Join me as I explore the hidden wonders of Turkey's underground cities. In this video, I delve into 26 of these remarkable subterranean marvels. Some include famous cities such as Derinkuyu Underground City, Kaymaklı Underground City and others but most are not widely known or reported on. These Ancient Cities under the ground, held various functions and spanned many Ancient Civilizations.

Did you know that Turkey has over 200 Underground City complexes? Many of which remain unexplored, waiting to be excavated and opened to the public. AND there are more being discovered every year.

Each of these underground cities are carved out of rock, at a time where primitive tools were the only tools available, such as hammers and chisels. We're still unsure who built them and the evidence for dating is sketchy at best, but they spanned many era's including Roman, Byzantine and Ottoman.

Derinkuyu is the largest underground city in Turkey, but there are many other hidden gems. Turkey is rich in cultural heritage and these cities are no different, attracting millions of visitors each year.

Each underground city in Turkey offers a unique glimpse into the past, revealing how these subterranean habitats provided safety and community for their inhabitants.

Though I've explored 26 of these fascinating sites, Turkey has a vast network of over 200 underground cities, which is nothing short of extraordinary. BUT most of them are unknown to the public. If you do have any others you have found, please do let me know so I can add them to the list for others.

From my research I found 32 of Turkey's Ancient Underground Cities (listed below), however over 200 exist, with lots being in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. Several underground cities connect with one another.

Here is the list of underground cities below should you wish to explore them in more detail. Some have had a lot more media coverage than others and some are not open to the public yet, partially open/explored or have been discovered recently.
