   Devrent Valley hides many different rock formations within. The small fairy chimneys in the valley

   form a lunar landscape, or moonscape, by their strange appearance. The valley has many animal-shaped

   rocks. Some of the most commonly seen shapes include camel, snake, seals, and dolphin

   2 ore Intrarea inclusă

   GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM, Cappadocia's most famous attraction, for good reason, is the Göreme

   Open Air Museum, a complex of medieval painted cave churches carved out by Orthodox monks.

   There are over 10 cave churches in the Göreme Open Air Museum. Along with rectories, dwellings, and

   a religious school, they form a large monastic complex carved out of a roughly ring-shaped rock

   formation in the otherworldly landscape of Cappadocia. The best way to explore the cave churches of

   Goreme is via the clearly marked path, working counterclockwise. Each one has a modern Turkish

   name, given by local villages based on a prominent feature.

   Uchisar

   20 min

   UCHISAR is a troglodyte village situated 4 km east of Göreme. It is famous for the huge rock formation

   once used as a fortification. This extraordinary rock is the highest peak in the region and offers a

   magnificent panoramic view of the whole of Cappadocia with Mt. Erciyes in the distance.Most rooms

   in the castle are connected to each other with stairs, tunnels and passages. At the entrances of many

   rooms, there are millstone doors, just like the ones in the underground settlements, used to control

   access to these places. Due to erosion it is unfortunately not possible to reach all the rooms. Most of the

   rooms, located on the north side of the castle are still in use as pigeon houses (dovecotes) today. Farmers

   used these pigeon houses to collect the droppings of pigeons which is an excellent natural fertilizer for

   the orchards and vineyards

Over time, they had a child. The fairy sultan, however, was even more enraged when he heard this news and sent his soldiers to find the shepherd and his daughter. When the fairy sultan's daughter saw the soldiers approaching from afar, she prayed to God to keep her and her family from being separated. As the story goes, her wish was granted, and the three of them transformed into three beautiful fairy chimneys, remaining together forever

1. 1

   Pigeon Valley

   20 min

   PIGEON VALLEY, thousands of pigeon houses carved into the rock. It is a surreal

   vision: an outrageously phallic landscape straight out of a Salvador Dali painting. The

   conical formations are the result of volcanic eruptions that took place millions of years

   ago. Eons of wind, rain and other forces of nature have eaten away at the volcanic rock

   creating tufa, a soft and malleable stone. Many of these cones, known as fairy chimneys,

   contain caves and labyrinths

   Love Valley

   A feud broke out between two families living in the village, and the village was unfortunately divided into two separate regions.

Word of the love between these two young people at first sight spread throughout the village, and the hostility between the two villages intensified. Spells were cast, and numerous fights broke out. Despite everything, the two young people, relentless, married.n the intervening years, children were born to these young people. The story of Love Valley perhaps witnessed its most painful moments during this period. Unwilling to see the war end, the villagers killed the man, and the woman committed suicide.
