A cinematic journey across the landscape.
Morning (10:00): Ride to the Heart of the Valleys
Starting at the Goreme office, we begin with a gentle spin down through the village and head into the green and captivating Zemi Valley. We take a short detour to visit the impressive El Nazar Church, then pass through the cave dwellings of Swords Valley and climb into Rose Valley to visit the remarkable Church of Columns.
Lunch (13:00): Cavusin & Seyyah Han
We reach the historical village of Cavusin and stop for a leisurely 4-course meal at a highly rated restaurant. After lunch, we visit the 6th Century Church of St. John the Baptist, one of the largest cave churches in Cappadocia.
Afternoon (14:30 - 16:00): Love Valley & Goreme Panoramic
We cross the valley plain to the entrance of Love Valley to marvel at the incredibly phallic "fairy chimneys".
