This Unesco World Heritage site is an essential stop on any Cappadocian itinerary.

Uçhisar Castle is crisscrossed by numerous underground passageways and rooms, which are now mostly blocked or impassable but which served as residential areas and, perhaps, cloisters in Byzantine times.

Güvercinlik Valley, starting from Uçhisar and extending to Göreme, is a valley with ancient caves consisting of a soft layer of lava and ashes. It takes its name from the dovecotes carved into soft rocks for the pigeons fed by the local people.

Cavusin Village can be found nestled between the towns of Avanos and Goreme, within a valley that has gradually widened over time. Once home to numerous Christian Orthodox families at the start of the 20th century, the village's houses were actively occupied until 1924, when a population exchange took place between Greece and Turkey.
Cavusin Village boasts houses that are carved into the surrounding rock formations. These structures have been shaped by natural elements like rain, wind, and earthquakes, resulting in many of their interiors being eroded. To reach the top of the village, visitors can follow a winding path that affords breathtaking views of Red Valley and Uchisar Castle. At the village's highest point, visitors will find the 5th-century Saint John the Baptist church, the second-oldest church in Cappadocia. This church contains a unique fresco depicting "The Murder of St. John," which has survived ruthless erasures.

Stop 8
