Rose and Red Valley Hiking Tour

In the morning after breakfast, depart from hotel for the tour. Your English-speaking hiking guide will start the first day’s hike in the spectacular Rose & Red Valleys. From the top of the valley (Ortahisar Panorama), you will work your way down through grape vineyards dotted with apple, apricot and walnut trees.

The trails are well marked with breathtaking views on all sides – each trail has plateaus and valleys with ever-changing rock formations, colors and shapes along the way. There are many hidden cave churches to visit as well as small gardens and pigeon homes made from the cave dwellings. We will stop for tea and a boxed lunch at a beautiful viewpoint overlooking the heart of Cappadocia.

After lunch we make our way down to the village of Cavusin where we can explore the ancient cave city and famous church. We continue above Cavusin along the ridge of the cave villages and down to the beginning of Pasabag valley. In this area we will see some examples of hoodoos and  fairy chimneys in different shapes and sizes – and in various stages of being formed and eroding. Our driver will be waiting in front of the Big Pigeon Church (Büyük Güvercinlik Kilisesi) to drive you back to your hotel. The total hike is between 7-12km depending on the trails used.

Please note: the hiking routes are an example of a regular hiking/walking tour – changes may be made due to weather, fitness levels or other situations. Any changes will be discussed with you to ensure you have a hike that works for your interests, weather conditions and walking ability. The trails are mostly well-worn and easy to walk on, however, there are several steep trails going up and down the valleys, therefore good walking or hiking shoes are recommended as we will be walking on tufa (pressed volcanic ash) most of the time. Sunscreen, hats and sunglasses are necessities as there are few places with shade on these trails and the sun is very intense. All of these items can be purchased here in souvenir shops, if necessary.
