What was life like in Derinkuyu?
Though not ideal for the claustrophobic, these ancient cultures tried to make life as comfortable—and safe—as possible in the underground city. Long shafts measuring up to 180 feet provided ventilation, while large, round stone doors weighing up to 1,000 pounds ensured that invaders could not gain entry into the underground city.
-------------------------------------------------------------
Aside from chapels for worship, there are also areas for livestock and numerous wells to provide drinking water. Communal rooms, stables, wine cellars, and oil presses all point to a vibrant replication of aboveground life below the earth. And what about all the waste? That was stored in pots and then transported aboveground whenever possible.

Derinkuyu Today
Open to the public since 1965, the Derinkuyu underground city, along with nearby Kaymaklı, is a well-known tourist attraction in the region. While only 8 of the 18 levels are viewable, it’s an incredible opportunity to see man’s ability to adapt to their circumstances.

#1 Located in Cappadocia, the central Anatolian region of Turkey, the subterranean city is one of over 200 in the area.The cutaway map above shows part of the underground city of Derinkuyu as it would have appeared at its peak during the Byzantine era.
#2 The underground city was most likely used for defensive purposes, with large stone discs used to barricade the doors.
The city is the largest of of over 200 underground cities discovered so far in Cappadocia, Turkey.
#3 Derinkuyu underground city, now a tourist attraction, stretches over 250 feet below grounds, and at 18 storeys, is the world’s deepest subterranean metropolis.
-------------------------------------------------------------
The city itself extended to a depth of 60m (200 ft) and is believed to have sheltered up to 20,000 people, along with livestock and additional food stores.

Amazingly, the tunnels were only fully abandoned in 1923, when the Christian inhabitants of Turkey were forcibly exchanged with Muslims living in Greece.

The tunnels were then only rediscovered in 1963, and opened to tourists in 1969, with around half the city currently accessible to the public.
