Cappadocia

Sir Paul Lucas traveled to Göreme. In his book 1719, he said, in underground villages and rock carved homes that looked like chimneys, 20.000 people lived. Or did he say 200.000 people?
Today, some of these homes are turned into boutique hotels, meeting venues and restaurants, and others are left to the expert hands of the nature to be sculptured in harmony with everything else in the valley.

TRANSFERS AND WELCOMING:
From Kayseri Airport 45 min. or from Nevşehir Airport 30 min. the drive to the valley is a special welcoming with the landscape while enjoying local wine on the way.

CULTURAL PROGRAMS
The valley has over 100 underground cities occupied from the Hittite era to Early Christians and some until recently.
Hundreds of rock carved churches where some are enriched with frescoes including Tokalı and Dark Churches with breathtaking colors.
One notices many man made holes in the eroded landscape, designed for pigeons. The pigeon waste was used to enrich the volcanic soil of the wine yards. From the age of Christian monks until today, wine making was a local tradition in Cappadocia. It is great fun to go around the wine factories on a wine tasting afternoon.
Weaving carpets and making pottery from the clay of Kızılırmak River are other historical traditional handcrafts of the people of Cappadocia valley.

Curly surfaces of valleys of volcanic ashes, rocks in mushroom shape, dozens of different colors of the soil, it feels like having an event on the moon.
