DEVRENT VALLEY

Devrent Valley, which is also known as Imaginery Valley or Pink Valley does not have cave churches like the other valleys of Cappadocia. There are not any Roman castles or Roman tombs in Devrent Valley, either. Actually it was never inhabited. So what makes it so famous? The lunar landscape!

Devrent Valley hides many different rock formations around 10 minutes drive from Goreme. The small fairy chimneys in the valley form a lunar landscape, or moonscape, by their strange look. The valley also has many animal shaped rocks. It looks like a sculpture zoo made by nature. Some of the most important, or the easiest seen animal shapes are camel, snake, seals, and dolphin. If you run your imagination you will find many others. It is like looking at clouds and seeing a dragon. There is even a rock pillar which looks like Virgin Mary, holding Jesus Christ.

On one of our Cappadocia Tours, we visit Devrent Valley and walk for a short while between the fairy chimneys and take pictures.
