadocia may be seen around 500 kilometers distant from Alanya in Turkey. Join us on this two-day excursion as we go into the heart of Turkey and view some incredible beauty that has been created over thousands of years as a result of volcano eruptions and weather erosion. The extraordinary geological formations of Cappadocia are also the setting for the subterranean hiding places that were used by Christians seeking refuge from Roman persecution. You will get the opportunity to explore this incredible subterranean world and learn how people constructed underground churches, meeting spaces, and even wine cellars. You will want to book this 2-day trip as soon as possible if you are interested in having an experience that is abundant in historical sites and full of breathtaking natural settings.
We will pick you up from your hotel so that we can get started on our adventure into the heart of Turkey, which will take us roughly 500 kilometers. Our final destination will be Cappadocia. As we make our way through the countryside in our luxurious coaches, which are equipped with air conditioning and provide panoramic views, you can sit back, relax, and enjoy the scenery. Leave the noise and bustle of tourists behind and you will feel as if you have traveled back in time thousands of years as the landscape, which has been unspoiled for millennia, takes over your senses. During the journey, we are going to make a detour to the quaint village of Akseki so that we may have a leisurely breakfast there. (this is not accounted for in the pricing)
The region known as Cappadocia may be found in Eastern Anatolia, which is located in what is now the middle of Turkey. It is an area that is so rich in natural beauty and historical significance that one has to see it for themselves to believe it. It is especially well-known for its fairy chimneys, which are distinctive rock formations that have been formed with time as a result of volcanic activity as well as wind and rain. About sixty million years ago, the volcanic mountains of Erciyes, Hasandagi, and Gulludag erupted and started to build the distinctive features that have made this region renowned. These mountains are now known as the Erciyes Mountains. Wind, rain, and other natural occurrences have worked together throughout millions of years to create fairy chimneys. This is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity to get a glimpse of just how strong and inventive nature’s powers can be, as well as a scenery that is unlike any other.
Cappadocia Tour from Alanya
The first place that you will visit on your incredible journey is the Goreme Open Air Museum. Since 1985, UNESCO has recognized this location as a world-historic site. In this area, some churches have been hewn out of the surrounding rocks. You will hear tales of how the first Christians fled to this region to get away from the persecution carried out by the Romans and how the topography of the area assisted them in remaining hidden from the Roman troops for a considerable amount of time. In addition, we will have the opportunity to go to Cavusin, a region in which Greeks and Turks coexisted peacefully right up until 1924. Along the way, we will pass by an ancient settlement that had to be relocated in the 1950s owing to an increase in the number of falling boulders; this is another indication of the powerful forces that nature has. We will go to Pasabag, also known as Monk’s valley, which is well-known for the mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys that can be seen there. Right in front of us is where we will find some of the region’s most well-preserved fairy chimneys. Your tour guide will be able to point out the fascinating buildings and describe the process that led to their development for thousands of years.
Once we have arrived in Avanos, we will make a brief stop and take advantage of the lunch that is included in the cost of the excursion. Following lunch, we will get the chance to speak with some of the locals as they demonstrate some of the fascinating kick-wheel pottery methods they use. The production of this kind of pottery in this region dates back more than 4000 years and is a wonderful example of local expertise and workmanship. The first day of our trip comes to a close at around six clocks in the evening, at which time we will check into a pleasant three-star hotel for a night of relaxation before continuing our journey the following day.
Tour of Cappadocia for Two Days Departing from Alanya
The second day of the trip starts with an early breakfast served at the hotel. The journey to the Soganli valley will begin at 8:00 in the morning. This is one of the most remote and peaceful valleys in the region, making it an ideal place to get away from the hustle and bustle of daily life. You are going to want to bring your camera to take pictures of the spectacular surroundings and the enchanting atmosphere.
When we get to the valley, we will start our ascent to the top of the mountains with a rather simple climb. During this portion of our hike, we will make our way through several underground caverns that have rock-cut churches carved into them. Your guide will walk you through the process of how this was accomplished as well as describe what life was like for folks who lived in this area at that period. Our adventure will continue until we reach a nearby hamlet, at which point we will stop for a rest and have some lunch as well as some other beverages.
This incredible subterranean city, Saratli Kirkgoz, is where we will spend the day exploring. In all of Cappadocia, this is the location of the subterranean city that is the deepest, and it is also a UNESCO world heritage site. You will have the opportunity to completely investigate the secluded caverns and passageways that link the various rooms and chambers. You will have the opportunity to visualize for yourself what life was like for folks who used to call this place home, and you will be surprised by the power that both nature and the human spirit possess.
Our trip back to the hotel will be a relaxing one thanks to the completely air-conditioned bus we have reserved. We will make every effort to get you back to your accommodation in Alanya by around 6’o clock in the evening.
If you are interested in history and the natural world, you will not want to pass up this amazing chance to go to Cappadocia, which is considered by many to be one of the natural wonders of the world. This unspoiled slice of heaven, which can be found tucked away on a mountainside in the middle of Turkey, stands as a testament to the raw force and resilience of mother nature. There is no other place on earth where you can see the world-famous fairy chimneys that were created more than 60 million years ago by volcanic activity and the forces of nature. The caverns in the region were occupied by Christians who were escaping persecution, and it is here that you can see how the Christians hollowed out little subterranean towns into the rocks to protect themselves from being discovered. Our two-day, all-inclusive trip includes an overnight stay at a local hotel that has received three stars or higher.
