The Love Valley is going to be our next attraction, especially for couples. Instagram lovers will be happy to click and capture instagram-friendly photos. There are props like love-swing, benches, and a vintage car. Note that the valley is wholly formed by the process of natural wind erosion over centuries.
Our next stop will be Göreme Open Air Museum where you’ll experience and enjoy some well preserved, rock-cut churches with frescoes and paintings dating from as early as the 10th century and the best examples of Byzantine art in Cappadocia.

People have been making pots from the local red clay since before the beginning of recorded history.

Our next stop will be Pasabağları also known as ‘Monks' Valley’. You will walk and climb around fairy chimneys of every shape and size. Paşabağları is best known for fairy chimneys which build up mushroom shapes, this is why it is also known as Mushroom Valley. The formations that once used as a seclusion place for the Monks.
Our last stop will be Devrent Valley, also known as the ‘Imagination Valley’. The valley is skirted by red-colored rocks in various shapes. Devrent Valley has many fairy chimneys in fantastic shaped rock formations.
