What to bring

• Wear comfortable walking shoes with good support, as paths range from uneven stone steps to dusty valley trails and underground tunnels.
• Bring a light layer, since temperatures can shift noticeably between open viewpoints, shaded valleys, and underground cities throughout the day.
• Carry sun protection such as a hat or sunscreen, especially for exposed valley stops where shade is limited even outside peak summer.
• Keep a small backpack rather than a large bag, which makes moving through narrow underground passages and village paths much easier.
• This route is less touristy overall, so having small cash is useful for village stops where card payments may not be accepted.

What’s not allowed

• Large backpacks or bulky bags are not recommended, as narrow underground passages and tight spaces make them difficult to carry.
• Flash photography is not allowed inside cave churches and underground cities.
• Drones are not permitted at archaeological sites or valleys without official permission, even for personal use.
• Smoking is not allowed inside vehicles, underground cities, or protected historical areas during the tour.
• Pets are not allowed on the tour, as several locations involve confined spaces and protected heritage areas.

Accessibility

• This experience is not wheelchair accessible due to uneven terrain, stairs, and narrow passages at several sites.
• Several stops include low-ceiling underground passages with limited airflow, making them unsuitable for visitors with claustrophobia and respiratory conditions.

Additional information

• Hotel pick-up and drop-off are included for local hotels in Cappadocia; please confirm your hotel details at the time of booking.
• Özkonak is less crowded than the more famous underground cities, but passages are narrower, so small backpacks are more comfortable than shoulder bags.
• Red Valley viewpoints change dramatically with light; mid-afternoon brings deeper colors, while late morning shows more detail in rock textures.
• The order of stops may vary on the day to avoid crowds or weather-related delays.
