Cappadocia - Turkey

You will picked up from your hotel at around 09:00 AM and start your full day Cappadocia tour. Your first stop will be the Mustafapasa (Sinasos) Old Greek Village which housed both Turkish and Greek people until the population exchange in 1924. You will see some old Greek houses, an Ottoman madrasah and an 18th century church. Then a short drive will take you to Cemil Village which is a very small and typical Turkish village where you will have chance to see the real life of the Cappadocians. Next is the famous Keslik Monastery that hides it’s frescoes behind a very thin smoke layer which we can only see by torch light. After a very local lunch you will visit the Soganli Valley which is one of the most secluded and tranquil valleys in Cappadocia. You will hike along one side of the valley, visiting some cave churches and return along the other side of the valley to the old village. Continue with Taskinpasa Village which is famous for it's Medrese (Islamic High School) and many other buildings. You will end the day with a visit to the Sobessos Excavation Site where you will see the Roman bath, tombs, temple and beautiful mosaics already unearthed.
