Not crowdedGreat views

We only did the second part of the trail, from Uçhisar to Göreme, due to our time availability. It was short but intense, and the landscapes were astonishing!! The path is sandy and can get slippery though, so make sure that you bring appropriate footwear.

Difficulty: Easy

Great walk, we went off to look at lots of the caves, take plenty of water and download the route before you go. I’ve included where the route goes off the map due to rock fall and danger signs, easy to follow up the gorge tho. Totally go clockwise, the rope up the cliff is absolutely one way I’d hate to try to scrabbled down ! No dogs, 2 locals selling drinks, nuts, honey etc. on the route. We took 4ltrs of water between the 3 of us and lunch. All told it took us 5 hours, but totally worth all the side trips. We walked from Göreme down the main road and came back via some countryside to see the candles of love valley. Wear grippy shoes, trainers or boots there’s lots of sliding in the ash (dust) and don’t wear black like me, you’ll come back grey! Lol

Not a hard trail but but still very enjoyable with different terrains and incredible views. There’s some churches off the trail that are must sees that top the paid ones in the Göreme open air museum in my opinion. There are so many hollowed out cave buildings to explore too so might take longer. This was a highlight of Cappadocia area for me.

Difficulty: Moderate

Paid entrance fee to access the site (included with the Museum card). Fewer people than the Göreme Museum but no churches with beautiful preserved frescoes. Nice little walk without too much difficulty.
