The Ihlara Valley was created by the cracking and collapsing of basalt and lava from mount Hassandag. The Melendiz river found its way through these cracks, eroding the canyon bed and helping the formation of the canyon we see today.
After hiking in this valley, we will have a fresh lunch in the Ihlara Valley and continue to Selime, a village located at the end of the canyon : fairy chimneys rest on the steep hillside and a basilica style cathedral, the Selime Sultan tomb, a hollowed citadel and some churches are among the curiosities to discover in this place.
We will also stop at Yaprakhisar village to take some pictures before we proceed to Derinkuyu, another underground city.
Our last stop of the day is the Pigeons’ Valley, an ideal place to enjoy the panoramic view.
