Pigeon Valley, Cappadocia (Turkey)
Pigeon valley is situated between Greme and Uhisar and is ideal for walking as the trek is relatively easy. The name comes from the thousands of pigeon houses that have been carved into the soft tuff since ancient times. You can hike the Pigeon Valley between Greme and Uhisar. The 4km trail starts from the road near the Ataman Hotel on the south side of Greme or on the paved road on the north side of the hill where Uhisar Castle sits in Uhisar. Both trailheads are signed. Stick to the more traveled trails and you will have no trouble finding your way on this moderately hilly hike. The path through the valley offers spectacular views of the natural cliffs and the man-made caves and passes through a few tunnels carved into the rock.
