Camping & Walking Tours (Private): For people with more
time we can arrange three-day/two-night combined walking and camping
tours. Below is one of our guide’s ideas but the possibilities
are endless:
Day 1 Walk from Goreme
through the Pigeon Valley to Uchisar. Then
continue into the Honey Valley and Rose Valley
for a barbecue and to pitch camp.
Day 2 Walk through the
Rose Valley to Cavusin and Zelve and then
through the Devrent Valley to Ortahisar.
Take a minibus to the Bird Paradise at Ovaciftlik
to camp.
Day 3 Birdwatch by boat
on the lake and then take a dip in the hot
spring at Bayramhacili before returning to
Goreme.
Free trekking Picnicking
may be great fun but often people get forgetful
and leave the remains of their meal behind
them. At certain times of year our guides
organises special tours for people who wouldn’t
mind bringing along a plastic bag to help
clean-up the valleys.
Trekking in Rose Valley Length
6 kms Time: Five hours approx. Suitable for
mostpeople This particularly popular walk
takes you from Goreme to Cavusin along a
wonderful valley lined with rose-coloured
rocks. On the way we stop to explore several
rock-cut churches, some of them decorated
with frescoes.
Trekking Pigeon Valley Length
3 kms Time 1-1/2 hours approx. Tricky in
places.Another very popular walk, this one
takes you from Goreme to Uchisar along a
valley that was only ever inhabited by pigeons
whose old houses line the valley walls.
Trekking at Honey Valley
Length: 4 kms Time: Two hours approx.
Fewer people explore the beautiful Honey
Valley, which runs behind Goreme village
and is named after the soft honey colour
of its rock. Until 1983 bees were also reared
in this valley so you will see hive holes
cut in the rock along the way
