"Cappadocia's underground cities were first dug out of the ground during the Bronze Age Hittite era, but they are most famous for their early Byzantine history (6th and 7th centuries) when Christians in the region began living underground for long periods to escape Arab and Persian invaders.
Kaymaklı Underground City is Cappadocia's largest example, featuring a maze of eight-story rooms connected by tunnels. Four of these floors can be explored by visitors.
💶 Paid admission
⭐️ Traveling through the underground labyrinth tunnels is a really interesting experience, but those with claustrophobia should be aware that some of the tunnels are very narrow."
