JEEP SAFARI IN CAPPADOCIA ( FAIRY CHIMNEYS )
Jeep Safari Tours
Throughout Fairy Chimneys All Around Cappadocia /
Turkey
One of the best ways to explore Cappadocia is
driving off-road with 4x4 vehicles: Cappadocia
Jeep Safari. These 4x4 off-road jeep tours are led
by a specialist guide with knowledge of the local
dirt-track roads that are not on any maps. You
will discover the behind-the-scenes secrets of
Cappadocia's less-known villages, ancient trade
routes, as well as mountain, stream and forest
roads. Occasionally the rocky paths are very
narrow and skilled driving may be required on some
routes. There will also be short walks, special
photograph stops, and the opportunity to see major
local sights. |

On every tour, the
jeep will pick you up from and return you to your
hotel. Lunch can be in a local village, or we can
do our own bar-bq, Cappadocia style of course.
Programme 1:
Starting from Urgup,
we go to Ortahisar village via Uzengi stream with
its natural health spring, then on to Uchisar
village via local dirt roads. There will be photo
opportunities at the rockscapes and panoramic
viewpionts around this traditional rock village.
After lunch, drive off-the-road via Pigeon Valley
to Goreme, and finally via Love Valley and an
undiscovered valley used by local shepherds, on to
Avanos where traditional pottery has been made in
the same way for millenia.
Programme 2 :
Starting from
Urgup, via local vineyard tracks, we go to the
Byzantine Hospital Monastery. We’ll take a look
around the traditional village of Ortahisar with
its Culture Museum before wending our way from Red
Valley to Goreme. Driving down through the narrow
tracks takes concentration, nerve, and a little
skill. Before the tour finishes, we will take the
opportunity to visit the Byzantine cave churches
in Goreme Open Air Museum.
Programme 3 :
This tour starts in Goreme,
where we meet the dirt tracks to Uchisar village,
then via the old Silk Road once used by camel
trains we go to Kavak village, and from there to
Bahceli and Ayvali villages. These are places
rarely visited by travelers, and we will have
lunch in one of them. After lunch we will visit
Gomeda, a hidden and largely unknown Byzantine
monastic valley, before joining the southern
section of Uzengi stream with its beautifully
decorated pigeon houses and ending the day in
Ortahisar.
Programma 4 :
This is a
special tour for those who love waterfalls because
we go to Kapuzbasi (cap-ooz-basher) waterfalls
near the village of Yahyali, 70km south of
Kayseri. The water originates as springs from the
slopes of Ensenin Tepe hill near Kapuzbasi village
and creates a series of waterfalls with heights
between 30 and 50 meters falling into the Zamanti
River. This awesome natural phenomenon is one of
the most important in the world in relation to
flow rates and heights. We can have lunch near the
waterfalls before returning to Cappadocia via the
Byzantine monastery valley of Soganli, Sobessos
archaeological site where they have uncovered
substantial buildings with mosaics from the middle-Byzantine
period, Tashkinpasa and Cemil villages for
traditional local culture, and Keshlik Monastery
from the Middle Ages with its secret tunnel where
the monks conversations could be overheard.
