Story

Among the dazzling beauties of Nevsehir, the Lovers' Valley (Asiklar Vadisi) is one of the finest examples of how history and nature touch the human heart. In this landscape shaped by volcanic activity thousands of years ago, crimson and orange rock formations create a vivid painting in the sunlight. The valley takes its name from the legend that couples discovered their love within this sense of sanctity. One of the most important elements of the Cappadocia region's geological heritage, this area has drawn people in since the cave-dwelling ages. As important as its geological formations, this valley lies at the center of romantic tales. On early-morning walking tours you can discover hidden caves and natural bridges; experiencing this unique landscape from the eye of a bird on a hot-air balloon flight is priceless.
