One of the oldest underground cities in the region, Mazı dates back to the Hittite period. It has a single-entrance design for easy defence and features an impressive rolling stone door. Far less touristy than Derinkuyu or Kaymaklı.

Tatlarin Underground City
Discovered in the 1970s, Tatlarin is one of the largest underground complexes in Cappadocia yet remains off the usual tourist trail. A military zone and private rooms suggest it served as a garrison or administrative centre rather than just a refuge.
Pro Tip
The best time to visit is during the sunrise golden hour. Don't forget your camera!
