Valley of Pigeons

The Valley of Pigeons in the Turkish city of Cappadocia is considered the most attractive place. Here, in peculiar houses, lives a huge number of pigeons. These birds are under state protection, as they play a large role in enriching the soil with their droppings. The scale of the valley is 4 kilometers. The history of the Valley of Pigeons, or Guverjinlik, began in the 10th century and still fulfills its original purpose.

Everyone can visit the valley, going for a walk from the city of Goreme to Ukhchisar, and vice versa. You can get there by public transport or on foot. In Cappadocia there are special tourist routes, which includes a trip through the valley.
