Nevşehir – Nar - Sulusaray

Characteristics of the Route:

The route starts from the modern buildings of Nevsehir city center, descends to Nar Valley with a green view, and passes by the town which inspired the book titled “The Women Of Nar”, in which the traveller Joyce Roper tells about the three years she lived in Nar (1970-1973). Leaving behind the town of Nar, built-in fairy chimneys, the paths follow the stream bed carved into the volcanic ash and end in the town of Sulusaray with a green view.

Notes to Travelers:

You can explore the huge settlement that resembles a labyrinth with tunnels and cave structures carved into the eastern slope of Nevsehir Castle.

You can try delicious menus of restaurants with different styles and standards in Nevsehir.

If you are hiking in early spring, you can see Convolvulus assyricus (yastikcik), an endemic species of Turkey, in May-June, Hedysarum cappadocicum (tatlitirfil) in May-August, and Macrotomia densiflora (koca egnik) on rocky and stony slopes.

Make sure your bicycle bottle is full as you won't find water on the route.

After completing the route, you can visit St. Jean Church with an entry fee and St. Dimitros Greek Church and Aciksaray Archeological Site free of charge.
