Stop At: Ihlara Valley, Guzelyurt 68500 Turkiye

The valley was probably first inhabited in the 4th century AD, initially by hermits and priests as a place of solitude; but the natural defences of the gorge attracted new converts to Christianity, some fleeing persecution by the Romans



Duration: 2 hours

Stop At: Belisırma, 68502 Belisırma/Güzelyurt/Aksaray, Türkiye

Belisirma is a gifted village thanks to its location. The landscape is more forgiving around Belisirma. As a result, Cappadocians built the village from the top to the bottom of the Ihlara Valley. That creates a scene full of cute little stone houses scattered to the slopes of Ihlara Valley. Even if the houses look very tiny from a distance, each house reaches a big cave system in thunder ground carved into the natural volcanic tuff. The houses are reaching the bottom of the valley where you can find many restaurants established right by the water.



Duration: 1 hour

Stop At: Selime Monastery, Guzelyurt Turkiye

Selime monastery is the biggest religious building in Cappadocia with a cathedral-size church. Inside the cathedral there are two rows of rock columns. These columns divide the cathedral into three sections. The size of the church is astonishing. The columns and arches of the church, cut directly from the tuff within the Selime monastery, still bear the tell-tale markings of various generations that once occupied it. Rudimentary icons from the early days can be seen more clearly, but detailed frescoes, painted later, are barely visible under the years of soot that covers the surfaces from when the Turks used the room for cooking.



Duration: 1 hour

Lunch Break at Belisirma Village ( Extra )

We had a blast on this trip. We had one day in Cappadocia but managed to see all of the highlights on this trip. We had wanted a mix of Green Tour and Red Tour and only had one full day to see everything. Moira Travel even booked us a balloon trip last minute so we could experience the wonders of the Cappadocia from above. Communication was excellent and helped us have a wonderful day. We are so glad we visited.

We did the tour last Saturday with Çagatay and we liked it. It's true that I would have maybe stayed a bit longer in some of the places, but overall we saw many things!
