The south of Cappadocia is completely different from the north, and this tour shows you why! The underground city was fascinating but quite crowded. The Ihlara Valley walk was the highlight - about 4km along the river with beautiful scenery and ancient cave churches. Lunch by the river was delicious!

This tour was the perfect complement to the Red Tour we did the day before. Derinkuyu Underground City is incredible - 8 levels deep with stables, living quarters, and even a church! The Selime Monastery looks like something from Star Wars. Our guide Mehmet shared so many interesting historical facts throughout the day.

The Green Tour covers a lot of ground in one day! The underground city was impressive but very tight spaces - not for the claustrophobic. Ihlara Valley was beautiful with its river and greenery. I would have loved more time at Selime Monastery. Be prepared for a long day with quite a bit of driving between sites.

The hike through Ihlara Valley was moderate and absolutely beautiful - green trees, the flowing river, and ancient cave churches. Selime Monastery was like something from another world. Highly recommended!
