Options de l'excursion
Itinéraire
La première étape de la visite est la vue panoramique sur Göreme. Vous découvrirez l'histoire et la formation de la Cappadoce tout en admirant les cheminées de fées. Après la présentation, vous aurez du temps libre pour prendre des photos.
Après environ 40 minutes de route, arrivée à la Cité souterraine. Cette ville souterraine a d'abord été utilisée par les habitants comme chambre froide naturelle, puis, à l'époque romaine tardive, comme refuge contre d'éventuelles invasions arabes. Grâce aux explications claires de votre guide, vous passerez près d'une heure ici.
Le canyon d'Ihlara se trouve à 52 km de la Cité souterraine. Environ 45 minutes plus tard, vous arriverez à l'entrée de la vallée d'Ihlara. La vallée d'Ihlara a été façonnée par l'activité volcanique du mont Hasan, situé à proximité. Par la suite, la rivière Melendiz a érodé la vallée pendant des millions d'années, tandis que les couches se fissuraient et s'effondraient. Finalement, un canyon de 80 mètres de profondeur s'est formé. La vallée s'étend sur 14 km. Autrefois, les chrétiens vivaient généralement dans différentes parties de la vallée ; ils y ont également construit des églises et les ont décorées de peintures. Vous marcherez environ 3,5 km. La randonnée durera 1 heure et 15 minutes. Vous arriverez ensuite au restaurant pour le déjeuner.
Une heure pour le déjeuner dans la ville d'Ihlara. Vous commencerez par la soupe et la salade, puis vous pourrez choisir l'un des plats principaux proposés. Le déjeuner se terminera par des fruits de saison.
Notre visite se poursuivra avec un autre lieu qui ressemble à un décor de cinéma : le monastère de Selime. À première vue, le monastère ressemble à un château, mais les logements, les églises, les chapelles, les chambres, les entrepôts et la grande cathédrale nous prouvent qu'il s'agit bien d'un monastère. Vous découvrirez des informations sur la vie monastique en Cappadoce.
L'ascension jusqu'au monastère de Selime va sans doute vous épuiser. Mais avant d'arriver à Pigeon Valley, vous aurez environ une heure pour vous reposer. De plus, notre guide vous parlera en chemin de certaines traditions, de la culture et d'histoires liées à l'Anatolie. À votre arrivée à Pigeon Valley, des pigeons vous attendront au sommet de la vallée. Les pigeons ont toujours revêtu une grande importance pour les habitants de la Cappadoce. Leurs œufs et leurs excréments étaient utilisés à diverses fins. C'est pour cette raison que les habitants leur ont creusé des maisons à flanc de colline. Vous comprendrez pourquoi on les appelle des « maisons » dès que vous les verrez.

This was a nice complement to the Red tour we booked the day before. Liked this one as it included the monastery and underground city. We walked a lot up and down so be prepared, and some of the passages were very narrow and small. We were up for the challenge and our guide was very accommodating if others were not. The operators should change the lunch description as the restaurant is no longer by their river; learned it closed during Covid but opened in a different location. Was still outside, simple but good.
This tour was very well run to the point that our guide, Sadat, altered the route as rain was scheduled for the afternoon - he was right to do this! Very informative and Sadat’s knowledge of the history was excellent.
We booked last minute in the by cappadocia office. We said we specifically wanted to walk along Ilharia river which we had heard other green tours did. Once paid and on the bus the guide announced she was not walking along the ilharia River. We were then trapped on the bus on a hot day having brief visits at view points and way too much time at a jewelery shop, turkish delight shop and what can only be described as a cheap canteen for lunch, We asked for a refund and got sent packing. We feel conned out of 47 euros. Check the detail itinerary before booking.
Hi Dear, Thank you for your review. However, we believe there has been a misunderstanding, as we are Stoneland Travel and we do not have a sales office in Cappadocia — only an operations office. We do not make direct street or walk-in sales. In addition, our Green Tour always includes walking in Ihlara Valley. In fact, our daily entrance records for the Ihlara Valley museum ticket platform are officially registered. We also do not stop at jewellery shops or dried fruit/turkish delight shopping stores during our tours. Furthermore, we have no record of refusing or discussing a €47 refund request matching your description. For these reasons, it is very likely that you joined the tour with a different tour operator and accidentally posted the review on our page. We kindly ask you to check which agency you booked with and leave your review on the correct company page. Thank you for your understanding.
