Your detailed itinerary
Day 1 – Arrival in Kayseri / Cappadocia
Upon arrival at Kayseri airport, transfer to the hotel in Cappadocia.
• Dinner and overnight stay at the hotel in Cappadocia.
Day 2 – Cappadocia / Konya
After breakfast, we will set off to explore the famous valleys of Cappadocia. This unique region is known worldwide for its exceptional natural rock formations. Many years ago, volcanic eruptions caused lava flows that solidified into tuff rocks. Erosion then sculpted them into spectacular formations known as "fairy chimneys". But it's not just the landscapes that make this place special: the Hittites carved these soft rocks to create houses, stables, shops, churches, and hospitals. Later, early Christians carved caves and decorated the walls of rock chapels with frescoes depicting biblical scenes. Some of these frescoes, still remarkably well-preserved, testify to the talent and religious fervour of their creators.
In the Cappadocia region, we will visit the Göreme Open-Air Museum, the Uçhisar Valley (panoramic view), Avanos, and Ürgüp (the "Three Beauties"), where we will have the opportunity to observe and purchase pottery made using the traditional foot-wheel method.
In the afternoon, departure for Konya (about 3 hours drive). Upon arrival, attend the Şeb-i Arus Ceremony commemorating the spiritual union of Mevlana Jalaluddin Rumi with the divine. You will experience the mystical and enchanting atmosphere of the Whirling Dervishes.
