You will experience the beauty of discovering the Kaymakli underground city, which is the most interesting and visited by the most guests in Cappadocia.
Kaymaklı Underground City, located in Kaymaklı town of Nevşehir Province, is 20 km away from Nevşehir and was opened to visitors in 1964. The ground floor of the city, which consists of 8 floors in total, was built during the Hittite Period. During the Roman and Byzantine Periods, it was transformed into an underground city by carving out other areas and expanding it. Today, 4 floors are illuminated and opened to visitors.
This underground city, carved into tuff rocks, has all the necessary shelter conditions for a population to live temporarily. There are rooms and halls connected to each other by narrow corridors, wine tanks, water cellars, kitchen and food warehouses, ventilation chimneys, water wells, churches and large bolt stones that close the door from the inside to prevent any danger from the outside.
