#July Travel Support Event Places to visit when traveling to Cappadocia 📍Paşabağ Vadisi Valley - 1. Küme, 50502 Çavuşin/Avanos/Nevşehir, Turkey It's famous for being the background of the cartoon Smurfs! The mushroom pillars were cute 🍄

📍Pasabaglar Valley 💵Pasabaglar and Zelve Valley National Parks combined cost 280 lira (Zelve-Pasabaglar archaeological site) 🪨These two national parks were designated as World Heritage Sites in 1985. This place was originally a vineyard🍇, but the government took over in 1990 for preservation. The rocks here are hard at the top while the bottom is soft and weak, so they are gradually worn away by weathering, and may disappear someday. The rocks that need more preservation are barricaded so that they cannot be accessed. #Overseas travel

If you are looking for a place to marvel at the wonders of nature and history, Paşabağ Vadisi in Cappadocia is the perfect destination for you. This valley, also known as the Monks Valley, is famous for its fairy chimneys, the peculiar rock formations that dot the landscape. These chimneys have a conical shape with a basalt cap on top, resembling mushrooms or hats. They were formed by the erosion of the volcanic tuff by wind and water over millions of years. Paşabağ Vadisi is not only a natural attraction, but also a cultural and religious one. In the past, this valley was a retreat for Christian monks, who carved cells, chapels, and churches into the chimneys. You can still see some of these structures today, such as the Chapel of St. Simeon, dedicated to a hermit who lived on top of a pillar for 37 years. You can also climb inside some of the chimneys and experience the solitude and spirituality of the monks. Paşabağ Vadisi is located in the heart of Cappadocia, a region that boasts many other amazing sights, such as the Göreme Open Air Museum, the underground cities of Kaymaklı and Derinkuyu, and the pottery town of Avanos. #christmastrip
