Derinkuyu Travel Guide

Tourist Guide

Down the rabbit hole! The Derinkuyu underground city is the world's deepest with 12 floors built below the surface. It's engineering is simply mind-blowing considering the accommodations made for proper ventilation, storage and movement. Don't miss it for anything if you visit the place (unless you are claustrophobic).
Bad weather in Cappadocia? No worries! You can always visit one of the many underground cities found around the region—like Derinkuyu, the biggest one with four floors and more than 60m deep. It used to house around 20,000 people at some point and had all the amenities of a surface towns.
