Cappadocia: Cave Churches

Descend to the places where the first Christians hid from persecution, and rise in a hot-air balloon over one of the most fairy-tale landscapes on earth. Cappadocia is a land of rock-hewn churches, underground cities, and frescoes that have survived for millennia.

You'll walk through the cliff-cut churches of Göreme, descend into the multi-level underground cities where communities of the first believers lived and worshiped in secret, and meet the sunrise in the sky above the valleys — on a balloon flight, when the first rays of sun set hundreds of balloons aglow over the strange rock formations.

Where the courage of the first Christians meets the breathtaking beauty of this land.
