Kaymakli Underground City is a unique and fascinating historical site that dates back to the Hittite era. The underground city was used as a refuge by early Christians to escape persecution and attacks from invading armies. The city is made up of several levels and chambers, including living spaces, kitchens, and wineries, as well as a church and a ventilation system that allowed inhabitants to survive for long periods underground.
After exploring Kaymakli Underground City, the tour typically continues to the ancient Roman city of Sobesos. Sobesos was a prosperous city in Roman times and boasts well-preserved ruins, including a large bath complex, a theater, and a basilica.
After your visit to Sobesos, you'll be driven back to your hotel in Urgup or Goreme, with drop-off provided as part of the tour. They are also a great way to avoid crowds and experience these unique historical sites at your own pace.
