If you’re looking for a unique and immersive experience in Cappadocia, the Green Tour is the perfect choice. This full-day guided tour focuses on the region’s lush valleys, mysterious underground cities, and breathtaking natural formations in the southern part of Cappadocia.
Start your day with a scenic stop at Göreme Panorama, where you can enjoy a wide-angle view of fairy chimneys, valleys, and distant villages.
Then, head deep into the earth at Derinkuyu Underground City. This ancient multi-level city once sheltered thousands of people. Walking through its narrow tunnels and hidden chambers is both thrilling and awe-inspiring.
After resurfacing, your journey continues to the serene Ihlara Valley. This lush canyon is home to dozens of rock-cut churches, monasteries, and the peaceful Melendiz River. You’ll enjoy a moderate hike through the valley, surrounded by greenery and history.
For lunch, stop in Belisırma Village, where you’ll be served a traditional Turkish meal by the riverside — a perfect break to recharge and enjoy local hospitality.
Your next stop is the dramatic Selime Monastery. This is the largest rock-cut religious complex in Cappadocia. With its cathedral-sized church, kitchen, stables, and monk’s quarters, it offers a deep look into the region’s spiritual past.
Finally, visit the beautiful Pigeon Valley, known for its dovecotes carved into the soft volcanic rock. The valley also offers panoramic viewpoints that are perfect for sunset photos.
