Private Cappadocia Yellow Tour

Your tour starts at Tatlarin Underground City. This amazing place was built under the ground around 4000 years ago. It was used to hide from enemies and stay safe during wars.

Tatlarin is less crowded than other underground cities so you can explore it peacefully. You will see rooms used as kitchens, churches, food storage and bedrooms. The most special thing about this underground city is having a toilet inside. That is not every common for underground cities. Unfortunately, mostly people used to use pots for it. The tunnels are narrow but very exciting to walk through.

Your private guide will explain how people lived here, how they cooked, slept and stayed safe in hard times. It is a place full of mystery and surprises.

Next, you will visit the beautiful Agzikarahan Caravanserai. A caravanserai was like a hotel for travelers on the Silk Road. The ancient trade route between the East and West.

This stone building is big and strong. It has big doors, high walls and quiet inner courtyards. People used to come here with camels, horses and goods. They met their needs in the building.

Your guide will explain to you how people use the Caravanserai with stories about the Silk Road and why it is important for travelers to stay safe and comfortable. It’s like walking into the past.

Your next stop on the Private Cappadocia Yellow Tour is the Gulsehir Open Palace Museum. This place is a secret treasure in Cappadocia. It is located in a quiet town called Gulsehir.
