Discover the hidden gems of Cappadocia, including the Keslik Monastery, So?anl? Valley, Mustafapa?a, and Sobessos, on this in-depth exploratory tour tailored for those looking to delve into the region's rich history.
Mustafapa?a, Sobessos + So?anl? Valley Tour
Your adventure begins with a hotel pickup in Cappadocia between 9 am and 9:30 am, setting the stage for an exploration of some of the area’s lesser-known marvels.
The first destination is Mustafapa?a, an ancient town formerly known as Sinasos. This site is rooted in Orthodox heritage and has intriguing connections to the Turkish War of Independence. As you wander through this historical locale, you'll learn about its significance over the centuries.
Next, we will visit Sobessos, located near Sahinefendi. This Roman archaeological site was uncovered by treasure seekers in 2002 and features remnants of various urban structures, including baths, the agora, a basilica, and the bouleuterion.
After exploring Sobessos, we will pause for lunch at a nearby restaurant, giving you an hour to savor local flavors and recharge for the next leg of the journey. With renewed energy, we’ll venture into the stunning So?anl? Valley, renowned for its rock-cut churches showcasing diverse architectural styles. To fully immerse in this breathtaking scenery, we’ll take a short hike, venturing inside these ancient temples and appreciating their exquisite frescoes—a genuine marvel of history!
We'll also visit the Keslik Monastery, where intriguing frescoes can only be seen by torchlight. Our tour will then draw us to Avanos, a town celebrated for its traditional handicrafts. Here, you'll have the opportunity to try your hand at pottery in a local workshop.
Our day concludes with your return to the hotel in Cappadocia, expected between 4 pm and 4:30 pm, filled with memories of the region’s lesser-known treasures.
