Our first stop in Cappadocia will be the 14 km long Ihlara Valley, formed by the Melendiz River, which also contains pigeon lofts and rock churches (In case of road work, the Ihlara Valley tour will be conducted from Belisirma Village or Selime side). Our second stop will be the Derinkuyu Underground City, an engineering marvel where thousands of people fleeing enemy raids could live for months (Kaymakli Underground City or Ozkonak Underground City). You will not be able to hide your admiration while visiting this interesting city that people built underground. Immediately after the underground city, we head towards Uchisar. We take photos of Pigeon Valley and Uchisar Castle and take a short break at a shop where you can find pumpkin seeds unique to the region and other local natural products. After our shopping break, we go to Avanos, famous for its pottery. We see the Kizilirmak River in Avanos and get information about the pottery made from the mud of the Kizilirmak. Afterwards, we take a photo break at Pasabag (Monks Valley), where you will see the most beautiful examples of multi-headed fairy chimneys. After walking and taking photos among the fairy chimneys in Pasabag, we visit Develi Valley (Dervent Valley), which contains interesting fairy chimney formations and takes its name from the camel-shaped fairy chimney. After a panoramic tour in Urgup, we see Asmali Konak from the outside and have the opportunity to taste wine cellars and the delicious wines of Cappadocia. At the end of the day, we see the Three Beauties Fairy Chimneys, which are the symbol of Cappadocia and the capped fairy chimneys. At the end of our trips, we check into our hotel.

CLIMATE

Since the region is surrounded by high mountains, the humid temperate air of the seas cannot penetrate the region. For this reason, a continental climate prevails in the region, with hot and dry summers and cold and snowy winters. In the region, the degree of continentality increases as one moves towards the east due to the increase in altitude, and winter temperatures reach very low values. Central Anatolia is the region of our country that receives the least rainfall. The average rainfall is around 400 mm. The region receives the most rainfall in the spring months as showers. The driest season is summer. The fact that summers are dry and the summer drought starts early has a negative effect on vegetable-type plants. The least rainy place in the region and our country is the surroundings of Lake Tuz (320 mm). The lack of rainfall is due to the region being closed to the sea effect. The moist air mass coming from the sea leaves its moisture as precipitation on the slopes of the mountains facing the sea. It is already dry when it blows towards the Central Anatolia Region.
