    Your day will start with being picked up at your accommodation by vehicle We will then make our way to the start of our hike near Uçhısar. First, we will walk through Whıte Valley where I will explain more about the history and geology of the area and where we can try local fruıts and plants when in season. As we make our way down the valley we will slowly enter Love Valley. There are many fairy chimneys with unique shapes to explore in this aptly named valley. After a refreshment stop, I will show you a cave that is furnıshed with beds that can still be used today. This will give a much better idea of how people lived in these caves. We now move to Red and Rose Valleys to explore many cave houses and pigeon houses. A particular highlight is visiting two churches in these valleys that are very well preserved. Lunch will be provided by me and we will have a longer break to properly enjoy the food and the spectacular views from the cafe. We will be able to marvel at the beautiful and vibrant colours of the landscape as we make our way further through the Red and Rose Valleys. The hike will finish in the oldest vıllage in the heart of Cappadocia, Çavuşin, with its imposing castle ruin and 5th-century church with frescoes.

a mysterious room behind a wall in his home while renovating. Further
