Event Description

As we embark on our exploration of Kapadokya, we are greeted by the enchanting beauty of Göreme town, where ancient cave dwellings and rock-cut churches offer glimpses into the region's rich history. Continuing our journey, we venture into a ceramics workshop, where skilled artisans craft intricate pottery using traditional techniques passed down through generations. Our next stop is the imposing Uchisar Castle, perched atop a towering rock formation, providing panoramic views of the surrounding landscape, and we get to see what a cave house looks like from the inside. Moving on, we immerse ourselves in the cultural heritage of Kapadokya at the Paşabağ and Zelve Open Air Museums, where ancient cave dwellings and rock formations adorned with fascinating frescoes transport us back in time. Finally, our day culminates in a mesmerizing experience as we watch the colourful array of hot air balloons fill the sky above Kapadokya. We witness these graceful giants gracefully soaring above the otherworldly landscape, their vibrant hues painting the sky as the sun sets in a blaze of colors, creating memories that will last a lifetime.
