Pigeon Valley

verifiedAskCappadocia berkata

Pigeon Valley is the scenic trail that links Göreme to the hilltop village of Uçhisar, named for the thousands of dovecotes that locals carved into the soft rock to harvest pigeon droppings as fertiliser. We picked it as the easiest way to actually walk through Cappadocia's landscape rather than just look at it, a gentle few kilometres of cave dwellings, pigeon houses and earth pillars. The full route is roughly four kilometres and mostly flat, with a short climb up to Uçhisar at the end where the famous evil-eye tree and big views wait. Wear sturdy shoes, carry water in summer, and walk it in the cooler morning or late afternoon.
