Full Day - Goreme (Private)

After meeting at your hotel, we will drive to the Devrent Valley to view a series of various fairy chimneys : as we will be walking through this amazing valley we will discover rocks with caps, cones, mushroom li-keformed pillars and pointed rocks.  We will then head for the Pasabaglari (Monks’) valley to discover other fairy chimneys such as with multiple stems and caps unique to this area.  A chapel dedicated to Sat Simeon and a hermit’s shelter have been built into a three-headed fairy chimney.  In Avanos, we will not only enjoy lunch but also learn about the pottery, a craft dating back to the Hittite period : the read clay which is worked by local craftsmen comes from the residue of the Kizilirmak river which divides Avanos into two and is the longest river in Anatolia.  In the afternoon we will proceed to the open air museum of Goreme : we will visit churches, chapels, monasteries carved into the fairy chimneys between the 10th and 13th centuries.  They are all decorated with frescos representing religious scenes. To end our day, we will drive to the Uchisar cas-tle, the highest point of the region and to Esentepe which offers us a magnificent panorama.  Return to your hotel.
