Valley in Goreme
Love Valley
Love Valley is a hiking trail through a landscape of tall, phallic fairy chimneys and eroded rock formations north of Goreme. Free to hike. The trail descends from the rim into the valley and takes about two hours. Budget travelers walk from Goreme village without any guide or fee and see the most surreal rock formations in Cappadocia from ground level, which is arguably more impressive than the view from a hot air balloon.
