Derinkuyu Underground City, one of Cappadocia’s most remarkable cultural sites, offers a glimpse into ancient life. Carved from soft tuff rock, it descends 85 meters and includes stables, dining halls, churches, and a missionary school. A 55-meter-deep ventilation shaft served as a water well, ensuring fresh air and water. The upper floors housed communal kitchens and wine production areas, while the first floors were used as stables. Open to visitors since 1965, only 10% of this vast network is accessible, showcasing the ingenuity of its builders. Derinkuyu’s cool summers, warm winters, and labyrinthine design highlight its historical significance and innovative engineering.

We had a great time. The guide was absolutely fantastic and was accomodating for all our needs. And the pictures at the end were great and very reasonably priced!
It was really easy to skip the line and book the tour online. Thanks to the site. But I just have one request .management really needs to take care of safety .guides just rampage through with hordes of tourist ..it almost feels like a calamity is impending if they dont take care of movement of people and please make sure you are fit and not claustrophobic this is not a trip in the garden
