The Cappadocia region boasts around 150-200 underground settlements of various sizes, constituting a valuable cultural heritage. This number is expected to grow, as many rock settlements are present in all towns and villages across the area. Most of these settlements were made by carving into soft tuff, forming deep caves. The primary motivation for building these underground cities was to ensure the safety of their inhabitants. The extensive networks of interconnected rooms and galleries, often called labyrinths, were designed to restrict the movement of potential invaders. Özkonak Underground City serves as a prime example of this architectural method. Entrance fee : 6 euro per person

Pigeon Valley showcases a mesmerizing sight with numerous pigeon houses skillfully carved into the rocky formations. The landscape itself presents a surreal and eccentric ambiance reminiscent of Salvador Dali's paintings, featuring outrageously phallic structures. These distinctive conical formations are the outcome of ancient volcanic eruptions that occurred millions of years ago. Over countless ages, the combined forces of wind, rain, and other natural elements have eroded the volcanic rock, resulting in the formation of soft and pliable stone called tufa. Within these peculiar cones, often referred to as fairy chimneys, one can discover caves and intricate labyrinths.
