#chillandthrill Pigeon Valley is just as fascinating as its name sounds. This beautiful valley, nestled between Goreme and Uchisar, is famous for the hundreds of pigeon houses carved into the soft rock formations. As I walked through the valley, I couldn’t help but be amazed at how these ancient pigeon lofts have been used for centuries. The pigeons themselves are a huge part of the region’s history—locals would collect their droppings for fertilizer, and the birds have played a vital role in agriculture. The trail itself is stunning, with towering rock formations, green valleys, and flowers scattered along the path. The quiet and solitude make it the perfect spot to clear your mind. It’s easy to get lost in the beauty of the valley and the unique history behind it. Don’t forget to look up as you walk—you’ll see the pigeons flying overhead, adding to the magical atmosphere. #PigeonValley #CappadociaHistory #NatureWalks #RockCarvings #HikingInCappadocia #PigeonLofts #ExploreMore #TranquilEscape

#turkiye #travel This place was once where people trained pigeons in the past. The pigeon houses, carved into the volcanic rock mountains, also showcase the impressive craftsmanship of ancient people. The viewpoint offers a stunning view of these pigeon houses on the opposite side of the mountains, which are incredibly beautiful. It is believed that pigeons bring good luck, and you’ll notice many symbolic blue-eye talismans (known as “Nazar Boncuğu”) hanging from trees all around the area. These decorative charms also represent good luck and protection. We had a wonderful time at Pigeon Valley, enjoying the breathtaking views. To warm ourselves up, we sipped on hot tea at a cozy café perched on the edge of the cliff—an unforgettable experience. This is definitely a great spot for visitors to relax and take in the unique beauty of Cappadocia.

#Overseas travel Pigeon Valley, a valley visited during a trip to Cappadocia. It is characterized by small caves carved into the cliffs in various places to raise pigeons. Pigeons were used in the past to obtain fertilizer and to convey messages, and they are said to have played an important role in this region. Perhaps because of this, just by looking at the pigeon houses located on the cliffs and rocks of the valley, I was able to get a glimpse of the traditions and lifestyle of this region. Pigeon Valley offers a unique experience with its steep valleys and rocky cliffs. In particular, the Pigeon Valley Observatory offers a panoramic view of the valley behind it, with countless pigeons flying around, and I was amazed by its vastness. It is much more magnificent than it looks in pictures, so if you visit Goreme, I recommend you stop by! #Goreme #Cappadocia #Turkiye #TurkiyeTravel #Turkey #TurkeyTravel #RecommendedTurkeyTravelDestinations #CappadociaTravel #PigeonValley

Five days and four nights of contact, from the hot air balloon at 5:30 in the morning to the pink sunset in the evening, every day is a new adventure, always sighing, how can Cappadocia be so beautiful. A friend said: Sitting on a hot air balloon and watching a hot air balloon on land is a different experience. When you come to Goreme, take a hot air balloon and catch a hot air balloon. Watch the hot air balloon either on the high observation deck or in the location closest to the hot air balloon. We got up early several times and watched the hot air balloon in three places, and the pictures were completely different. In the observation deck on the hills of the town, you can overlook the whole town. At night, you can see the lights brightly lit. In the morning, you can see the hot air balloons rising slowly. Hot air balloon time after 5 o'clock, as the sun rises to perfection at the moment of sunrise, but be sure to wear more clothes to prevent a cold. Many people have been waiting for the rise of the hot air balloon when we arrived.

Slowly the sun gradually came out, and a romantic hot air balloon gradually left our sight. This fairytale scene is so wonderful! I am the most romantic thing with you, then I will sit on a hot air balloon and grow old together.
