The classic full-day Green Tour covers the southern half of Cappadocia and includes the region's two most important attractions: Derinkuyu Underground City and Ihlara Valley. Travelling in a small comfortable minibus with a licensed English-speaking guide, you descend into one of the largest underground cities in the world, hike a scenic 4 km section of Ihlara Valley along the Melendiz River, lunch at a riverside restaurant, and visit Selime Monastery — the rock-cut complex made famous by Star Wars location scouts. Full hotel pickup and drop-off, museum entrance fees, and lunch all included.

Before the tour I had taken water as a precaution, but luckily they helped us on the bus and during the visit. Our group was divided between the playful and the serious — it was a different experience. I recommend spending more time in Vale das Pombas.

It was a very cool tour. The guide was great, very friendly and helpful. It taught us a lot about the historical place and gave us plenty of time to explore and take pictures. The view of the Ihlara Valley was worth it and the view from Selime Monastery was also nice. Lunch by the Ihlala River was a special experience. Hotel pick-up and drop-off is also provided by comfortable vehicle. Highly recommended! It was satisfactory for the price.

A fantastic tour with a fantastic guide. I knew practically everything. He gave information on the way to the valleys and then repeated it on site. Derinkuyu is simply amazing! Hiking in the Ihlara Valley is also great. For safety reasons, we do not put our feet in the water. In Vale das Pombas we stopped for photographs right after the historical explanations. Thanks to the driver and team for an excellent experience! I recommend.
