Cappadocia Green Tour – Ihlara Valley, Underground City & Narlıgöl Crater Lake

 

The Cappadocia Green Tour is one of the most popular full-day tours in Cappadocia, designed for travelers who want to explore the natural landscapes, hidden valleys and historical underground cities of the region in one day. This guided tour starts with hotel pick-up in Göreme, Uçhisar, Avanos and surrounding Cappadocia areas and continues with a panoramic photo stop at Göreme Esentepe Viewpoint, offering breathtaking views over the fairy chimneys and volcanic formations.

 

During the tour, guests visit a traditional Onyx Stone Art & Craft Center to learn about local Anatolian handicrafts, followed by a scenic stop at Pigeon Valley, famous for its rock-carved pigeon houses and picturesque walking paths. One of the highlights of the Cappadocia Green Tour is the visit to a fascinating underground city, where early Christian communities once lived and sheltered.

Lunch is served at a local restaurant near the valley, offering authentic Turkish cuisine. After lunch, the tour stops at the Ihlara Valley Viewpoint Terrace for a panoramic view of the canyon without any walking required.

 

The final highlight of the Green Tour is Narlıgöl (Nar Crater Lake), a striking volcanic crater lake located in the southern part of Cappadocia. The tour ends with a comfortable return transfer to your hotel.

 

The Cappadocia Green Tour is ideal for travelers looking for a well-balanced combination of nature, history and local culture, making it one of the best day tours to discover the hidden side of Cappadocia.
