Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon and Green Tour

Meskendir Valley is your first stop, and there you can expect a short hike through some truly breathtaking scenery. The valley, which is located close to Ortahisar, spans for around 440 meters and is home to the well-known Meskendir Church. In the interior, visitors can admire the huge cross etching on the chapel ceiling and the magnificent geometric red ornaments.

There are some fantastic rock-carved churches nestled among the stunning rock formations. The area's greatest charm lies in the web of trails that crisscross vineyards and gardens to link the various hamlets and towns. Behind Urgup is a secluded valley known as the Rose Valley.

Magnificent rock formations and underground chapels make the Rose Valley an essential stop on the Cappadocia Hot air balloon and Green Tour. Behind Urgup is a secluded valley. Small settlements are linked by a spider web of rails that wind through vineyards and gardens. Villagers toiling away in the neighborhood might even offer you grapes, apples, or apricots.

On a Cappadocia Hot air balloon and Green Tour you'll check out Cavusin Village, one of the region's oldest settlements, famous for its cave dwellings that wind through the rock like a maze of ruins. A large cave church dating back to the fifth century, the Church of John the Baptist may be found in this settlement.

The Christian subterranean city you explore is the largest and most well-known of the 36 such communities created by the persecuted faith. There is no way to do a proper tour of Cappadocia without stopping by these amazing underground cities. There are a total of eight floors, although only four are open to the public. These floors house an unique network of wine cellars, kitchens, and residential quarters.

You will take a break on the outskirts of Goreme to look out over Pigeon Valley, so named for the centuries-old pigeon houses carved into the cliff walls below. Once upon a time, pigeon excrement was widely employed as a high-quality fertilizer by farmers all across the area.

Uchisar, a troglodyte settlement deep within Cappadocia, is your last visit. The massive outcropping of rock in the middle of Uchisar previously served as a castle, hence the name. As the highest point in the region, it provides stunning panoramas over Erciyes Mountain and the surrounding area, including Cappadocia.

Natural weathering of the volcanic rock roughly 9 to 3 million years ago generated the enormous phallic structures of Love Valley. Some of the structures can reach heights of 40 meters! Cones, mushrooms, pinnacles, pillars, and "fairy tale chimneys" are just some of the odd geological formations that greet visitors to Love Valley.
