Highlights

Kaymakli Underground City - As Cappadocia’s largest underground city, Derinkuyu has approximately seven floors and runs 85m deep. It contains all the usual rooms found in an underground city: stables, cellars, storage rooms, refectories, churches, wineries, etc. The compound even includes a missionary school, a large room featuring a vaulted ceiling and study rooms set apart on the left. Vertical staircases take care of the descent down from the third and fourth floors, leading to a cruciform plan church on the lowest floor. The 55m deep ventilation shaft was also used as a well. To protect dwellers from poisoning during raids, some floors were left without surface access. Although Derinkuyu Underground City was opened to visitors in 1965, to this day, only 10% of the city can be visited.
