Cappadocia Red and Green Tour in One Day with Lunch

Day tours in Cappadocia usually come in two flavours: the Red Tour of the north and the Green Tour of the south. If your time is limited, this Cappadocia Red and Green tour fits the highlights of both programmes into a single day.

How the day unfolds

With a professional guide you visit the historic sights of central and northern Cappadocia. The views around Uçhisar's rock-cut castle, the fairy chimneys of Göreme and the pottery town of Avanos on the Red River are all part of the day. You also descend into an underground city to see the levels carved into the rock and learn how people lived there.

Lunch and tickets

Lunch is included, with a choice of dishes on the menu, and so are the entrance tickets on the tour. Drinks and personal shopping are extra. You travel in an air-conditioned vehicle between the stops.

Who is it for?

If you only have one day in Cappadocia or you are visiting for the first time, this tour is a good introduction to the region. Because of the narrow passages in the underground city it is not recommended for anyone with claustrophobia or a spinal condition.

Practical tips

Wear comfortable shoes, as there is walking at most stops, and take a light cardigan: the underground city is cool even in summer. The best light for photos usually comes in the afternoon at the Uçhisar and Göreme viewpoints, so keep your camera ready for the second half of the day.
