Our guide started telling stories as soon as we got on the bus, and I knew the day would be good. Derinkuyu underground city was a bit creepy but really impressive. The walk in Ihlara Valley was just right, not too hard and not too short. Selime Monastery and the fairy chimney views were also lovely. Nothing felt rushed, and lunch was ok too.
