Pigeon Valley: A Fantastic Coffee Stop With Best View in Cappadocia
Located to the east of Uçhisar, Güvercinlik Valley is one of the greatest and tallest valleys of Cappadocia. While one end of the valley approaches Nevşehir - Ürgüp asphalt, the other end extends to Göreme. The tiny river bed from the end of the valley continues to Avanos and Kızılırmak.
Güvercinlik Valley is also an excellent trekking route. It is possible to see splendid natural formations very closely on this 4000 meter long track.
While watching the unique view of Güvercinlik Valley, man-made holes on the rocks will definitely attract your attention. These holes are holes that are carved by people for pigeons. In the times when pigeon breeding was in the foreground, people would benefit from the fertilizers of pigeons living and mating here. Besides pigeon fertilizers, that are good for the vineyards. The wine quality of this region comes from pigeons. Additionally, they used pigeon eggs in important places of worship such as the churches. Thanks to the pigeon eggs, the murals, named as frescoes on the walls, have survived to the present day.
The highest point to watch Pigeon Valley is Uçhisar Castle, the highest structure of the region. Uchisar Castle displays the magnificent view of the Güvercinlik Valley.
