Uncover the secrets of Özkonak Underground City, one of Cappadocia’s hidden gems, carved deep into volcanic rock. Smaller yet more intimate than Derinkuyu or Kaymakli, Özkonak features a labyrinth of tunnels, stone doors, ventilation shafts, and clever communication holes that once connected its different levels.
Guided Özkonak Underground City tours from Cappadocia include hotel transfers, entry tickets, a local guide, and stops at Göreme Open-Air Museum, Avanos, and Devrent Valley — a perfect mix of history, culture, and natural beauty.
Begin your tour with hotel pickup from Cappadocia and drive through volcanic valleys to reach Ozkonak Underground City. Along the way, enjoy scenic views of fairy chimneys and the Anatolian countryside.
Descend into the ancient underground settlement with your guide. Discover narrow corridors, wine cellars, living quarters, and the site’s unique communication holes, a signature feature not found in other Cappadocian cities. Learn how residents survived invasions while living underground for extended periods.
Next, explore the UNESCO-listed Goreme Open-Air Museum, home to beautifully preserved rock-cut churches and frescoes that tell stories from the Byzantine era. Your guide will share the history behind these monastic chambers and their spiritual significance.
Stop in Avanos, a riverside town famous for pottery-making traditions that date back to the Hittite era. Watch live demonstrations and try shaping clay on the wheel before enjoying a hearty Turkish lunch at a local restaurant.
Conclude your journey with a walk through Devrent Valley and Pasabag (Monks) Valley, where surreal rock formations and fairy chimneys create picture-perfect scenery. Then, return to your Cappadocia hotel by evening.
