WHAT'S INCLUDED

WHAT TO EXPECT

1.
First place in the tour is Panoramic view of Goreme. You get information about history, formation of Cappadocia while watching the fairy chimneys. Following the information, free time for photograph.
2.
After driving about 40 minutes, arrival to Underground City. This underground city was firstly used by the local people as a natural deep freeze, later by the late Romans as a shelter against potential Arabian invasions. With the clear explanations of your guide you will spend almost 1 hour here.
3.
Ihlara Canyon is 52 km. away from Underground City.Approximately 45 minutes later, you will be in the entrance of Ihlara Valley.Ihlara Valley was formed by the volcanic actions of Mt. Hasan, next to Ihlara Valley. Afterwards, Melendiz River eroded the valley for millions of years besides the layers cracked and fell down. Eventually, 80 meter- deep canyon was composed. Whole Valley is 14 km. length. In the past, generally Christians lived in the several parts of the Valley; also they carved churches and painted them. You will hike about 3,5 km.Hiking will last 1hour 15m.Then you will arrive to Restaurant for Lunch
4.
1 hour for the lunch in the valley, next to the River. You will start with the soup and salad, later you will able choose one of the main dishes from the list. Lunch will be over with season fruits.
5.
Our tour will go on with another movie- set-like place, Selime Monastery. At first look, the monastery looks like a castle, but shelters, churches, chapels, bedrooms, storages and big cathedral proves us its being a monastery. You get information about the monastic life in Cappadocia.
6.
Climbing to Selime monastery will exhaust you, probably. But till you arrive to Pigeon Valley, you will have about 1 hour to rest. Also, our guide will mention about some traditions, cultures and stories about Anatolia on the way. Upon arrival to Pigeon Valley, pigeons will meet you on the top of the valley. Pigeons have always been important for Cappadocian people. Their eggs and droppings were used for different purposes. For this reason, local people carved houses for them to the slopes of valley. You will see the reason why people call them “houses”, when you see them.
7.

Un tour veramente incantevole. Effettivamente ha superato le ns. aspettative. Un grazie particolare alla guida, Emre, una persona super preparata con una grande capacità di rendere viva la storia. Abbiamo fatto anche a Red Tour, comunque preferiamo la Green Tour.

Excellent guide, great value for money. Enjoyed getting to see multiple parts of Cappadocia on the green tour!
We loved every part, including the underground city, a beautiful hike, a wonderful lunch along the stream that was included in the price, and seeing ancient Byzantine churches as well!

Tour was well-paced and our guide Ali was informative, knowledgeable, interesting and funny. He helped us take photos and answered all our questions. He also helpfully pointed out toilet breaks, and he was accommodating with our last-minute request for a different drop off location.

We would have enjoyed stronger aircon in the bus as it was quite suffocating in the heat, and could have done without the stop at the jewellery store.

Overall highly recommend!

Every second shop sells these tours. Every second tourist takes them. Two problems: each take a day and both waste your time with visits to shops for sweets, carpets, ‘gemstones’ and pottery (‘ special’prices are raised by commissions to tour companies). A better option is to gather 2-4 people and take a taxi and driver for One day to the few places of real interest eg an underground city and Uksidar castle. Take walks to either Rose or Love Valley on the second day.

This tour is a must do. While there is a lot of driving involved and solid walking, each site is worth the trip. The underground city is amazing ( beware if you have bad knees or are claustrophobic) and the ilhara Valley a total enchantment. Lunch next to the river was delightful. Selime monastery is fantastic but wear the right shoes. The climb is steep! Thank you to Stoneland travel for a great day out:)

Highly recommend this tour. We generally prefer to do things independently but I’m glad we booked the green tour with Stoneland. We covered so much ground and there was a lot of variety. We could not easily have done his ourselves. Our guide was lovely and we learned a lot. The pace was perfect, at each site it was never too long or too rushed.
