Hike in Cappadocia

Red Valley, also known as Kızılçukur Valley, is a 15-minute drive from Göreme, close to Ortahisar. It is a wonderful spot to watch the sunset, as the rare red tuff rocks make the light even more remarkable. You can hike along small paths and see cave churches and vineyards along the way.

Visit Çavuşin village, a Greek town whose history goes back to the Early Christian period. The rock-cut buildings have collapsed because of erosion, but the churches are still in place and are used as dovecotes.

Then visit the Göreme Valley, consisting of steep cliffs and many hidden churches dating from the second half of the 9th century.
