Itinerary description

Beautiful hike by 4 of the most astonishing valleys at Capadocia. The path is easy to follow, and it is plenty of little establishments managed by locals where you can drink orange juice or any other beverage and rest for a while. You'll find a lot of impressive christian churches, but unfortunately the most of them are badly conserved. Just at the first valley (kiliçlar Vadisi - Swords Valley) you'll find relatively difficult crossings, so it's important to wear adequate shoes for walking in the mountain.
