Tipping Info
If you are happy with the services provided by your local guides and drivers a tip - though not compulsory - is appropriate. While it may not be customary to you, it is of great significance to the people who will take care of you during your travels, inspires excellent service, and is an entrenched feature of the tourism industry across many Intrepid Urban Adventures destinations. Please consider this when budgeting for your extra expenses on this tour
Itinerary
After we pick up you up from your hotel we ahead to Kaymaklı Underground City, which is one of the most fascinating underground cities of Cappadocia. Then drive to the Soganlı Valley, an Open Air Park in a wild natural setting near a typical Cappadocian village with its traditional lifestyle and variety of cave churches and monasteries. The Soganli Village is where the famous handmade dolls of Cappadocia are produced. Visit a small market where local women sell their dolls and other hand made crafts.
After having a local lunch in the village continue to Keşlik Cave Monastery, an early christian cave complex located in the garden of a local villager. The owner of the garden guides visitors to show them the monastery and offers tea and locally produced fruits. The Medrese (Theological School) originating from Seljuk Turks in Taşkinpasa, is now a library and has stood witness over a 14th century Turkish settlement in the town.As part of this tour, guests will visit a local handicraft centre where they have the opportunity to see local woman weaving carpets utilising traditional methods unqiue to the area. As a government-sponsored centre, the locals are able to learn and practice an art form that is slowly disappearing thanks to modern development. Guests are encouraged to interact with the local woman and experience the true Cappadocian hospitality. Our tour finishes with a visit to Sinasos, an old Greek town with its spectacular old Greek houses, fine examples of late Greek settlements and architecture.
