Descend into an underground city

Beneath Cappadocia lies one of its most astonishing secrets: vast underground cities, like Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı, carved many levels deep into the rock, where whole communities once sheltered from invaders, complete with stables, kitchens, churches and ventilation shafts. Wandering these eerie tunnels is a genuinely unique experience and an inexpensive paid attraction. It's often included on the guided Green Tour. We'll explain which underground city is best to visit and whether to go independently or as part of a tour.
