One of Turkey's most visited valleys, the pink and red valley of Cappadocia offers many surprises for travellers. With its flamboyant colours – all the more so at sunrise and sunset– this valley is criss-crossed by several hiking trails suitable for all levels. Don't forget to wear comfortable footwear suitable for hiking: the rocky paths can sometimes be slippery.
One of the best-known and most popular routes in the valley forms a loop of around 8 kilometres. This walk, which takes around 2 hours 15 minutes (or more, depending on the length of your photo stops), will give you a great overview of the surrounding area and allow you to admire some exceptional panoramas. Along the way, don't forget to stop off at some of the rock churches. These are carved out of the rock and adorned with frescoes dating back thousands of years, and are not to be missed.
