Top 10 things to do in Cappadocia

1. Undergroundcities
Beneath Cappadocia’s rock formations are underground cities, not just one or two, but 36 of them! Believed to have housed up to 10,000 people each, they were used by the first inhabitants of Cappadocia to escape the harsh winter and wild animals. Later, they became the place of hiding of the first Christians who escaped persecution at the hands of Roman soldiers. I visited Kaymakli Underground City, believed to be the widest one, which consists of eight floors below, out of which only four are open to the public. I was amazed by this architectural masterpiece and the excellent engineering. There was a winery, ventilation shafts, storage rooms, bedrooms, stables, even a church; hard to imagine how they could have built all this with hand tools and no electricity!

2. Goreme Open Air Museum

This UNESCO World Heritage Site is definitely on my list of top things to do in Cappadocia. From being an important Byzantine monastic settlement that housed monks, to a pilgrimage site from the 17th century, the Goreme Open Air Museum houses some of the finest rock cut churches. These are beautifully painted from inside with murals dating from 900-1200 AD. Even today these wall frescoes retain their original freshness.

3. Pasabag (Monks Valley)

Pronounced Pah-shah-bah, the area is famous for its peculiar fairy chimneys. These stunning natural structures are the result of erosion that took place millions of years ago and locals often refer to them as mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys. According to folk tales, the area was inhabited by fairies who lived underground, hence the name. Later, monks took refuge there in the early period of Christianity, around 4th to 5th Century.

4. Devrent Valley

As my tour group and I reached the site, our guide told us to let our imagination run wild, for we were in Devrent Valley, also known as Imaginary Valley. Unlike other valleys of Cappadocia, this one does not have cave churches, Roman castles or even tombs; in fact it was never inhabited. What makes it special is the fact that it resembles the moonscape! There are rock pillars that resemble a camel, snake, penguin, seals and dolphin. Don’t believe me? Look closely at the picture above.

5. Pottery And Ceramics Shop In Avanos

The town of Avanos is a bustling area in the city and is located on the shore of the Red River, the longest one in Turkey. It has been the centre for pottery and craft making since the Hittite period. The reddish-brown clay that is harvested from this river is used in the workshops to make exquisite handmade ceramics. You can witness a demonstration by a potter in one of the many family-run pottery shops, and then visit the demonstration workroom, before making your way to the main showroom. I was amazed to learn that the most elaborate pieces can take months to make!

6. Stay in a Cave Hotel

Ever wonder how the locals of Cappadocia lived in caves for thousands of years? The many cave hotels give you the opportunity to experience troglodyte lifestyle in luxury. Unlike the hardships faced by the locals then, these boutique hotels come complete with amenities such as Hamams (Turkish baths), fast speed Internet and modern bathrooms. Other features include rock-cut arches, walls patterned with volcanic colour and panoramic terraces with views of the valley.

7. Horse Riding

Cappadocia is derived from the ancient Hittite word ‘Katpatuka’, which means “land of beautiful horses”. Clay tablet scriptures dating back to 1460 BC depict the area’s devotion to expert horse breeding. Today, one can explore the unique landscape of Cappadocia on a native Anatolian horse or Arab horse and visit areas where even tour buses can’t pass through.

8. Turkish Night

A traditional Turkish night marks the perfect end to a day of sightseeing in Cappadocia. The show highlights the dance traditions of Turkey, complete with traditional costumes and of course scintillating belly dancers. Most of the shows take place in Cappadocia’s cave restaurants. It was fascinating to watch the dancers as they performed the traditional way in which a girl gets married in Turkey. The highlight of the night was the Belly Dancer. Here's a sneak peek of what I'm talking about.

9. Pottery Kebab

I had read about Cappadocia’s local speciality, the Pottery Kebab, which takes about five hours to cook and requires prior booking. I was obviously not going back without having tasted the dish. FYI: The locals call everything cooked with meat kebab, so don’t get confused. One of the most traditional meals, available in almost every restaurant here, the clay pot meal consists of a ceramic pot filled with meat, vegetables and spices. It is then sealed and baked until all the flavours come together. The end result is a delicious slow cooked meat and vegetable stew.

10. Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon

If you’re wondering why I left this to the end, well the reason is quite obvious; this experience left me on a high (quite literally!). It is one thing to see the dramatic landscape of Cappadocia from the ground, but a whole new experience to see it from above! Soaring above the valleys and dramatic rock formations, peeking into pigeon holes and caves, and floating among a hundred multi-coloured hot air balloons was nothing short of spectacular! There were moments of ooh-ing and aah-ing and at one time all 15 of us on the balloon went absolutely quiet, as we tried to absorb the incredulous beauty that lay before us.

If you join the Cappadocia hot air balloon ride you will not miss any part of the full day Cappadocia group tour as the hot air balloon ride is in the early morning before start of the full day Cappadocia tour.
