I should point out that these Cappadocia posts are not in the correct order but I don’t think it really matters.
We had arranged to go for 2 x 1 day walks with the guide known locally as Walking Mehmet, and his dog Sarki. We ended up doing a 5 hour walk to Uchisar and back via Love Valley and Bee valley on the first outing and then a full day (7 hours) on the second outing to Rose valley. Both good walks but I enjoyed Rose Valley the best, especially the opportunity to clamber around inside one of the pigeon houses, the “hidden” church and the pomegranate juice stall in the middle of nowhere – at least that’s what it felt like.

 going up to get into a church |  coming down inside a pigeon house |
 Limestone waves rather than limestone caves |  room for 84 pigeon nests on this level |
 Looks like just another cave house right? |  But there’s a church in there! |
 Who would have thought!! |  Clear the path – Sarki with small stick coming through  |
Looks like climbing skills are required for this walk. Those wave formations are stunning.
ReplyDeleteI really loved the wave formations and yes, being able to climb a bit did help when exploring those pigeon houses.
