Overview

What makes this tour truly unique is the combination of natural beauty and deep history.
During the 5-kilometer Red Valley hike, guests walk through surreal red-colored rock formations, hidden cave churches, and quiet monastic valleys — each telling a story from early Christian life. Then, the experience goes underground, exploring one of Cappadocia’s mysterious underground cities, where ancient communities once sought refuge.
Nowhere else in Cappadocia can you experience such a seamless journey — from sunlight filtering through red canyons to the mysterious depths of an ancient subterranean world — all in a single tour.

HaclI Kilise (Cross Church)

The Church of the Cross (Haçlı Kilise), one of the hidden treasures of the Red Valley. You’ll recognize it by the distinct cross carved into its ceiling — the feature that gives the church its name. Dating back to the 9th or 10th century, it was carved directly into the soft tuff rock and used as a place of worship and retreat. Its simple interior, combined with the natural light filtering through small openings, creates a peaceful and spiritual atmosphere amidst the valley’s striking red rocks.

Aziz Agentangeus (3 Haçlı Kilise)

The Church of Three Crosses, located near the end of the Red Valley hike. It takes its name from the three beautifully carved crosses on the ceiling — a symbol of the Holy Trinity. The church dates back to the 9th–10th centuries and was carved entirely out of soft volcanic rock. Though its decoration is simple, the geometric reliefs and crosses reflect the spiritual devotion of early Christian monks who once lived here. It’s a peaceful and inspiring stop to end the hike, surrounded by the silence and natural beauty of the valley.
