Underground City & Valley Hiking Adventure
Your journey begins in the morning with a convenient departure from your hotel in Nevsehir. The adventure opens with a four-kilometer hike through the striking landscapes of the Red Valley, known for its unique colored rock shapes and hidden sanctuaries carved directly into the stone. Next, continue to the Rose Valley, where the terrain earned its name from the rose-colored hues shifting across the cliffs, housing several intriguing cave houses of worship. Following the valley walk, travel to the old Christian settlement of Cavusin to view traditional dwellings and explore St. John Church, featuring ancient wall paintings dating back to the fifth through eighth centuries. Afterward, head to the expansive Kaymakli Underground City. Carved beneath a natural rock elevation, this subterranean marvel originally spanned eight levels, of which four are accessible today, demonstrating the ingenious engineering used by thousands of residents during wartime. Conclude the daytime excursions at Ortahisar to admire the imposing rock castle structure and take in the magnificent vistas of the town. The day concludes with a comfortable return transfer back to your accommodation.

What Our Travellers Say
Real, verified reviews from travellers who explored Turkey with us.
It was important for us to have a guide who spoke Russian, and Ender was wonderful. He explained every detail at Dolmabahce Palace. The Princes Islands day trip was a beautiful break from the busy city.
Our guide Ender was incredibly knowledgeable about Turkish history. The hot-air balloon ride at sunrise in Cappadocia was the highlight of our trip. Everything was perfectly organized — from airport pick-up to the last d...
Ender was our Italian-speaking guide and we felt like family. He took us to local spots tourists never see. The hotel choice in Sultanahmet was perfect for walking everywhere.
10+ years later we still talk about our Cappadocia balloon ride and the Bosphorus sunset cruise. Some memories are timeless. Thank you Inca Tour!
