The Ihlara Valley is located approximately 90 kilometers from the Cappadocia region. Our first stop is the underground city of Kaymakli or Derenkuyu (depending on the queue, the distance between the cities is 4 km). Kaymakli and Derenkuyu are among the largest and most important underground cities in the regions. The history dates back to about 3000 BC, starting with the Hittites and continuing to host local populations throughout the Roman and Byzantine periods.
After our exploration of the underground city of Kaymakli (or Derinkuyu), we head to the Ihlara Valley. Ihlara Valley is the deepest and largest canyon in the Cappadocia region. The hiking trail into the middle of the valley offers an unforgettable walking experience thanks to nature of incredible beauty and interesting history. During the walk we will visit settlements, monasteries and rock churches of early Christians. Then we break for lunch at a restaurant near the Melendiz River in the village of Belisirma.
