Upscale Cappadocia Tours designed by FELICITY Travel invite you to explore the “Land of Beautiful Horses”—a poetic translation from the ancient Persian language. This geological miracle was forged over thousands of years by the volcanic ashes and lava of Mount Erciyes and Mount Hasan, where wind and water sculpted soft rock into breathtaking valleys and the magnificent formations known as fairy chimneys.
For centuries, humans carved into these natural structures to create homes, and during turbulent eras of war and natural disasters, they built vast underground cities. Entire communities of thousands lived safely underground for years at a time. Later, when Christianity was outlawed by the Roman Empire and early believers faced severe persecution, Christians sought sanctuary in these valleys, building hidden churches carved directly into the rock. People continued to live in these small settlements well into the 1960s.
At FELICITY Travel, we take immense pride in moving far beyond regular, group tour itineraries, introducing our guests to the true soul of this extraordinary landscape with understated luxury and deep local expertise.
Göreme Open-Air Museum: The most visited site in Cappadocia, featuring breathtaking rock-carved churches adorned with remarkably preserved, beautiful ancient frescoes reflecting early Christian history.
Underground Cities of Cappadocia: home to numerous subterranean complexes—such as Kaymaklı, Derinkuyu and Özkonak. We carefully select the underground city that best suits each guest; for visitors uncomfortable with enclosed spaces, we offer more spacious, easily accessible alternatives.

This was an excellent overview of the 7 churches of revelation and the Cappadocia area. It is very pertinent to the history of Christian faith . The hotels were well chosen and we had no issues with any transportation from the airport.
Thank you Felicity travel for an excellent tour !
Our private tour to Cappadocia was great! Maria from Felicity travel assisted very patiently with all of arrangements and we also had a very good guide, Nylay and a very pleasant and patient driver Rasif, I think.
