Things to do in Cappadocia, Turkey: The Best Valleys
Lying in south central Turkey, the moonscaped region of Cappadocia, southeast of Ankara, is most famous for unique geological features called fairy chimneys. The large, cone-like formations were created over time by erosion of the relatively soft volcanic ash around them. Past cultures have dug into them to create dwellings, castles (like Uchisar) and even entire underground cities like Kaymakli and Derinkuyu, used as hiding places by early Christians. Nearby Kayseri is the gateway to the area.

Among one of the world’s biggest canyons, the Ihlara is like an open-air museum, with its historical and natural beauty U should go down 382 steps of stairs to see the valley’s stunning landscape of course descend back ????While you hike, you’ll see the famous dwellings, hidden cave churches decorated with frescoes and houses located at the hills in different altitudes. The hours of hiking were worth it anyway and I got I good pictures

Plan ahead if you want to watch sunset 1. Magnificent valley with unique tower shaped rocks. 2. The weather in Cappadocia in winter is pretty unstable as it often rains and snow. 3. Make sure to check the weather forecast before planning to see the sunset there. 4. Great view with cool rocks. It’s worth a go if ur in Cappadocia.
