1. Devrent Valley which is also well known as Imagination Valley. We enjoy our time here to take photographs of interesting rock formations, so called “fairy chimneys” and we listen the mysterious stories and geological explanation of our guide. We see a lot of natural rock formations in this valley which reminds us of some animals such as a camel or a snake.

2. Pasabag valley is the number one location where we can see biggest fairy chimney formations and all steps of the erosion. Pasabag Valley is also known as ''Monks Valley''. This name comes from mystic storiesof the monks who used to live here in their rock-cut hermit cells. Here we discover a monastic complex including a chapel dedicated to St. Simeon (Simon) that was carved into natural fairy chimney formations.

3. The longest river of Turkey, the Kızılırmak (Red River), runs through Avanos. The most famous historical feature of Avanos is its production of earthenware pottery. The ceramic clay from the old banks of the Kızılırmak has always been used throughout the ages by local artisans. We watch a demonstration of making traditional pottery and enjoy this spectacular art.

4. Goreme Open Air Museum is a monastic complex from medieval era. It is the most visited sight in Cappadocia region. As one of the biggest but certainly the best preserved Greek Orthodox monastery the cave churches here were painted with scenes of old and New Testament dating from the 10th to the 12th centuries. Outstanding conditions of these Byzantine frescoes are a must-see attraction. Apart from these cave churches here we visit communal areas of the monastic complex such as refectories, kitchens, storages etc. Goreme Open Air Museum is considered as one of the best places to see on earth for the Byzantine era frescoes.

About Göreme

Göreme ligt in het hart van Cappadocië, een surrealistisch landschap van schoorsteenrotsen, grotkerken en ochtendluchten vol heteluchtballonnen.

De huizen en hotels van Göreme zijn uitgehouwen in zacht vulkanisch gesteente, en het stadje wordt omringd door valleien met kegelvormige schoorsteenrotsen die door erosie zijn gevormd. Het Openluchtmuseum van Göreme verzamelt in de rotsen uitgehouwen kloosters en kerken waarvan de fresco's, geschilderd door Byzantijnse monniken, nog steeds van kleur gloeien, vooral in de Donkere Kerk.

Top-ranked sights in Göreme: Pigeon Valley (Güvercinlik Vadisi), Devrent Valley (Devrent Vadisi), Monks Valley (Pasabag Vadisi).
