Kaymaklı is the site of one of the most extraordinary underground cities in the world — a Cappadocian village of 3,000 inhabitants whose underground city (extending at least 8 storeys below ground, carved into the volcanic tuff by early Christian communities seeking refuge from Roman and later Arab persecution) is the most visited and most accessible of all Cappadocia's underground complexes, receiving over 500,000 visitors annually. The Kaymaklı Underground City (first opened to visitors in 1964, approximately one-quarter of the total complex accessible to tourists) is distinguished by the extraordinary breadth of its passages — wider and more comfortable to navigate than Derinkuyu — and its remarkably complete preservation of ancient domestic infrastructure: wine presses, storage rooms, ventilation shafts, oil mills, stables and a church all clearly identifiable in the labyrinthine volcanic tuff interior.
The Kaymaklı Underground City forms part of the most remarkable underground urban landscape in the world — it is connected by an 8km subterranean tunnel to the deeper and more extensive Derinkuyu Underground City (9km to the south), and the broader Cappadocia region contains over 200 underground settlements of varying size, many connected by tunnels, sheltering populations estimated at up to 20,000 people during periods of persecution. The tunnel connecting Kaymaklı to Derinkuyu has never been fully excavated and represents one of the greatest unresolved archaeological puzzles of Cappadocia. The Güzelyurt valley (20km southwest of Kaymaklı, the most beautiful valley in the southern Cappadocia, with the finest collection of rock-cut churches outside Göreme) extends the heritage landscape.
Kaymaklı Underground City — Most Visited Underground Complex in Cappadocia: Kaymaklı Underground City (8+ storeys, carved by early Christian communities, first opened 1964) is the most visited underground city in Cappadocia — its wider passages, complete domestic infrastructure (wine presses, stables, oil mills, church, ventilation shafts) and the accessible quarter of the complex give the most comprehensible and most comfortable experience of Cappadocian underground architecture for general visitors.
8km Underground Tunnel to Derinkuyu — Most Remarkable Archaeological Mystery: The 8km subterranean tunnel connecting Kaymaklı to Derinkuyu Underground City (never fully excavated, its purpose and date of construction still debated) represents one of the most extraordinary feats of ancient engineering in Turkey — the two cities together could shelter an estimated 20,000 people indefinitely underground, with ventilation, water and food storage for long-term habitation.
