Kaymakli Underground CityDerinkuyu is the largest underground city in Cappadocia, with seven floors and a depth of 85 meters. The city has all the usual rooms found in an underground city such as stables, cellars, storage rooms, refectories, churches, wineries, and even a missionary school. The missionary school features a large room with a vaulted ceiling and study rooms set apart on the left. The descent to the cruciform plan church on the lowest floor is taken care of by vertical staircases from the third and fourth floors. The ventilation shaft, which is 55 meters deep, was also used as a well. To protect inhabitants from poisoning during raids, some floors were intentionally left without surface access. Although the city was opened to visitors in 1965, only 10% of the city is currently available for visitation.

Ihlara ValleyEarly Christians carved their rock houses and temples out of tuffs in the valley of Ihlara, where the Melendiz River flows. The locals are known as "Peristrema," which means "the people of circulating waters," due to the water flowing through Ilhara. Trying to find the source of this water in Ihlara is like searching for the meaning of life. It takes approximately 2.5 hours to walk from Ihlara Vadisi to Belisirma, and around 3 hours to walk from Belisirma to Selime.
