| First,
we descend into the underground city of Kaymakli and
hide ourselves from the Roman raids, then hike in Ihlara
Valley where plenty of houses and churches were carved
on the walls. Witnessing the village life on Anatolian
steppes and beauty of nature on the silk–road
will amaze you. You’ll feel like a Cappadocian
living in 2nd century AD.
ITINERARY
The tour begins with a descent towards
the centre of the earth, with a trip to the underground
city of Kaymakli, one of the largest and deepest of
Cappadocia’s many such settlements. From here
we drive to Ihlara canyon, walking through the canyon
via the Steps of Anatolia to Belisirma village, the
ancient Peristrema. Set by the Melendiz River this is
known as the “Valley of the Sky”. Churches
carved from the rocks form a gallery of early paintings
that are remarkable for their accuracy. We lunch in
Belisirma at a local restaurant by the river. On the
way to the Caravanserai of Agzikarahan, we visit the
beautiful village of Selime. Agzikarahan is a very fine
example of the Turkish Seljuk art, built in the early
13th century on the legendary Silk Road, for the accommodation
of the traders and their camels.
