Walking through the valleys of Cappadocia with a guide who was born here
About this experience
With love for native Cappadocia and knowledge about it, I invite you to this trekking tour! Walking through, you will see that this region is much more than hot air balloons. You will explore three untouched valleys and cave churches, enjoy the views without hurry and bustle. You will understand the history of the region and see it through the eyes of a local resident.
What to expect
We will go trekking through the part of Cappadocia that is perfect for hiking: here you will find easy trails, alien landscapes, and ancient cave churches. So, in our route:
The Red Valley, where the peaceful atmosphere of the region is especially felt. The valley is called the apple of Cappadocia's eye. In the summer season, you will see it in orange shades, in winter - in pastel tones under the snow. Here we will visit the first rock church - Direkli from the 11th century. Also, if you want to admire the sunset, we will fulfill this wish right in the Red Valley.
The Rose Valley, or Güllüdere, which can only be reached on foot. You will see many natural pigeonhouses, ancient homes of monks, and the Church of the Three Crosses.
The Valley of Swords - one of the locations in Cappadocia that sheds the most light on the region's past and the lives of the people who lived here. You will uncover the essence of its name and see the Church of St. Agathangelos.
