Ihlara Valley is a 14 km volcanic canyon carved by the Melendiz River, lined with 105+ fresco-painted rock churches where history meets nature.
Walking along shaded paths by the river is one of Cappadocia's most peaceful experiences.
Among the best-preserved frescoes.
Ideal village for a break and lunch.
