CAPPADOCIA RED TOUR
Itinerary:
- Pick up from your hotel around 09.30-09.50 am from Cappadocia hotels
- The first stop is at Uçhisar Castle, the highest rock formation in the Cappadocia. The guide will explain just how this amazing landscape came into existence.
- At Zelve Open Air museum The Zelve Monastery is a Byzantine– monastery that was carved into the rock in pre-iconoclastic times. It is part of the Zelve Open Air Museum, located between Ürgüp and Avanos,
- Enjoy a buffet-style lunch in Avanos, offering a wide range of Cappadocia food including mezes, salads, meat and vegetarian dishes and deserts.
- Still in Avanos, visit an authentic family-run pottery workshop located in an underground cave. Clay from the Kızılırmak (Red) River was first used in pottery production by the Hitites prior to 1700BC and continues as an art form today. Watch a master demonstrate how to make a pot, and watch the the painters and glazers apply their delicate patterns.
