Mustafapaşa, Sobessos + Soğanli Valley Tour

Mustafapa?a, Sobessos + So?anli Valley Tour

Between 9 am and 9:30 am, we will pick you up from your hotel in Cappadocia to begin a tour of lesser-known areas of the region.

The first stop is Mustafapa?a, an ancient Greek city, also known as Sinasos, significant in Orthodox history and the Turkish War of Independence.

Next, we will visit Sobessos, located near Sahinefendi. This Roman site, discovered in 2002, features remnants of the baths, agora, basilica, and bouleuterion.

After exploring Sobessos, you will have an hour of free time for lunch at a local restaurant. Following lunch, we will proceed to the So?anli Valley, known for its rock-hewn churches with various architectural styles. A short hike in the area will allow us to explore the temples and their frescoes.

We will also visit the Keslik Monastery, where frescoes are only visible by torchlight. The tour concludes in Avanos, renowned for its handicrafts, where you can participate in a pottery workshop.

We will return you to your hotel in Cappadocia between 4 pm and 4:30 pm.
