Around Cappadocia you will find a lot of day hikes. This is because the landscape in this part of the world can be quite interesting. The valley I hiked through today was an interesting 4.5km trip called Love Valley, close to Göreme.
Can you figure out why they named it Love Valley?
All of these rock formations are natural, nothing is man made. Since the rock is soft, you will see areas that have been tunnelled through though. This makes the hike interesting, since you often pass through tunnels and caverns to stay on the trail.
Here is a more up close look at some of the formations!
I welcome comments, bearing in mind that I may be forced to moderate some of them 🙂
Are you hiking on your own or with fellow backpackers?
Both hikes started out on my own, but I met up with people along the way. For tomorrow I joined a hiking day trip, so there will be a group. The trails are badly marked, so a good nap and GPS on a smartphone help!
That would be map, although a good nap helps too!
If you are getting a strong signal you are probably not far enough away.
No mobile signal in the valley, but there are not many places left on Earth where you can't get GPS 🙂
