Kavak - Gomeda Valley - Ürgüp

Notes to Travelers:

You can try delicious menus of restaurants with different styles in Urgup.

Keep your bicycle bottle and a spare water bottle full as you won't find water on the route.

You can visit Kilicaslan Gazi Tomb on Temenni Tepesi and enjoy the view at the cafe next to it.

Characteristics of the Route:

Starting from the Goreme valley system towards epic regions, half of the route follows narrow-single tracks, and the other half follows fast and open tractor roads between villages. This route has the fresh smell of the countryside on the Kavak village road and lets you enjoy the time slowing down in the coffeehouse of the village after passing through the fields.

Immediately after leaving the village, an enjoyable, bumpy BMX track with many different lines awaits the riders. The final difficult descent into the valley continues with stream crossings, wooden bridges, and rocky river beds on paths with the feeling of a forest. Passing by multi-story dovecotes carved into the rocks, the route reaches Urgup, a developed district, with a comfortable descent.
