Overview
The South Tour is a gentle, walking-paced day through the softer, greener side of Cappadocia. It begins among the elegant fairy chimneys of Ürgüp and the famous “Three Beauties”, then follows a scenic four-kilometre trail down the Red Valley, where rock-cut chapels hide among the cliffs. After lunch in a local restaurant you descend into Kaymaklı, one of Cappadocia’s vast underground cities, before an easy stroll through Pigeon Valley. It is the ideal complement to the North Tour and a favourite with clients who love to walk.
