Things to do in Goreme

Pigeon Valley is worth visiting for both the viewpoint and the history behind the rock-cut dovecotes. The small openings in the cliffs were used for pigeons, whose droppings helped fertilise local vineyards and orchards.I visited from the Uçhisar side. The viewpoint works well as a short stop, while the full trail to Göreme is about 4.1 km. According to the official sign, the average walking time is around 3.5 hours. The path is narrow and uneven, with steep sections and some risk of falling rocks, so proper walking shoes, water and sun protection are important.A very interesting place once you know what the holes in the cliffs were actually used for.

The huge rock cliffs are very spectacular and appear rose-red, especially at sunset in the evening. Standing across the valley, you can see the entire view. There are trails in the canyon that lead to the campsite.

Amazing work of nature where the entire valley is sculpted by nature into different shapes and sizes. from the Camel, to penguins, a pair of kissing ducks, upside down bear etc. Worth a visit before the landscape changes again over the years.

The three naturally formed stones are like snuggling up to their mother.

I walked around here and it looked pretty good. The name is Hope Mountain. I am generally satisfied when I come here.

The church is beautiful, elegant, antique and extremely beautiful.

The cultural and historical buildings from the ancient Roman Empire era have been preserved to this day.

The Mausoleum of the Father of the Nation of Turkey is a very large area, consisting of many unique buildings. The environment here is very elegant and solemn. It is a large and quiet resting place. The Father of Turkey is also a very legendary figure, and there are many things to commemorate him.

On the way from Ankara to Cappadocia, we passed by Lake Tuz, and the travel agency arranged it as a tourist attraction. The bus stopped by the roadside and passed through a store and entered Lake Tuz. The store sells special souvenirs and salt from Lake Tuz, which is said to be used for cleaning. The part of Lake Tuz we entered had no water, but only salt. Since there are no buildings around, the lake and the sky are connected. It is very suitable for taking pictures, and taking pictures of people can also produce very good results. The lake feels very large, but due to the short time, we did not go too far inside, which is a pity. Because of Lake Tuz, I feel that Ankara is worthwhile.

Everything was amazing... I was impressed that the Quran from around the 4th century was well preserved and exhibited. There didn't seem to be any particular dress code, but you do need to wear shoe covers, which are distributed at the entrance before entering. There are people praying inside, so it's best to stay quiet and wear clothes that expose as little as possible.
