We drive thru the villages of Cappadocia to Kaymakli (or Derinkuyu) to descend down about 80 ft under the ground, and then drive further on thru the potato and wheat farms and villages to Mustafapasa, which was called Sinasos in the pre – Republic times and abandoned by the Greek polulation following the population exchange in 1924.

There is still a Turkish population around 1000 in Mustafapasa, and lunch will be served in an old Greek House by a Turkish family in the most traditional way. After sipping our coffee (or tea) in the village coffee house, we will head on to Soganli visiting the Keslik Monastery and Taskinpasa en route.

After a hike between churches in this wild natural setting, we will head back to our hotel for a well earned rest.
