Overview

This half day tour in the region of Cappadocia includes a visit to one of the many underground cities which can be found in the region. These cities were built as long ago as Roman times, the soft volcanic rock lending itself to the easy carving out of caves and dwellings. They were then extended and became fully formed in the Byzantine period when the local inhabitants, largely Christian, used them to hide from invading armies. Built with many levels, some of them housed up to 20,000 people and had sophisticated ventilation as well as amenities such as wine and oil presses, stables, refrectories and chapels.

The tour ends with a visit to Pigeon Valley, named after the hundreds of pigeon houses carved out of the rock in the cliffs. Pigeons were used over the centuries as messengers and their droppings as fertiliser, but these days there are very few pigeons left but the valley is a prominent landmark in the region and offers some good photo opportunities.
