Střední Anatolie

Overlooking Cappadocia's iconic "fairy chimney" rock formations in Göreme, and exploring the underground cities and rock-cut caves, you'll feel as if you're traveling through history and natural wonders. From a high vantage point, these rock formations and caves, sculpted by time, resemble an alien landscape. Stepping into thousand-year-old rock ruins and underground cities, and gazing out through narrow rock-cut windows, you'll witness history and nature converging to create a breathtaking scale. In the afternoon, a stroll through the towering trees offers a refreshing escape as cool stream water flows beneath your feet, instantly washing away the dry heat. Surrounded by flocks of geese and ducks in the pond, and encountering a sudden close-up from a roadside cat—beyond the grand scenery, these lively and heartwarming small moments become the gentlest footnotes of the day.

Celkově jsem měl opravdu uspokojivou zkušenost. Náš průvodce, Eda, byl velmi laskavý a během celé prohlídky nám poskytoval užitečná vysvětlení. Prohlídka byla dobře organizovaná a nabízela skvělou hodnotu za peníze. Navštívili jsme Göreme Panorama, podzemní město Derinkuyu, klášter Selime, údolí Ihlara a Holubí údolí. Na každé zastávce nám Eda krátce vysvětlil vše potřebné a poté nám nechal dostatek volného času, abychom si vše prohlédli vlastním tempem. Před přesunem do údolí Ihlara jsme poobědvali a k dispozici byly různé možnosti hlavních jídel, včetně ryb, masových kuliček, kuřecího, hovězího, hub a vegetariánských pokrmů. Túra údolím Ihlara byla i v červnu trochu horká, ale mohli jsme si odpočinout ve stínu a pohodlně si ji užít. Vyzvednutí z hotelu bylo přesně v 9:30 a do hotelu jsme se vrátili kolem 16:30. V naší skupině bylo včetně mě pouze pět lidí, takže program probíhal hladce bez jakýchkoli zpoždění. Celkově to byla dobře načasovaná, efektivní a příjemná prohlídka. Určitě bych ji doporučil!

very worth experience. the rose valley was very pretty with the sunset shining on top. the tour guide ensured our safety and took many photos at different point.

Today, I joined a hiking tour of Red Valley and Rose Valley, and it was absolutely the most memorable part of my trip to Turkey! Our guide, Dogukan, led us away from the crowded main paths and onto hidden trails that few tourists know about. The entire journey felt like an adventure, unlike a typical sightseeing hike. The scenery along the way was incredibly diverse, with interwoven red and pink rock formations and giant fairy chimneys everywhere. We even explored some cave churches that very few tourists visit. Dogukan provided detailed explanations of how monks lived and resisted enemies there in ancient times, helping us understand how they practiced their faith in this remote valley. It wasn't just about seeing the sights and taking photos; it gave me a more comprehensive and in-depth understanding of Cappadocia. Dogukan is very personable and chatty. He skillfully assessed our group's abilities and chose the most suitable route. Along the way, he picked out secluded, stunning viewpoints for us to take photos and arranged breaks at just the right times, making us feel safe and secure throughout the entire trip. The end of the tour was an absolute surprise! Dogukan specially prepared drinks for us and took us to his private sunset viewing spot, where we could enjoy our drinks and quietly admire the Cappadocia sunset without having to jostle with crowds of tourists for a good view. This tour was completely different from standard, run-of-the-mill sightseeing tours; it was full of novelty and the joy of discovery from start to finish. If you want to avoid the crowds and deeply explore Cappadocia's unique landscape and monastic history, you absolutely must choose Dogukan! If I ever have the chance to revisit Cappadocia in the future, I will definitely seek him out again to guide me on more undiscovered routes.

Úžasný zážitek, all-inclusive prohlídka Kappadokie. Je toho tolik k vidění, a pokud pro vás peníze nejsou problém, tato prohlídka je vysoce doporučena. Pokrývá všechny nezbytné aktivity a není příliš dlouhá. Hotel je skvělý, a i když je to jeskynní hotel, nečekejte příliš mnoho, ale skvěle se hodí k atmosféře Kappadokie. Snídaně byla také skvělá. Všichni průvodci byli vynikající.

Thanks to the travel agency's thoughtful arrangements, every part of the itinerary was well-planned. The guide in Ephesus was the most patient and professional throughout the trip, and deserves special praise. Pamukkale was beautiful, and the sea in Kusadasi was stunning – I'd love to visit again. The coastal waterfalls in Antalya were absolutely gorgeous, and Cappadocia's unique landscape was unforgettable. Our fellow travelers were also very nice. Looking forward to our next gathering! Thumbs up!

Super seamless transfer from Istanbul to cappadocia (from pick up to flights to hotel and back). Had 2 different guides for each day: one guide was exceptionally good, the other was less so). Price is good value for the convenience, but if you book the balloon ride from an outside vendor can be much cheaper. The hotel/cave was good, but the itinerary listed a nicer hotel, that was a bit disappointing. Food can also be a bit better.

Kávový workshop s Ugurem jsem si nesmírně užil/a. Byl velmi znalý a vtipný a dokázal v každém vyvolat pocit, že je jako doma. Na závěr workshopu jsme si pochutnali na námi uvařené turecké kávě a tureckém medu. Vřele doporučuji jako rychlou vnitřní aktivitu v Kappadokii!

definitely one of the most rewarding experiences in Goreme! The staff team, especially my instructor Beril , was very professional, supportive and encouraging. It did take me more than two hours to finish the whole piece but they told me to take my time and respected the creative process, which I really appreciate. Highly recommend!
