Cappadocia

Cappadocia may be famous for its unique rock formations – called ‘fairy chimneys’ – but it’s hiking trails are equally unique and worth exploring. Generally speaking, each hike in Cappadocia focuses on a valley. Favorites include Pigeon Valley (2.5 miles), Love Valley (2.5 miles), Red Valley (1 to 3 miles), Rose Valley (3 miles), Zemi Valley (4 miles), Sword Valley (2 miles), Zelve Valley (1 to 4.5 miles), and Ihlara Valley (2 to 9 miles). The beauty is that many trails connect with one another, either directly or via short distances. So you can mix and match hikes to create a distance of your own choosing.
