Kaymakli underground city is built under the hill known as the Citadel of Kaymakli and was opened to visitors in 1964. The people of Kaymakli (Enegup in Greek) village have constructed their houses around nearly one hundred tunnels of the underground city. The inhabitants of the region still use the most convenient places in the tunnels as cellars, storage areas and stables, which they access through their courtyards. The Kaymakli Underground City has low, narrow and sloping passages. While the underground city consists of 8 floors below ground, only 4 of them are open to the public today, in which the spaces are organized around ventilation shaft.

After spend 1 hour in underground city, we will continue to Mount Erciyes. Argeus (Erciyes) Volcano is the highest and most famous volcano of the Cappadocia. This mountain is the grreat and it gave around smoke last time 2000 years ago. Today it is a death volcano but still impressive with its amazing quality of the snow to ski.
