verifiedAskCappadocia says
Kaymaklı Underground City is one of Cappadocia's astonishing subterranean towns, a multi-level warren of carved tunnels, stables, kitchens, wine presses and chapels where whole communities sheltered from raiders. We picked it over its deeper neighbour Derinkuyu for travellers who find tight, low passages a little less daunting, its galleries feel wider and more navigable. It's part of the same UNESCO World Heritage landscape and just as atmospheric, with the great round stone doors that once sealed each level. Bring a light jacket, it's cool below, and skip it if you're strongly claustrophobic, as the connecting tunnels are genuinely low and narrow.
