The rock formed by the erupted lava went through the erosion of rain and wind over a long period of time to create the shape it is today. * Goreme is densely populated with cave sites used as hiding places for monks in the past. In particular, it belongs to the Byzantine Empire in the 4th century, and cultural heritages of that time are left here and there. In 1985, UNESCO designated Cappadocia and Goreme as World Heritage Sites. – Walk in Rose Valley Valley or Ehlara Valley * Optional tour: Cappadocia Jeep Tour (90 €) * Suntourism: Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Tour (350 €: “In case of bad weather, it can be done from Pamukkale”) – After dinner, stay at the hotel and rest * Hotel: YUNAK EVLERI or equivalent |
