Reviews About Cappadocia Green Tour (Southern Cappadocia Tour)
The tour was wonderful from start to finish and thanks for that, I definitely will recommend my friends to book it.
Our guide was full of energy and information about Cappadocia and told us every detail of it, and the organization was also perfect because they picked us up at the right time and brought there.
Bought on this site, horse safari and green tour. Both excursions are well organized. We saw many beautiful places that will forever remain in our memories. Thank you, excursionmarket, for your work. We definitely recommend it.
Thanks to our guide Arthur for an unforgettable excursion. He took our attention on everything. The main thing in a trip here is not just to come here, but to choose a guide who will simply fall in love with you in Cappadocia. I really liked it.
The green tour in Cappadocia differs from the Red one in that it offers to visit places remote from the town of Goreme. The tour includes such inaccessible attractions as Lake Nar and the Ihlara Valley. We were also shown an underground city, a valley of pigeons, monasteries. The agency offered us a transfer, entrance tickets, lunch and an English guide.

It was my old dream to visit Cappadocia. Cappadocia is an amazing area, everyone should visit here. It is difficult to say which of what I saw I liked the most, because every corner of Cappadocia is beautiful in its own way. Our excursion began with a visit to the Esentepe Panaroma as an observation deck. It is an unforgettable experience when you see this whole area from a bird’s eye view. After that, we went downstairs and guide told us in detail, the architecture of the natural park, its buildings in the rocks and even the underground city of Derinkey. As the guide told us, people used to live here. Keep in mind that weather is quite chilly in the underground city, so you need to bring warm clothes with you. Then we visited Lake Nar, which is located right in the crater of the volcano. But most of all, perhaps, I remember the monasteries, carved right in the rocks. This is a unique place with an interesting history. Try to be sure to visit here. Thanks a lot, for a well-organized excursion.
