Cappadocia - Tourist Trap or Unique Destination

The City of Hot Balloons ; Cappadocia, a semi-arid region in central Turkey, is known for its fairytale scenery, cave dwellings, remarkable rock formations and, of course, the hundreds of hot air balloons that soar in the sky during sunrise each morning.
There is also so much awesome hiking in Cappadocia, that it will take you at least a week to explore all of the diverse hiking trails in the region. Riding a Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon is in many people's bucketlists and it's no mystery. Floating over the fairy chimneys and witnessing the incredible landscapes of Cappadocia from up above is a dream come true.

FLYING IN A HOT AIR BALLOON AT SUNRISE ;
Hot Air Balloon Rides in Cappadocia date back all the way to the 1980's. The first hot air balloon was brought to Turkey during this time and two decades after, the first Cappadocia Hot Air Balloon Company was established in 1991. Twenty years later, mass balloon flying has become world-renowned. Every day, around 200 balloons fly through the fairy chimneys of Cappadocia with over 20-30 people in each balloon.

RED VALLEY HIKE & SUNSET VIEWPOINT :
When it comes to hiking in Cappadocia, it is hard to go past Red Valley. The Sharp sandstone ridges glow a deep, vibrant red as the sun burns into the unique landscape in the last moments of the sunset each night. If you only have a couple of nights in Cappadocia, but this one up high on the list for sunset spots. There is a great trail loop including Meskindir and Rose Valley or you can drive straight to the sunset viewpoint to chill at the cafe or hike to the top of the flag viewpoint.
Whether you hike or not, this is one of the must-visit places in Cappadocia.

ROSE VALLEY HIKE & SUNSET SPOT :
The Rose Valley hiking trail in Cappadocia winds through an incredibly unique area with sharp ridges, tinted in pink especially during sunset! Over thousands of years, the ridges have formed to create a unique corrugated landscape. Almost all of the time, one side of a ridge is in the sun while the other in the shadow, further accentuating the sharpness and scale of these sandstone formations. What makes the Rose Valley one of the most unique places to visit in Cappadocia is that not only do you have these incredible rock formations but in this particular region, the minerals in the sandstone have a pink tinge.

LOVE VALLEY TRAIL TO uchisar castle
Love Valley is set just outside of Goreme and you can hike all the way through Love Valley toUchisar Castle, passing by the rock formations up close on a trail with likely nobody else. It is a relatively flat, peaceful walk through to Uchisar taking 1-2 hours. The rock formations are phallic shapes, which is why the valley full of penis-shaped rocks got its name, 'Love Valley'.
It's truly one of the most unique places to visit in Cappadocia.
