The "Cappadocia Guided Walk" trip starts from and ends in Kayseri. It is a walking tour that takes 8 days taking you through Uchisar Castle, Urgup and Kayseri in Turkey. "Cappadocia Guided Walk" is a guided small group trip that includes accommodation, meals and others.

A guided walk along ancient trails to discover the lunar landscape of Cappadocia on foot. For millions of years the volcanoes of the Central Anatolian Plateau erupted over the land to create the unique rock formations and fairy chimneys that characterise Cappadocia. Through the centuries, civilisations carved houses and churches within these rocky pillars and underground cities leaving a natural and historic legacy which continues to be a focal point for visitors to the region. Interspersed amongst these relics is a living culture of traditional villages, spectacular river valleys and rural settlements. On this guided tour you will follow a series of trails to reach the highlights of the region such as Mustafapasa, Ortahisar (or 'middle fortress') and Goreme, to name a few. This week long walking trip explores lunar landscapes and fascinating ancient sites.
