Stand on the Goreme Panorama and gasp as a panorama unlike any other unfolds before you. Erosion over thousands of years has shaped volcanic ash and tuff into a strange landscape of rock towers and flat plains that look like the moon. Ascend Uchisar Castle, the highest point in the region, and let your gaze sweep across Cappadocia. Peer into the rooms carved within the rock, some transformed into dovecotes by ingenious farmers.

Descend next into the Kaymakli Underground City, a labyrinthine marvel dug deep beneath the earth. Explore the network of tunnels, once a haven for entire communities, and imagine the life that thrived here. At the Goreme Open Air Museum, be amazed by the churches and rooms where monks expertly dug into soft volcanic rock. Each frescoed cave tells a story, a testament to the deep faith of those who built it.

Journey next to Pasabag, a whimsical landscape where towering pillars rise from a verdant vineyard. Some call it Monks Valley, others Pasha's Vineyard, but all agree on its captivating beauty. Continue to Pigeon Valley, where a whimsical scene awaits. Thousands of pigeon houses carved directly into the cliffs create a strange and oddly endearing landscape. Learn how these ingenious dwellings provided natural fertilizer for the land and a vital resource for the people.

In Avanos, a potter's haven, witness the ancient craft of transforming clay into functional works of art. Get your hands dirty and try throwing a pot on the wheel, a fun and rewarding experience. Finally, delve into Devrent Valley, also known as Imagination Valley. Here, the whimsical rock formations will spark your creativity. See a parade of camels, snakes, and dolphins sculpted by nature, each more unbelievable than the last.
