Explore Cappadocia's sprawling and otherworldly landscapes by foot and drop by different historical locations as well. Kick off your tour with a convenient pick up service from your hotel, then it's off to the Derinkuyu Underground City, the biggest one in all of Turkey and the deepest found in Cappadocia. This natural wonder is carved 18 storeys deep into the ground and still stable for centuries and centuries. Then, head to Ihlara Valley, a popular area to hike around, where you can see Byzantine cave churches and other peculiar formations. The hike is about four kilometers long and will be beside the Melendiz River. Once you've exhausted yourself from the trek, have a hearty lunch at a charming restaurant overlooking the Melendiz River, a good spot to simply sightsee while getting some sustenance. After that, head to the Selime Monastery, the largest religious structure in Cappadocia, which has chambers and rooms that are connected by tunnels or winding passageways.
