## Itinerary
### Red Tour Day: Devrent, Paşabağ, Avanos and Zelve

Day one of your two-day shared tour covers the Red route in northern Cappadocia. Pickup is 09:30–10:20 by area (Göreme, Uçhisar, Ürgüp, Avanos, Nevşehir); we send the exact time the day before, and the same applies for tomorrow. Over about 8 hours you see rock figures at Devrent, the hermit chimneys of Paşabağ and the old cave village of Zelve, with lunch in Avanos. The walking adds up to roughly 2.5 km on uneven ground. A pottery workshop and a carpet workshop are on today's program, with no obligation to buy. Göreme Open-Air Museum is not part of this day. Stops: Devrent Valley, Paşabağ Monks Valley, Avanos pottery workshop, Carpet Weaving Education Center (about 30–45 min), Zelve Open-Air Museum.

### South Tour Day: Çavuşin, Özkonak and Pigeon Valley

Your second day follows the South route, again with hotel pickup between 09:30 and 10:20 depending on your area, at the time we confirm the day before. It works well as a second day: fewer fairy chimneys than yesterday, more village life and underground rooms. You hike up to abandoned Çavuşin, go down into Özkonak Underground City, have a buffet lunch and finish with viewpoints over Pigeon Valley and Ortahisar. Expect about 8 hours and some 3 km on foot. Onyx and leather workshops are on today's program, and buying is optional. Stops: Old Çavuşin, Özkonak Underground City, Onyx workshop (about 30–45 min), Pigeon Valley and Ortahisar viewpoints, Leather workshop (about 30–45 min).
