Meskendir Valley: The Meskendir Valley is located between Çavuşin and the city of Goreme. This valley stretches for 4.4 km and surprises with its unearthly landscape. You will find many dwellings carved into the rock. People lived here until the beginning of the 20th century, later some apartments were converted into dovecotes. To see the 11th-century Meskender Church one must climb up the valley, which is not a difficult task on horseback. You will definitely be amazed by the breathtaking view!

Red Valley: During the Cappadocia horseback riding tour, you can visit the amazing Red Valley, named after the color of its rocks. In the valley you have the opportunity to see the Üzümlü Church. It was built in the 8th century and named after the Stylite Nikitas who lived there.

Rose Valley: This mesmerizing valley got its name thanks to its pink rocks, which look particularly charming at sunset. You will be amazed by several cave churches and dwellings in the valley from the 7th to 11th centuries.

Çavuşin: Çavuşin is the oldest settlement in Cappadocia. Old churches and monasteries carved into the rock are the most interesting buildings in the village. Built in the 5th century, the Church of Saint John the Baptist is one of the most famous churches in Cappadocia.

You can take amazing photos in the ancient city of Çavuşin, which looks like a Swiss cheese due to rockfall and erosion.

Sword Valley: Sword Valley is named after rock formations that stand tall and resemble swords and daggers. In this valley you will also see many dwelling houses, churches and dovecotes that were bent into rock many centuries ago. Beautiful frescoes with images of saints are still clearly visible in some churches.

Swords Valley also has a hot air balloon launch site. Joining the tour at sunrise allows you to capture incredible, colorful photos with balloons floating in the background.

Love Valley: Liebestal will amaze your imagination with its peculiar rock formations that look like mushrooms. They are also called “fairy chimneys”. The height of the fairy chimneys ranges from 20 to 30 meters, even some giants reach 40 meters. They appeared due to a volcanic eruption millions of years ago. Ash and lava settled on the rocks. Over time, soft ash has been washed away and eroded due to rain and wind.
