Volcanism continued for millions of years, depositing thick and colorful tuff layers. The Cappadocian landscape's evolution starts with gently sloping plateaus, eroded in several thousands of years to form mushroom-like structures known locally as Fairy Chimneys. Humans have used these volcanic formations to build cave houses (troglodytes), churches, and underground cities for over 4000 years. </p> <br> <p> <strong class="color2" >Itinerary:</strong> </p> <div class="richtext"> <ul class="bullet-0"> <li><p><strong>Day 1 (December 11<sup>th</sup>): </strong> the trip will start at Istanbul Airport on December 11<sup>th</sup>, following the Bosphorus cruise the night before. We will take the Istanbul-Kayseri flight (<a href="http://www.thy.com/" target="_blank">Turkish Airlines</a>). Please buy your ticket for the 14:15 (better) or 16:05 flight as soon as possible. You can also book your return flight at any time convenient (we will leave the hotel on the morning of December 14<sup>th</sup>). </p> <p> For information, Cappadocia has two airports (Kayseri & Nevşehir), <a href="http://www.thy.com/" target="_blank">Turkish Airlines</span></a> and <a href="http://www.flypgs.com/" target="_blank">Pegasus Airlines</span></a> are two options for the return flight. However, beware that Pegasus Airlines flies only to Sabiha Gökçen Airport on the Asian side (not very convenient if you plan to continue your journey towards your country). It's better if you can take <a href="http://www.thy.com/" target="_blank"> Turkish Airlines</a>. A free bus transfer will be organised to <a href="https://www.perissiahotel.com/" target="_blank"> the Perissia Hotel</a> at Ürgüp. </p> </li> <li><p><strong>Day 2 (December 12<sup>th</sup>): </strong> Breakfast at 08:00 and leave at 9:00. We will visit the <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/turkey/cappadocia-kapadokya/goreme/attractions/goereme-open-air-museum/a/poi-sig/470968/360875" target="_blank">Göreme open-air museum</a> with many rock churches decorated with frescoes. Later, we will go to <a href="https://goreme.info/devrent.php" target="_blank">Devrent Valley</a>, known for its lunar-like landscape, where different Fairy Chimney formations can be seen. Lunch will be at <a href="https://lalindagoreme.com/" target="_blank">Lalinda Göreme Restaurant</a>. In the afternoon, we will visit the <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/turkey/cappadocia-kapadokya/attractions/zelve-open-air-museum/a/poi-sig/1250362/360873" target="_blank">Zelve Open Air Museum,</a> one of Cappadocia's oldest settlements and one of the three UNESCO sites in the park. Finally, we will see the village of Avanos, the centre of pottery-making in Cappadocia. Using ancient Hittite techniques, you can try your hand at an old-fashioned potter’s wheel to create your clay masterpiece—dinner at the hotel. </p> </li> <li><p><strong>Day 3 (December 13<sup>th</sup>): </strong> Optional Hot Air Balloon Tour (price varies, but it will be around 200 euros per person). Enjoy the miraculous wonders of the Cappadocia region from the sky at sunrise. This is a once-in-a-lifetime experience. <br> Breakfast at 08:00 and leave at 9:00. We will first visit the underground city of <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/turkey/cappadocia-kapadokya/attractions/kaymakli-underground-city/a/poi-sig/1249017/360873" target="_blank">Kaymaklı Underground City</a>. Archaeologists estimate that there are at least 30 such underground dwelling complexes, first begun by the Hittites around 2,000 B.C.; some are interconnected by tunnels built over the millennia. The underground city you will visit has eight stories carved into the ground beneath the surface. Later, we will go to <a href="https://www.lonelyplanet.com/turkey/cappadocia-kapadokya/attractions/soganli/a/poi-sig/1537869/360873" target="_blank"><span style="font-family: arial">Soǧanli</span> Valley</a>. On the way back, we will stop at Mustafapașa (old Sinasos), a small town selected as the best tourism village in Turkey and famous for its Ottoman and Greek architecture examples—dinner at the hotel. </li> <li><p><strong>Day 4 (December 14<sup>th</sup>): </strong> A free bus transfer will be provided from your hotel to the