Cappadocia Surroundings

First we will drive to Ihlara Valley, created from the ashes of the volcanic Mt. Hasan. After hiking through the valley, whose water source is the beautiful Melendiz River, proceed to Selime to explore the hollowed-out citadel and churches where fairy chimneys rest on the steep hillside. Stop at Yaprakhisar village to take photos. In the afternoon, visit the Derinkuyu Underground Village where dwellings with stables, cellars, storage rooms, refectories, churches and wineries were used as refuges for Christian communities. Return to your hotel in the evening.
