Do not recommend to people with claustrophobia. The path is narrow, queues outside and inside. Ticket price is very expensive.

Overall, an interesting place. Atmospheric. We were after Kaymakla. And Derinkuyu liked it a little less. Most likely because of the crowds inside. The atmosphere is getting lost. Queues at the entrance. And they move surprisingly slowly. I didn't really like that there are a lot of new stairs in Derinkuyu, which are different in style. It was possible to artificially age it somehow, so as not to disturb the harmony. And some kind of electrical panels on the walls, it would be possible to disguise. Many passages are closed. There is no such maze as from Kaymakly. And there are no listed disadvantages either. If you choose one of the objects, then Kaymakly. And in principle, there is not much point in visiting both, because they are of the same type.

It's amazing how all this has been preserved in this form. How people lived there, how they dug it all, how the Nicknames didn't get confused in these tunnels, it's not clear at all. Very interesting. But large or tall people will not pass through there, they may get stuck, very narrow and low passages. It's hard to imagine how a woman, for example, cooked a large pot of soup and dragged it through these narrow tunnels to feed the household. Pets also lived there with them. How they could have been dragged there, I don't know 🤷♀️
