Overview
Cappadocia. At first glance, you may see only stone houses and fairy chimneys, but the history of this land runs much deeper. One of its deepest scars comes from the population exchange of 1923, when voices that had filled these streets for centuries fell silent.
One morning, Greek families who had known no other home locked their doors for the last time. They left behind their villages, homes, vineyards, and the graves of their ancestors. In Turkish, there is a saying: “Gözün arkada kalmasın” — “Don’t worry, don’t look back.” But they did.
Many left with only a few belongings, carrying their house keys with hope of returning one day. But they never did. Those who arrived rebuilt their lives in homes that still carried the memories of another time.

Itinerary

1
Mustafapasa
Your first stop is Mustafapaşa, formerly known as Sinasos. Once a thriving Greek settlement until the 1923 population exchange, its stone-paved alleys, ornate stonework, and wooden balconies reflect a time when traders sailed to the Black Sea, bringing wealth that shaped the village’s architecture.

2
From Mustafapaşa, you will visit Cemil Church, a lesser-known rock-hewn sanctuary. Its frescoes, though faded, still bear the devotion of those who once gathered here by candlelight.
1h Admission free -
3
Keslik Monastery
After a short drive, you will explore Keşlik Monastery, a secluded site tucked into the rugged hills. Unlike more visited monastic sites, Keşlik retains a peaceful solitude. Its churches, Archangelos and Stephanos, feature frescoes in muted reds and ochres, preserving their history. The monastery’s rock-carved water system reflects the resourcefulness of those who once sought refuge here.
1h Admission included -
4
Sobesos Ancient City
Next, you will visit Sobesos Ancient City, where the Roman era comes to life. Discovered by chance, Sobesos challenges the idea that this region was solely inhabited by cave dwellers. Its stone-paved streets, bathhouses, and council chambers hint at a once-thriving urban center. Smaller than grand Roman ruins, its floor mosaics show that Rome’s influence reached deep into Anatolia.
45 min Admission included -
5
Soganli Valley
You will then hike through Soğanlı Valley, where the landscape tells its own story. Rock-hewn churches, carved by monastic communities seeking solitude, line the cliffs. In the shadowed interior of Karabaş Church, delicate frescoes of saints and apostles still watch from soot-darkened walls. Not far away, Yılanlı Church (the “Snake Church”) depicts St. George slaying a dragon-like serpent, rich in spiritual meaning and symbolism.
2h Admission included

Traveller reviews
Nisa was our guide for three days and was fantastic. Always punctual and kind, she quickly became part of our group and took us to places we would never have found on our own, from beautiful terraces to cave dwellings still inhabited today. Her explanations were always simple, she took us to scenic spots where we could take beautiful photos, and she recommended local restaurants where we ate really well. It was a truly wonderful addition to our vacation.
Nisa was our tour guide in Cappadocia for three days during our private tour, and we couldn’t have asked for a better guide. Thanks to her, we were able to visit all the most beautiful and fascinating places in Cappadocia and make the most of our time there. She was always punctual, precise and incredibly helpful, but also friendly, cheerful and full of enthusiasm. She gave us so much interesting information about Cappadocia, its history, culture and traditions, always making everything engaging and enjoyable. Her passion for her work was evident, and she was truly dedicated to making our experience as pleasant and memorable as possible. Thanks to Nisa, our three days in Cappadocia were absolutely wonderful. We were genuinely sorry to continue our tour without her. She is an incredibly professional, knowledgeable, passionate and kind guide, and we would wholeheartedly recommend her to anyone visiting Cappadocia!
We spent three days in Cappadocia with Nisa. Her guided tour allowed us to enjoy an experience full of interesting information, while keeping things light and fun. The way Nisa accompanied us in discovering the most beautiful and fascinating places in Cappadocia was both informative and entertaining. Her way of telling the history is engaging and easy to follow, and it was also a pleasure to chat with her between visits. She also introduced us to some wonderful local restaurants, serving delicious and authentic food that we would certainly never have discovered without her! If I were to return to Turkey, I would definitely contact her again for more tours and recommendations. Thank you, Nisa, for making our wonderful trip to this fascinating country even more special!
I visited Cappadocia on a 3-day tour guided by Nisa. It was a fantastic experience. In addition to sharing fascinating historical information about the places we visited, Nisa helped us experience them in the most authentic way possible. Thanks to the right scheduling of the visits, we avoid the most crowded moments. The visits were perfectly timed, with just the right breaks to relax, enjoy the day, and take in the breathtaking views. We couldn’t have hoped for a better experience, great price/quality ratio. Highly recommended!
Fantastic tour, A mixture of sights, culture, and Cappadocian hospitality. The tour I did was customised to a 4 day tour adding elements from the range of tours offered by the company. My Tour leader Nisa or “B” as I called her was a local and it made such a difference. We were able to dodge around the crowds as she knew local shortcuts and people. We were able to meet and eat with the locals and enjoy their hospitality. We went off the beaten tourist track sometimes, and when the weather didn't quite play nice, we adjusted accordingly. One of the greatest moments was drinking tea with one of the cavehouse owners and also having a lunch with a local couple. "B" has great suggestions for places to go to watch the sunset and also local restaurants. We went to local market and a stall keeper had me trying my haggling skills to sell him something!! It was more like visiting family and seeing the sights than going on a small tour! Our driver was efficient and safe and the van was immaculate. I will be back!
We booked a private tour with Adventus and it was hands down the highlight of our trip to Cappadocia - Right from a comfortable car , safe driver to a knowledgeable guide - It was a great experience!! Our guide, Nisa, was incredibly knowledgeable, easygoing, and made everything feel seamless. What really stood out was how they customized the entire experience to match our interests—it felt personal rather than scripted. Absolutely worth it. If you’re planning a trip, don’t miss booking with Adventus!
“Blue Tour and Green Tour in Cappadocia” If you’re looking for a tour operator that can truly make you experience the magic of Cappadocia, this is definitely the right choice. I had the pleasure of meeting Nisa, who proved to be outstanding in her role: knowledgeable, brilliant, and always attentive to every detail. Her explanations were never ordinary, but full of interesting insights and details that made each visit even more fascinating. Thanks to her, we didn’t just see the most iconic places, but also discovered those hidden details that really make a trip special.♥️ In short? Highly recommended. They will exceed your expectations and make your experience in Cappadocia truly unforgettable. ✨
