1. Red Valley: This valley is a little more difficult to visit due to its small and complex structures. Therefore, it will be very enjoyable for you to visit here with the help of a tour chef. Touring this valley usually starts from the top of the valley. This way a more enjoyable trip is provided. The cut stones in the valley have a very impressive appearance. Due to various natural events, the color of these stones has become reddish.
2. Çavuşin Village: Çavuşin was a settlement of people living in this region in the past. So you will have the chance to see many houses here. But the houses here are different than you think. All of the houses were built by carving the rocks. The houses here are therefore called cave houses. These are cool houses that are easy to live in, especially in the summer heat of the region.
3. Pigeon Valley: This area has been used by pigeons for a long time since it was the route of the migration of pigeons in the past. There are many nests built by pigeons at various points of the valley. Therefore, the structures of the rocks and stones here have changed slightly over time. Many pits have formed in these rocks. That’s why it’s called Pigeon Valley. The panoramic view here is also very interesting.
4. Underground City: The different habitats in this area will impress you. Built hundreds of miles deep, the city has been a living space for Christians for centuries.