The various visits were outstanding. It's a pity that two stops were part of the route where candies and onyx jewelry were offered. However, the guide Mehmet was the best I have experienced in recent years, knowledgeable and super friendly. The underground city tour and the valley hike (about 6 km) were the absolute highlights. But the other viewpoints were also very beautiful. The trip lasted from 10:00 AM to 6:30 PM, but it felt much shorter. The bus was comfortable, we received a bottle of water, and the driver had a perfect driving style. Absolutely recommendable tour!!
Thank you so much for your detailed and thoughtful review! We’re delighted to hear that you had such a memorable experience and that Mehmet made such a positive impression with his knowledge, professionalism, and warm personality. We’ll be sure to pass along your kind words to him—they will mean a great deal. It's wonderful to know that the underground city, the valley hike, and the breathtaking viewpoints were highlights of your day. We're also pleased that you found the transportation comfortable and enjoyed the overall organization of the tour. We also appreciate your honest feedback regarding the shopping stops. Your comments are valuable and help us continue improving the experience we offer to our guests. Thank you for choosing Stoneland Travel and for your recommendation. We hope to welcome you back to Cappadocia for another unforgettable adventure! **Best regards,** **Stoneland Travel Team**
The cave cathedrals are amazing and the reason to take this tour. A bonus is the shopping experiences thrown in - if you want to mix up the unique historical themes and sights with a bit of costume jewellery shopping then this is the tour for you! Yes, a visit to a jewellery outlet is included. You don’t see much of this this nowadays. To round it off at the end of a long day there’s a 20 minute stop at a lolly shop. Between the shopping there’s also a couple of stops at cathedral caves.
Thank you for taking the time to share your feedback with us. We're delighted to hear that you enjoyed visiting Cappadocia's remarkable cave churches and historic sites—they truly are some of the region's most fascinating treasures. We also appreciate your comments regarding the shopping stops. These visits are included to give our guests the opportunity to discover local craftsmanship and traditional products, but participation is always completely optional. Your feedback is valuable and helps us continue improving our tours to better meet our guests' expectations. Thank you again for choosing Stoneland Travel. We hope to welcome you back to Cappadocia for another memorable experience! **Best regards,** **Stoneland Travel Team**
Booked last minute due to cancelled balloon flight. We had a great time. We saw so much that is just not possible without a car. We were collected from our hotel in Göreme at 09.30 and got back around 18.00 - so it's a big day and you certainly get your money's worth. The lunch was simple, but it was authentic. We enjoyed it. The sights you see from the road alone are worth coming for. Our tour guide Marve was lovely. She was knowledgeable and funny and made it a memorable tour.
Thank you so much for your wonderful review! We're so glad you decided to join our tour after your balloon flight was cancelled, and even happier to hear that it turned into such a memorable experience. Sometimes unexpected changes lead to wonderful discoveries! It's great to know you enjoyed exploring so many of Cappadocia's incredible sights, as well as the authentic local lunch. We're especially pleased that Merve made your day so enjoyable with her knowledge, enthusiasm, and sense of humor. We'll be sure to share your kind words with her. Thank you for choosing Stoneland Travel. We hope to welcome you back to Cappadocia in the future—perhaps next time for both an unforgettable tour and a successful balloon flight! **Best regards,** **Stoneland Travel Team**

We all know that the success of the tour relies very much on the guide and the driver. We were lucky as our guide and driver worked together to make our tour a wonderful experience. We have not only been to the iconic landmarks listed in the itinerary and have feasted spectacular views but have been educated by our guide who was both knowledgeable and professional.
Great tour and I can't fault the guide (Selim) who was very knowledgeable and had good information and was able to answer all questions. The only reason I don't give it 5 stars is that the drinks at the restaurante were exorbitantly priced and the stop at the shop at the end which wasn't needed.
