TOUR B – CAPPADOCIA TOUR PROGRAM

 

22 December 2000 – Friday

Friday afternoon,  we are going to pick up you from your Hotel  and we are heading in route to Cappadocia via picturesque Salt Lake which is the second biggest in Turkey. Dinner will be served at your hotel.

 23 December 2000 – Saturday

After breakfast early departure from the Hotel for  touring the citadel of Uchisar to see the enchanting lunar landscape of the region : ‘moon-like’ topography of Cappadocia. We will enjoy nature where the wind and the weather have eroded the soft volcanic rock, leaving pillars, cones and “Fair Chimneys”. Then we are going to see Goreme, with its rock chapels hollowed out by early Christians. These rock chapels were used by early Christians as secret dwellings for the purpose of protecting themselves from first by their Roman and later by their Byzantine persecutors. These secret dwellings decorated with vivid frescoes, which have withstood the corrosive effects of the time dating from the 6th to the 10th century, would be an unforgettable experience. We will also visit pottery – making village Avanos and see how pots and tiles are made out of white and red clays on a flying wheel. We will visit the underground city of Kaymakli where 1400 years ago people carved the earth down and created huge complexes in 50 meters deep to defend themselves. Thousand of early Christians lived here and concealed from persecutors in eight-story complexes of subterranean dwellings. When we finished our program in the late afternoon, we are going to drive back to Ankara and leave you back to your Hotel.
