2. Nestled between the towns of Göreme and Uçhisar, Pigeon Valley (Turkish: Güvercinlik Vadisi) is one of Cappadocia’s most scenic and historically rich hiking trails.

The valley offers a tranquil and moderately easy hiking route, stretching approximately 4 kilometers (2.5 miles), surrounded by fairy chimneys, lush greenery, and bizarre rock formations. The trail is dotted with orchards, vineyards, and remnants of ancient dwellings and churches hidden in the rock faces.

About Ürgüp

Ürgüp is a town in the heart of Cappadocia, in central Turkey, where soft volcanic rock has been carved into fairy chimneys, cave houses and churches.

Ürgüp lies in Nevşehir Province in the middle of Cappadocia, a plateau where volcanic ash settled into soft tuff that wind and water have worn into spires, cones and ridges known as fairy chimneys. Houses, stables and churches have been cut straight into the rock here for centuries, and some of the town's old cave dwellings are now guesthouses. Narrow streets of stone houses climb the hillside above the main square.
