Overview
The North Tour — often called the Red Tour — is the perfect first day in Cappadocia. In a single loop it gathers the landscapes that made this region famous: the lunar folds of Devrent Valley, the mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys of Paşabağı, and the sweeping panorama over Göreme from Esentepe. Along the way you pause in Avanos for lunch and a pottery demonstration, then finish at the honeycombed silhouette of Uçhisar Castle, the highest point in Cappadocia. It is an easy, richly varied day that leaves you with the postcard images they came for.
