Gulludere Vadisi, Goreme

Go and see the sunset. A most wonderful view and experience. Hop around the peeks, take on a stray dog companion which will follow you around and bark at lizards (bring treats and water for them) and sit back and relax. One of the best valleys for sunsets.

Great hike! During low season, it's very pleasant because you're almost alone on the tracks. NB: the pictures are from both the rose and red valleys.

The best hiking spot in Cappadocia. Such an incredible landscape (other worldly). Take time to explore the many different footpaths, and get to the top in time for sunset. You will not be disappointed by your visit to Rose Valley.

If you only have time for one hike in Cappadocia traversing across the Rose Valley is a must do!! Definitely wear good hiking shoes or sneakers with proper grip because the trail is very sandy and can be slippery at some points. I went during off tourist season (end of November) and the trail was fairly quiet, just came across a handful of hikers along the entire trail and I unsurprisingly didn't come across any refreshment vendors as mentioned in other reviews (they likely only operate during the busy tourist season). The landscape here is beautiful from all angles and it's wonderful that the trail starts from a lower angle and takes you higher up around the mid point - so you get to appreciate a good mix of different viewsheds. If you're walking towards the old cave town of Cavusin it's great to explore - there are people still in the area alongside abandoned cave homes, a quaint mosque, and some locals have converted their old family cave homes into shops. I came across one store that had good quality cotton scarves with beautiful patterns for very affordable prices. During off season these shops offer better rates since there are fewer customers and hence lower demand.

What a beautiful area to explore on a jeep ! Nicely carved rock formations in the Rose Valley, and up close encounter here. With four people to a jeep, enjoy the drive through the terrain and have a glass of champagne at the end of the trip to take in the beauty of this natural site of beauty !
