We descend 380 steps to reach the Ihlara Valley, which is 14 km long, a natural formation, and a significant retreat place in Christianity. We take a walk in the Ihlara Valley, which has a depth of over 120 meters created and flowed by the Melendiz stream, while gathering information about the valley, its settlements, and churches. Depending on the density, we may see examples of Ağaçaltı, Sümbüllü, or Yılanlı Churches and receive information from our guide. We will also have free time to immortalize our memories at beautiful photo spots and recharge our spirits in the valley atmosphere. When we meet at the arranged time at our vehicle, we gather our energy spent on climbing the stairs and move to our next visit, Narlıgöl Crater Lake.

After our photo break, we proceed to Kaymaklı Underground City. (In case of crowding, Derinkuyu or Özkonak Underground City will be visited. With approximately 4500 years of usage history, the underground city fascinates with its architectural features and uses. We will conduct our visit to the Kaymaklı Underground City with our guide.
