Devrent Valley, which is also known as Imaginary Valley and also as Pink Valley does not have cave churches like the other valleys of Cappadocia. There are no Roman castles or Roman tombs in Devrent Valley, either. Actually it was never inhabited. So what makes it so famous? The lunar landscape!

During the tour, visit a Pottery Workshop to observe the 4,000-year-old tradition of terracotta craftsmanship and watch skilled artisans create beautiful ceramics.

Red Valley is one of the most dramatic and colorful valleys in Cappadocia, named after its deep red volcanic cliffs formed over thousands of years. Famous for its panoramic viewpoints, unique hoodoos, and winding walking paths, Red Valley is considered the best sunset location in all of Cappadocia. Its rugged texture, sculpted rocks, and wide-open spaces make it a paradise for photographers, hikers, and landscape lovers.

The valley also features hidden cave dwellings and ancient rock-carved chapels that reflect the spiritual history of early Christian communities in the region. The natural red tones of the valley become especially vibrant during golden hour, providing unmatched scenery for unforgettable photos.

7

Rose Valley is one of Cappadocia’s most iconic landscapes, famous for its soft pink tones that glow beautifully during sunrise and sunset. Known for its surreal rock formations, ancient cave churches, and peaceful hiking trails, the valley offers a perfect blend of nature, geology, and early Christian heritage.

Ortahisar Castle is one of Cappadocia’s most impressive natural fortresses, rising dramatically from the center of the town with a height of nearly 90 meters. Carved entirely from soft volcanic tuff, the castle once served as a strategic lookout point and a shelter for local communities throughout history. From its panoramic viewpoint, visitors can enjoy breathtaking views of Cappadocia’s fairy chimneys, valleys, and traditional stone houses.
