We will start our full day of hiking at White Valley near Uchisar. While we make our way down the valley I will explain the geological formation and historical importance of the valleys. There will be opportunities to try local fruits on the way. We will then enter Love Valley and explore the rock formations that gave this valley its fitting name. We will stop here for a break in a local coffee place with lots of character. Refreshed we will make our way to Red Valley to explore ancient churches, pigeon houses and caves. For lunch, you will receive a freshly prepared meal in a cafe with panoramic views. Restored we will then explore a medieval church with frescoes. The way then winds itself along the cliffs with fantastic views over Rose Valley. The colors of the rock formations will be glowing rose, red and yellow. After enjoying these stunning views we will head to Cavusin where we can see the remains of a rock castle and the oldest cave church dating from the 5th Century AD. We will conclude our hike there.

My Great Nephew and I did two different day hikes with Erdin. They made our vacation. Erdin is kind, knowledgeable and generous and his itineraries are magnificent. This is the best value for money you will find. Do not hesitate to book this wonderful hike. The highlight of our whole trip was the hike from Uchisar to Pasabag via Love Valley, Red Valley and Rose Valley. 18km of pure bliss. We were hiking among the rock formations, exploring Hidden Churches, and learning about the abundance of the region as Erdin taught us how to spot wild garlic, walnuts, apples and grapes. He even made us a yummy picnic lunch. My Great Nephew got to do some adventurous climbing and exploring while I opted to wait with the bags. Erdin will tailor the hike to your comfort level. The Ihlara Valley hike also included a trip to the Underground City of Derinkuyu and a special bonus detour to the crater Lake Nars. Erdin showed us a stunning birds' eye view of the gorge we would hiking so that we could get a true perspective of where we were going. Along the way, he treated us to local cuisine and fresh squeezed juice. We went inside a number of cave churches and benefitted from Erdin's knowledge about them. Most Tours only take you part way into the Valley. We were literally the only people on the trail in the second 7km of the hike and the scenery was spectacular and very different from the first part of the hike. I cannot recommend Erdin highly enough.

Would 100% recommend this tour, we enjoyed the whole day and are so happy we booked! We spent the day going to different locations and learning the history of Cappadocia. The guide gave us water, snacks and even took a picnic lunch in his backpack which he made for us at the café which we thought was so thoughtful! We covered a lot of the valleys and even got to go into the buildings which was so interesting! He adapts the tour to suit abilities so is suitable for everyone. We managed to do 15km, he often takes photos in the best locations and is so knowledgeable You won't regret booking!

Un circuit qui propose une vue d'ensemble de la région, un festival pour les yeux. Notre guide, Erdin, nous promène dans ces belles vallées entre églises rupestres et cheminées de fées. Tout est compris, les jus de fruits, le pique-nique, les petits en-cas etc... Erdin parle de sa région avec passion. Je recommande absolument cette randonnée. Merci pour ce moment agréable.
