A full-day course from morning to night!
Göreme ➡️ Derinkuyu ➡️ Crater Lake ➡️ Ihlara Valley ➡️ Selime Monastery
---
⛏️ Derinkuyu Underground City
A massive underground city, 85 meters deep and eight stories high!
An anthill-like structure with a chapel, classroom, and warehouse...
Amazing the engineering prowess of pre-Christian people 😮
🌊 Narrigol Crater Lake
An oasis-like view in the desolate Cappadocia.
We rented a car, so we drove down and admired the lake from the lawn 🏞️
The tour group said they only saw it from above... This was truly healing ✨
🌿 Ihlara Valley
Lush forest + babbling stream + walking trail 🚶♀️
Soaking my feet and enjoying a beer was a truly blissful moment 🍻
The cave churches and murals on the cliffs add to the tranquility.
🏛️ Selime Monastery
Finally arrived late in the afternoon after the tour group had left!
The view, famous as a backdrop for Star Wars movies 🌌
The otherworldly atmosphere, complete with the sunset...
Today's highlight ✨

🌟 TIP
If you're renting a car, I highly recommend taking some time to relax at Crater Lake and Ihlara!
You can take your time and enjoy the sights the tour group misses 🙌
