Camping & Walking Tours :Walking is an adventure anywhere, but in Cappadocia it is extra exciting, there are several peaks to climb, and numberless inviting trails. Cappadocia is a paradise both for the stroller, and the ardent trekker. For people with more time we can arrange three-day/two-night combined walking and camping tours. Below is one of our guide’s ideas but the possibilities are endless: Day 1 Walk from Goreme through the Pigeon Valley to Uchisar. Then continue into the Honey Valley and Rose Valley for a barbecue and to pitch camp.

Day 2 Walk through the Rose Valley to Cavusin and Zelve and then through the Devrent Valley to Ortahisar. Take a minibus to the Bird Paradise at Ovaciftlik to camp.

Day 3 Birdwatch by boat on the lake and then take a dip in the hot spring at Bayramhacili before returning to Goreme.

Free trekking Picnicking may be great fun but often people get forgetful and leave the remains of their meal behind them. At certain times of year our guides organises special tours for people who wouldn’t mind bringing along a plastic bag to help clean-up the valleys.

Trekking in Rose Valley (6 km): Five hours approx. Suitable for mostpeople This particularly popular walk takes you from Goreme to Cavusin along a wonderful valley lined with rose-coloured rocks. On the way we stop to explore several rock-cut churches, some of them decorated with frescoes.

Trekking Pigeon Valley (3 km) 1-1/2 hours approx. Tricky in places.Another very popular walk, this one takes you from Goreme to Uchisar along a valley that was only ever inhabited by pigeons whose old houses line the valley walls.
