Overview

Few places stop you in your tracks quite like Cappadocia. The volcanic landscape of central Turkey has been carved by centuries of wind and water into an astonishing terrain of fairy chimneys, hidden valleys and cave-riddled cliffs that early Christians turned into entire underground cities and frescoed churches. The village of Göreme sits at the heart of it all, and walking between the surrounding valleys is the only way to properly take it in. Away from the tourist bustle, the trails thread through quiet villages, ancient rock-cut monasteries and open countryside that feels genuinely remote. Few walking destinations in the world deliver this level of visual drama.
