CAPPADOCIA-2DAYS/1NIGHT DEPARTS FROM ISTANBUL
CAPPADOCIA TOUR-2 DAYS/1 NIGHT DEPARTS FROM ISTANBUL Cappadocia,a dreamy slice of central Turkey dotted with ‘fairy chimneys’ (rock formations), has a history in every bit and has a remarkable landscape. Volcanic eruptions created this surreal moonscape: the lava flows formed tuff rock, which wind and rain sculpted into sinuous valleys with curvy cliff faces and pointy Fairy Chimneys. Cappadocians chiselled homes in the soft rock, paving the way for cave-dwelling hippies and today’s boutique Fairy-Chimney hotels.The area’s most extraordinary phase was during the Medieval Era, when the valleys were a refuge for Byzantine Christians. The religious troglodytes established monastic settlements, and their cave churches add a biblical solemnity to the Flintstones-like region. The Göreme Open-Air Museum,a World Heritage site,has the best collection of chapels and living quarters, most dating to around the 11th century. 18.30.Pick up from your Hotel in Istanbul,and transfer to our Office.Company shuttle pick-up from our Office at:19.00 to 19:30 and transfer to bus terminal.20.30 Take a 11 hours bus ride to Cappadocia Arriving in Cappadocia next morning around 07.00 am.Upon arrival and continue to the site DAY-1 CAPPADOCIA/NORTH: 09.00 Pick-up from your Hotel,drive to Devrent Valley.Walk 1 km through the Fairy Chimneys in Devrent Valley,Paşabağ ,practice pottery production with the ancient technique in Avanos,visit to Göreme Open Air Museum holding the earliest churches and chapels carved in Fairy Chimneys presenting finest examples of frescoes, Pigeon Valley, petrified valley of Uchisar Castle,the highest point in the region,Esentepe;Panorama for the best view of the region 16.30 End of tour,Transfer to your Hotel.Overnight at Cave Hotel in Cappadocia.

The entrance fees for the museums are not included.
Grand Bazaar
Probably the best way to describe the Grand Bazaar is to quote Mark Twain - "We went to the Grand Bazaar in Stamboul, of course, and I shall not describe it further than to say it is a monstrous hive of little shops - thousands, I should say - all under one roof, and cut up into innumerable little blocks by narrow streets which are arched overhead." With more than 4000 shops in 64 streets and with 22 gates, the Grand Bazaar - or Kapaliçarsi as it is in Turkish - looks like a labyrinth. We must say that this definitely is not a shopping tour - but a walk that will leads you through shops where they sell leather goods, sweets, dried fruit and spices, jewelry, glassware, pottery, fabrics, belly dancing costumes, t-shirts and all sorts of souvenirs. We will visit workshops where you will see how gold is melt in fire, as it has been for centuries; you will witness how the craftsmen fix degrees on carats; you will see how artisans do their engraving on silver.
