Capadocia. Ilhara Valley
The Ilhara Valley contrasts with the aridity of Cappadocia, thanks to the river that runs through it, which helps make it a green orchard. There are several Christian churches that have been excavated from the rock, and you can hike anywhere from just a few hundred meters, up to 15 kilometers along the river.
