*Balanced mix of natural wonders (rock formations, valleys), history (ancient dwellings, churches), village life (small towns, local living), rather than only the “tourist postcard” places.
*A good, friendly local guide who gives background, stories, context — that often makes a trip memorable rather than just “photo-stops.”
*A relaxed pace, not rushing — enough time to enjoy sunset/ sunrise views, wander around spots, take photos, sit and enjoy the landscape.

8Derinkuyu YeraltI Sehri
Underground cities are a unique feature of Cappadocia, they appeared due to the fact that the layer of soft tuff sometimes reaches a thickness of several tens of meters. It was easy enough for people to expand and deepen their buildings. Underground cities saved people from raids. In total, 36 underground cities have been discovered in Cappadocia. At first, these were more underground villages with a small number of rooms, but gradually, especially in the Byzantine period, they grew to the size of cities, accommodating up to thirty thousand people. The underground city of Derinkuyu, which translated from Turkish means "deep well", has eight underground floors and goes 55,5 meters deep. There are rooms for pets, warehouses, a dining room, a kitchen, wine cellars, a church and even a missionary school, a confessional and a font. The ventilation shafts of that time still function here, and the tunnels and halls are quite well lit.
