Underground cities are literally cities build underground. Some of them are really huge – 12 stories below. They were used to hide against invaders during the war. Cappadocia has dozens of underground cities. Stout rolling-stone doors prevented invaders from entering. Deep wells provided water and tall chimneys ventilation. Wine presses, oil storage, livestock pens, cooking-places and even elaborate churches were carved out of the rock so that the inhabitants could live for weeks or months underground until it was safe to emerge and return to their ground-level villages. After the Underground City Tour, a visit to a Pottery Shop will end the Day 1 Tour. Or you can opt to avail an optional tour, the Whirling Dervish & Local Show at Cave comes with unlimited drinks!
