• Devrent Valley (Pink Valley): Devrent Valley introduces Cappadocia through animal-shaped fairy chimneys and wide volcanic forms that make the landscape feel almost imagined.
• Pasabag Open Air Museum: Pasabag is one of the best places to see Cappadocia's multi-headed fairy chimneys and the cave cells once used by hermit monks.
• Avanos Pottery Workshop: Avanos adds a cultural stop to the valley route, showing how red river clay is shaped in local pottery workshops.
• Goreme Panoramic View: Goreme panoramic viewpoints help you read the scale of Cappadocia, with cave settlements, valleys and volcanic ridges visible together.
• Zelve Open Air Museum: Zelve preserves a former cave village spread across several valleys, with carved rooms, tunnels and churches that show daily life in the rocks.
• Uchisar Castle (exterior view): Uchisar Castle is Cappadocia's highest natural viewpoint and shows how defensive and domestic spaces were carved into one rock mass.

After breakfast, pick up from your hotel and transfer to the south Cappadocia route.

• Red Valley: Red Valley is known for warm volcanic colors, walking paths and layered rock walls that make south Cappadocia especially photogenic.
• Rose Valley (Gulludere Valley): Rose Valley, also called Gulludere, combines pink-toned cliffs with rock-cut churches and quiet walking sections.
• Cavusin Village: Cavusin is an old cave village where abandoned rock houses and cliff churches show the lived history of Cappadocia.
• Pigeon Valley: Pigeon Valley is named after carved dovecotes in the cliffs and gives one of Cappadocia's most familiar valley views.

Flight from Cappadocia to Antalya. If a direct flight is unavailable, a connected route via Istanbul may be used.

On arrival in Antalya, meet our team and transfer to your hotel in the city center. (Arrival airport and time may change according to availability.)

The rest of the day is free for your own pace in Antalya. This lighter arrival afternoon gives the package a useful breathing space after two guided Cappadocia days.

Overnight stay in Antalya

Meal: Breakfast

Today is free in Antalya after breakfast. You can slow the pace down in Kaleici, enjoy marina views, spend time by the sea, or keep the day flexible around shopping and coastal cafés.

This unguided day is important because it balances the tour-heavy structure of the other days. It lets Antalya feel like a destination in its own right rather than only a transfer point between flights.
