Itinerary
Cappadocia Green Tour (Southern Cappadocia Tour)
Your tour guide and driver will meet you at your hotel in Cappadocia between 9:30 and 9:45 am for a full-day Cappadocia Green Tour (also known as the Southern Cappadocia Tour).
During the tour, your guide will provide information about the region and details about each place you visit. They will also be happy to answer any questions you may have.
The first stop of the tour is at Esentepe Panoramic Viewpoint – the best place to photograph Göreme and its surroundings. Afterward, you will visit and explore an underground city, either Derinkuyu or Kaymakli. Following that, you will take a walk in the beautiful Ihlara Valley, covering about 3 or 4 km, visiting churches and points of interest along the way. Lunch will be served at Belisirma Village, at the end of your walk, where you can refresh your tired feet in the Melendiz River.
After lunch, you will see the spectacular fairy chimneys at Yaprakhisar before visiting Selime Cathedral Rock Monastery. Take the opportunity for a nap for an hour or so as you drive back towards Göreme, waking to take a look at Pigeon Valley and learning about the role of pigeons in the region. Just opposite the Pigeon Valley viewpoint, you can learn about Onyx and semi-precious stones being worked into jewelry and ornaments. If there is time, you may be lucky enough to try some of the famous Turkish delight and typical dried fruits from a local vendor.
You will return to your hotel at around 18:00 – 18:30 with happy memories from your day.

Truly wonderful experience. Our agent Ashley was very responsive throughout. The whole balloon crew were so professional and fun. Definitely the highlight of our Turkey trip.

Es el sitio que más barato vimos, volamos por 160€ por persona. Hacen lo mismo que todos, te recogen en el hotel, te dan el desayuno viendo montar los globos, vuelo de 60 minutos y luego te dan champán y un diploma.
Una experiencia inolvidable.

I booked an ATV tour online for 2 adults and assumed this meant we'd have 2 ATVS, which was not the case, we only had 1 reserved. Fortunately we were able to arrange a second ATV onsite.
The tour lasted 2 hours and we went through some fields, up to the rim of Love Valley and ended in a nice spot to catch the sunset. My partner put it succinctly when he said "ATVs are a cancer to this place" which is absolutely true. Cappadocia is completely overrun by tourists on ATVs (had I known this before, I would not have booked the tour) which is really unfortunate. The sunset spot was overcrowded with vendors and tourists taking selfies, all while inhaling the fumes of burning plastic and exhaust. The guys leading our tour were not friendly nor did they share any information about the region or areas we traveled through. They did however seem to enjoy showing off their ATV handling skills by riding around the rock formations at full blast, sometimes carrying young women along for a 'wild ride'. When we weren't trying to avoid serious injury by getting hit by an ATV guide, we were watching out for the jeep tours plowing full speed across the rock formations.
I'm sure many people enjoy these tours, but I wouldn't recommend them if you're interested in learning about the region and you care about how your tourism is impacting the places you visit.
