Then, we drive around 1 hour to start the hike in the longest canyon of Turkey. Ihlara Valley, once called Peristrema, as much for the scenery and the hike as for the churches, which are small and mostly semi-ruined. It holds about 50 Byzantine churches, chapels, monasteries and hermit caves dating from the 11th to 13th centuries. Good news! You do not have to visit them one by one. Our guide will take you to Saint Daniel's Church and explain you every single detail used in decorations. Then we hike 4 kms on a nice trail until we reach Belisırma. We have the lunch at a local restaurant by Melendiz River in this ''bellissima'' town. After the lunch, we set off for Selime Monastery, which has the biggest religious building in Cappadocia with a cathedral-size church.

Lastly, we stop at Pigeon Valley, which has hundreds of old pigeon houses cut into the rock in the past. Throughout centuries farmers have used pigeon droppings for fertilizer in their fields. Finally, our guide and driver will drop you off at your hotel with a lot of unforgetable stories and memories.
