    Ihlara Canyon is 52 km. away from Underground City.Approximately 45 minutes later, you will be in the entrance of Ihlara Valley.Ihlara Valley was formed by the volcanic actions of Mt. Hasan, next to Ihlara Valley. Afterwards, Melendiz River eroded the valley for millions of years besides the layers cracked and fell down. Eventually, 80 meter- deep canyon was composed.

Pigeons have always been important for Cappadocian people. Their eggs and droppings were used for different purposes. For this reason, local people carved houses for them to the slopes of valley. You will see the reason why people call them “houses”, when you see them.

Wonderful tour! Veysel, our tour guide, was very knowledgeable and answered all our questions patiently and thoroughly. Underground city was otherworldly. The walk through the ihlara valley was peaceful which ended with a delicious lunch. Highly recommend!

Really super nice experience! We were picked up from our stay and brought back, lunch was also included as also water. Selim and our driver Feytullah did a great job and welcomed us very warmly and with good energy. Since hes born and raised in the area he knows literally everything and has a good historical and geological background! Would totally recommend this trip!
