Cappadocia Underground City and Avanos Pottery Tour with Ticket

Beneath Cappadocia lie whole cities dug into the soft volcanic rock, where people sheltered with their animals and food stores for weeks at a time. On this half-day tour, your guide leads you down through the narrow passages of an underground city, such as Kaymaklı or Derinkuyu, past ventilation shafts, kitchens, stables and the great round stones that sealed the doors.

Back in the daylight, you drive to Avanos, a town on the Red River whose potters have used its clay for thousands of years. At a family workshop you watch a master potter at the kick wheel and can try it yourself.
