Turkey Trip - Pigeon Valley

Pigeon Valley is a natural landscape and one of the few concentrated areas of pigeon caves in the Cappadocia region. In this beautiful valley, there are large rocks everywhere, covered with pigeon holes of various sizes, which were used by ancient people to collect pigeon droppings as fertilizer. Above the valley of Pigeon Valley, there are two old trees, one of which is hung with "blue eyes" - Teresa's eye (a blue pendant that is popular among Turks as a talisman), and the other is hung with famous local ceramic products. The towering rock in the distance is Uchisar Castle, which is said to have been hollowed out by early residents from this huge rock 60 meters high and built into interconnected fortresses to resist external invasion. The view from afar is spectacular, and the power of time erosion is amazing.
