1Uchisar Castle
In this part, you will climb to the peak of Uçhisar Castle. This tall volcanic-rock outcrop is one of Cappadocia’s most prominent landmarks and is visible for miles around. Riddled with tunnels, it was used for centuries by villagers as a place of refuge when enemy armies overtook the surrounding plains.

2Cavusin Village
Çavuşin is one of the oldest settlements in Cappadocia, famous for its ancient rock houses and churches carved into the cliffs. The village offers a fascinating look into local history and daily life from centuries ago. From the viewpoint, visitors can see the remains of the old Greek village, winding narrow streets, and breathtaking views over the Rose and Red Valleys.

3Avanos
Enjoy a buffet-style lunch in Avanos, offering a wide range of Turkish food including mezes, salads, meat and vegetarian dishes and desserts. Still in Avanos, visit an authentic family-run pottery workshop located in an underground cave.

Watch a master demonstrate how to make a pot, and watch the the painters and glazers apply their delicate patterns. Have a go at the potter’s wheel yourself and make your own unique pot if you wish.
