Pottery Making

An unforgettable Cappadocia experience awaits you - combine local wine and an extraordinary sunset over the stunning Red Valley, dotted with fairy chimneys. The town of Avanos is famous for producing earthenware pottery which has been produced in the Avanos area for centuries. Some of the techniques used to this day date back to 2000 BC and specifically to Hittite times. Locals take clay from the nearby Kızılırmak River (Red River) and turn it into perfectly formed pottery and ceramic pieces such as wine jugs.
