• Goreme Panorama - The tour begins with a panoramic view of Goreme, where visitors receive insights into the history and formation of Cappadocia tours while observing the fairy chimneys. After the information session, there is free time for photography.
• Pigeon Valley - Pigeon Valley is one of Cappadocia’s most picturesque and culturally significant valleys, extending between the towns of Göreme and Uçhisar. The valley is named after the numerous ancient pigeon houses, or dovecotes, carved into the cliffs by locals over centuries. These dovecotes were traditionally used to collect pigeon droppings, which served as a natural fertilizer for the region’s vineyards and farmlands. Today, visitors can hike the trails of Pigeon Valley to admire the unique rock formations, stunning vistas, and the colorful pigeons that still frequent the area. The valley is an ideal spot for photography, offering breathtaking views of Uçhisar Castle and Cappadocia’s iconic fairy chimneys.
• Onyx - Uçhisar, a charming town in Cappadocia, is renowned for its distinctive onyx shops, where visitors can explore the local art of stone carving. Onyx, a natural stone in colors ranging from deep green to creamy white, is highly prized in the region for its beauty and durability. In these shops, artisans expertly shape the stone into jewelry, decorative items, and intricate sculptures, often demonstrating their craftsmanship for visitors. Many onyx shops in Uçhisar offer custom pieces, allowing tourists to select specific designs or have items engraved. Shopping for onyx in Uçhisar provides the opportunity to own a piece of Cappadocian artistry while gaining insight into local traditions and skilled handiwork.
• Narligol Krater Golu - Narlıgöl, also known as Nar Lake, is a volcanic crater lake situated approximately 45 kilometers from Aksaray province. The lake is located at an altitude of 1,363 meters, covers an area of 0.7 square kilometers, and has a depth of 21 meters. The water of the lake is brackish due to the presence of thermal facilities on the surrounding hills.
• Ihlara Valley - Cappadocia’s Ihlara Canyon is 52 km away from the Underground City. Approximately 45 minutes later, visitors will arrive at the entrance of Ihlara Valley. Ihlara Valley was formed by the volcanic activity of Mt. Hasan, adjacent to Ihlara Valley. Subsequently, the Melendiz River eroded the valley for millions of years, causing the layers to crack and collapse.

Visitors will start with soup and salad, followed by a choice of main dishes from the list. Lunch will conclude with seasonal fruits.

• Belisirma - Belisırma is a delightful village located along the Melendiz River in the Ihlara Valley, Cappadocia, Turkey. Known for its riverside restaurants, it offers a tranquil lunch experience surrounded by natural beauty and historical rock formations. Visitors can enjoy traditional Turkish dishes like gözleme (savory flatbread), kebabs, and mezes, often served on cozy wooden platforms above the water. The sound of flowing water and the sight of ducks swimming nearby enhance the peaceful ambiance. Dining in Belisırma combines Cappadocia’s rich culinary flavors with a unique, picturesque setting ideal for relaxation.
• Yaprakhisar Koyu - After lunch, the guide will take visitors to a unique place, Yaprakhisar, where they will see the finest examples of conical fairy chimneys. The area is reminiscent of a Star Wars film set.
• Derinkuyu Underground City - Derinkuyu, part of the Cappadocia green tour, is reached after a 40-minute drive, leading to the Underground City.

The Green Tour in Cappadocia, while showcasing essential attractions, may sometimes appear as a standard itinerary lacking flexibility and depth for seasoned travelers. This tour usually includes visits to places like the Ihlara Valley and Derinkuyu Underground City, covering extensive distances and popular sites. For those seeking a more personalized or detailed experience, the Green Tour might seem hurried and heavily guided, offering limited opportunities for independent exploration or quiet reflection in these culturally rich areas.

Moreover, since the Green Tour is widely available through various agencies, it can feel crowded and repetitive, with large groups visiting the same sites simultaneously. The emphasis on major tourist attractions can sometimes overshadow lesser-known, equally breathtaking areas of Cappadocia that provide more intimate and unique experiences.
