What to Expect
Uchisar, a city built around a fortress rock with countless rooms, passages, and stairs. Discover millstone doors as seen in underground cities, impossible to open from the outside.
Open-Air Museum in Zelve. Witness the sharp magical chimneys and learn about the origin of cave settlements and why people abandoned their homes in the 1950s.
Avanos, the city of craftsmen. Its streets are filled with workshops selling clay pottery and various decorations. Local artisans create them using ancient techniques that have been passed down for over 15 centuries.
Pasabag Valley (Monks Valley) – a picturesque place with mushroom-shaped fairy chimneys. There is also a chapel dedicated to Simon the Stylite and a niche in the rock with the inscription 'Accept me, tomb' – believed to be the monk's burial site.
Dervent Valley (Valley of Imagination). The local rock formations resemble animals, humans, and objects – the result of wind erosion over millennia.
