Notes to Travelers:

If you start cycling at sunrise, you can ride with hot air balloons above you.

If you are hiking in autumn, you can taste the delicious apples, quince, and grapes growing in the valley.

You can find beverages suitable to your taste such as tea, coffee, and fruit juice in the modest cafe you will see in the valley.

You can try one of the restaurants with different styles in Cavusin.

You can visit the Seljuk Mosque in Cavusin Town, the charming "historical house" on the cobblestone road that goes up by the mosque, and St. John the Baptist Chapel (Aziz Yahya Kilisesi), which you will reach after a few minutes' walk at the end of the road. You can have pleasant moments on the plateau above St. John the Baptist Chapel, which offers wonderful photos with its impressive view.

Characteristics of the Route:

The route starts in Cavusin, an old settlement built on the junction of the famous valleys on the skirts of Bozdag, visits the gigantic fairy chimneys of Love Valley and reaches the ridge that overlooks the valley after a short ascent. The route follows an enjoyable trail through the spacious and open view of the ridge and ends by descending on a short but sharp ramp to Goreme, the town carved into fairy chimneys.
