Soganli Valley: The Hybrid of Old Times and Nature
We will start our day by visiting one of the most striking and nurturing natural areas of south Cappadocia.
Being known as Soganli Valley, this large place does not only contain the contrast of lively forests and dead-looking rocks, it also holds a deep history.
Here, the high rock blocks are decorated with carved, nest-looking rock pieces.
Because of its look, this valley is also known as the minimal version of the entire Cappadocia.
Yet, its beauty and popularity are not minimal at all.
During our walk in there, we will visit rock-carved chapels and churches that reflect the Roman era.
Our guide will enlighten you about their importance and stories, too.
Kaymakli Underground City: The Depths of the Ground
One of the other important stops of this tour is Kaymakli Underground City, which dates back to 7th-8th centuries.
Even if it had firstly been used by Phrygians, Indo-European people, successively, it was also used by Greeks, Romans, Christians and Byzantines.
According to the claims, even in Ottoman Empire era, it was used as refuges.
This cave-city has very wide boundaries:
Archeologists think that the entire city could gather approximately 3500 people.
Also, you will be able to see a church, numerous storage places, wineries and kitchen, ventilation shaft and a lot of corridors, gates, caves etc.
In other words, you will want to get lost in there!
Keslik Monastery
Cappadocia Blue Tour will also take you to one of the best excavated structures in Cappadocia, which is known as Keslik Monastery.
The monastery was made of volcanic tuffs, in the Byzantine era.
Its unique design, atmosphere and frescos in orange and yellow colors will make you completely amazed.
Mustafapasa Village: A Humble Life and Architecture
And also, instead of visiting only one more structure afterwards, we will visit an impressive village that all of its buildings are made of rocks.
Simply, the dominant color in there is beige and its tones, which come from the ancient rock-carved caves or usual buildings.
Anyways, the amazing mixture will make you feel you that you are mixing to its streets.
There are nearly 93 100-year-old houses and approximately 30 churches and chapels to see.
Because of its historical and architectural wealth, this village has been “a touristic center” since 1981.
Of course, while you are learning more thanks to our guide, you will understand its significance more.
Now, if you feel that you are ready to enjoy a content-rich Cappadocia Blue Tour, we would like to be your companion.

Reviews About Cappadocia Blue Tour
For some reason, the blue tour is not popular among tourists, compared to the red and green tours. We have been to all three and recommend everyone who has the opportunity to take all of these tours. Their difference is that the red tour is an excursion within Goreme, the green one is outside, and the blue tour is chosen by those who are interested in churches and monasteries. Well, that’s my personal classification. In addition to the Soanli valley, you can get to all other points of the excursion on your own, as far as we understand. We liked the Soanli Valley the most. We definitely recommend this excursion.
We’ve came to Cappadocia for 10 days to explore all its attractions, to fly in a hot air balloon, go underground, ride a car and so on. We’ve booked the hotel while we were still at home. And we decided to explore Cappadocia with the excursion market company, since we had already cooperated with them and this cooperation was very successful (we bought tours around Istanbul from them). This time we bought all three tours from excursion market; blue, red, green, of course we bought a hot air balloon ride and another jeep ride. I will not write reviews for each tour, I want to say only one thing: the guys are professionals. And they do not try to sell you something. No, they are always in touch and will help if something went wrong (we had one or two small delays). Thank you so much for the amazing Cappadocia.
Good tour. Especially underground city. Thanks again!
Tour was very good. Organization was very good. What else can I say 🙂 Highly recommended.
When choosing a tour and carefully researching its track, we decided to go with Blue Tour and did not regret our choice. We are very attracted by history, and especially monasteries and churches, which are rich here. We visited the Soganli Valley, this is an abandoned cave village, in which there are cave temples, the Karabash Church and the Serpent Church. I really liked the Cathedral of Helena and Constantine, located in a Greek village with an absolutely non-Greek name Mustafapasha 🙂 In general, the excursion leaves an indelible impression on what you saw. Thanks!
I really liked the village of Mustafa Pasha, which houses the Cathedral of Helena and Constantine (built in 1729). The village is interesting especially for its preserved Greek houses. Thanks for this excursion.
