This ancient refuge once sheltered early Christians, and its intricate design reveals the ingenuity and resilience of its creators. Next, stop by a traditional pottery workshop, where you’ll try your hand at crafting pottery using techniques passed down through generations. Guided by a skilled local artisan, you’ll learn about the history of this ancient craft and create your own piece to take home as a keepsake. In the evening, join a local family for a hands-on cooking class, where you’ll prepare classic Cappadocian dishes. This intimate experience offers a chance to connect with the locals, share stories, and enjoy a meal that showcases the flavors and traditions of the region.
