Ihlara Valley and Derinkuyu Underground City Tour

Continue driving to Derinkuyu Underground City, one of the best preserved underground Cities in Cappadocia, at a depth of approximately 85 meters. It contains stables, cellars, storage rooms, refectories, churches, wineries etc. It even includes a missionary school with study rooms. Proceed to Ihlara Valley. The gorge is 16 km long and both sides are lined with rock carved Churches, there are more than a hundred little churches and houses. You will walk about 4 km along the river in the valley exploring the hidden churches. At the end of your walk lunch will be served at Belisirma Village by the river.
On the way back visit Selime Monastery, carved out of the rock by Christian monks in the 13th century. The size of the church makes a visit here astonishing. Stop briefly at Yaprakhisar Panorama point for another view of this great Monastery (this is also the spot where famous movie "Star wars" was shot).
