DAY 2 |
AVANOS |
A center of terra cotta work of art since 3000
BC, it is a town where you will be invited to visit
a traditional pottery workshop, which is possibly
set deep into the hillsides. The clay, which comes
from the Red River passing through the town, gives
life both to the land and to the local economy.

DAY 2 |
HORSEBACK RIDING |
Cappadocia is the ancient name of a large region
in the center of Anatolia and the name is thought
to have derived from the ancient Persian word tukha
or dukha, and to mean the Land of Beautiful Horses.
Riding the beautiful Cappadocian horses around the
unique environment would be so meaningful. Most
of the horses we use are valued for their endurance
and adaptation to the harsh climate of the region.
Even the inexperienced riders may handle our horses
easily.

|
DAY 2 |
UCHISAR ROCK-CASTLE |
Uchisar is a troglodyte town situated right in
the middle of Cappadocia. It is named after the
enormous piece of rock in the center of the town,
which was once used as a castle. This extraordinary
rock is the highest peak of the area with the view
of whole Cappadocia and Erciyes (Argeus) Mountain.

DAY 3 |
HOT AIR BALLOON TOUR |
At six in the morning, smoke is beginning to rise
from the village chimneys below you. The barking
of dogs, started by the balloon, attracts sleepy
villagers outside to wave enthusiastically. The
weird twisted landscape of corroded rock to which
you have partially become accustomed from the ground
level, becomes even more unearthly when viewed from
several hundred feet above. The deluxe hot air balloon
flight culminating in a champagne breakfast on landing.
In two words? Breathtaking and Unforgettable!

DAY 3 |
GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM |
Goreme was known, in the ancient times, as Korama.
The first references to it are in the early 7th
c Acts of St Hieron, a 3rd C. saint who was a native
of Matianoi, or the modern Maccan. Goreme is an
amphitheatre of ample portions surrounded by steep
cliffs leading to a pleasant, verdant valley, which
puzzles every single visitor, by the interesting
access to many of the caves. The place we refer
as the Goreme Open Air Museum is located in a small
part of the whole valley, and right next door to
the modern village of Goreme. It must have been
such a convenient place to dwell that Goreme acted
as one of the most important monastic settlements
in the early Christian ages.

chapels and refectories carved in nearly the same
century. Some of these churches painted in different
periods with different techniques. The Dark Church
has the best frescoes of Cappadocia, maybe Turkey
!!! The art is living on the walls of the Dark Church.
