Just a few trinket shops and a typical valley view. We visited it as a part of an organised day trip, not recommended if doing it on your own. Several similar spots like this near Goreme. More

Pigeon valley is a wonderful place to walk through. You can't get lost as there are no alternative paths. More

Wonderful hike through the valley. Wear good shoes and light clothing (if coming in the warmer seasons). Many photo ops! More

The trail goes from Uchisar to Göreme. Gorgeous views of both towns and landscape. But beware against getting lost. More

Good for a photo opp, but there's a lot of stunning landscapes competing in Cappadocia, so I wont say it's one of the best. If you have little time, you can give this a miss. More

The pigeon valey was also part of the tour though we did not stay there for more than 15 mins. It seemed more of the same and I think 15 mins was all that it was worth. It is interesting to see. More

Trails in and out of the valley are everywhere, there are billions of rocks to climb and cave structures to explore, and the view of Uchisar Castle is AMAZING! Definitely go! More

If you love open air spaces and great outdoor sights, this is the place to take a leisurely trek through. Make sure you take plenty of water with you and sun cream to avoid sun burns. The sights are lovely and if you have the time and inclination, just find a comfortable vantage point and sit back to enjoy the... More