airport (you can buy any flight convenient for you). </li> </ul> <br> <div class="box_bg_special" style="padding: 20px; border: 2px solid #ddd; border-radius: 0 0 7rem 0;"> <h3 style="color: #fff" >What is included in the rate above</h3> <div class="richtext" > <ul class="bullet-0" style="padding-left:25px"> <li>3 Nights’ accommodation (Single, Double or Twin) in 5-star hotel</li> <li>Daily breakfast and dinner</li> <li>Meals as specified in the itinerary with one soft drink</li> <li>Private airport transfers in Cappadocia</li> <li>Transportation in deluxe nonsmoking vehicles with A/C and comfortable seats</li> <li>Fluent English-speaking guided tours</li> <li>All entrance fees for the museum and other historical sites we will visit</li> <li>All the transportation fees (highway fees and parking)</li> <li>All the expenses of the guide & driver, such as meals and drinks</li> <li>All local taxes.</li> </ul> </div> <br> <h3 style="color: #fff">What is excluded from the rate above</h3> <div class="richtext" > <ul class="bullet-0" style="padding-left:25px"> <li>International and internal flight tickets</li> <li>Balloon flight (200 euros per person) over the fairy chimneys at sunrise in Cappadocia</li> <li>Tips (not compulsory but customary for guide and driver)</li> <li>Personal expenses and other services that are not mentioned above</li> </ul> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> </div> <footer> <div id="footer"> <div class="row"> <div class="footer-left columns small-12 medium-7"> <div class="performer-logo"> <img src="source/sponsors/performer-events.svg" alt=""> <div>MedLIFE Official Organiser</div> </div> <div class="footer-newsletter"> To stay updated, <a href="index.php?p=newsletter">subscribe to our newsletter</a> </div> <div class="footer-link-contact"> If you can't find what you are looking for, please <a href="index.php?p=contact">contact us</a> </div> </div> <div class="footer-right columns small-12 medium-5"> <div class="conference_support "> <div>MedLIFE supports the<br><a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals#goals" target="_blank">Sustainable Development Goals</a></div> <div class="seperate_conference_support"></div> <div> <a href="https://sdgs.un.org/goals#goals" target="_blank"> <img src="source/sponsors/sgd.png" alt="Sustainable Development Goals" style="height: 38px"> </a> </div> </div> <div class="socialFooter"> <span>Connect with us on social media</span> <a href="https://www.linkedin.com/company/performer-conferences/" target="_blank" class=""> <i class="fab fa-linkedin-in"></i> </a> <a href="https://www.facebook.com/Performerconferences" target="_blank" class=""> <i class="fab fa-facebook-f"></i> </a> <a href="https://x.com/PerformerEVENTS" target="_blank" class=""> <i class="fa-brands fa-x-twitter"></i> </a> <a href="https://www.youtube.com/channel/UCvAxq-8gKweTuXk2ieXtG6A" target="_blank" class=""> <i class="fab fa-youtube"></i> </a> </div> <p class="copyright_conference">© 2024 MedLIFE </p> </div> </div> </div>  <script async src="https://www.googletagmanager.com/gtag/js?id=G-XZN471C0B3"></script> <script> window.dataLayer = window.dataLayer || []; function gtag(){dataLayer.push(arguments);} gtag('js', new Date()); gtag('config', 'G-XZN471C0B3'); </script> </footer> <script type="text/javascript" src="source/main.js?v=2"></script> <script type="text/javascript" src="source/menu_mobile.js?v=3"></script>  <script src="https://code.jquery.com/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"></script> <script>window.jQuery || document.write('<script src="assets/js/jquery-3.2.1.min.js"><\/script>')</script>  <script src="assets/js/easing.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script> <script src="assets/js/camera.min.js" type="text/javascript"></script>  <script src="assets/js/plugins.js"></script> <div id="scrol_to_top" style="display: none"> <i class="fas fa-angle-up"></i> </div> <script> $(document).ready(function(){ $(window).scroll(function(){ if ($(this).scrollTop() > 100 || $('#scrol_to_top').scrollTop() > 100) { $('#scrol_to_top').fadeIn(); } else { $('#scrol_to_top').fadeOut(); } }); $('#scrol_to_top').click(function(){ $("html, body").animate({ scrollTop: 0 }, 600); return false; }); }); </script> </body> </html>
