It was interesting to hear how the formations had occurred, not to mention that they are incredible to behold. Definitely should be seen. An easy walk.

Amazing eroded valleys that twist and turn! The walk is quite easy and really worth it if you are staying in Cappadocia.

It's very beautiful valley, with rock mountains. We saw it from top of a mountain, where we reached by car. But there are also horse back tours in Love valley. But do not miss the view of Love valley from top. It's worth spending time there marvelling at beauty of nature with your loved ones!

We started at the "opposite" end; we were given poor directions and had to backtrack quite a ways. Make sure you somehow get down INTO the valley, instead of hiking along the top. Had to bend way, way over in many spots and walk in water. Just keep following the valley, and you'll eventually find your way out! The "interesting"... More

nice easy walk with views, shade, no tourist, just the sound of water and birds. A few mini valleys with fruit trees and vines. Not quite as impressive as Rose Valley

It's the only valley I was able to visit before I sprained my ankle but I loved ambling paths amidst the phallic rock formations. They made for some fun photo opportunities. Nature sure can be mischievous!

I just printed (yes I still use film!) my photos from Love Valley, they were my favorite photos of my entire trip. The other valleys were factinating but Love was my favorite. I hiked a bit, but might I suggest renting an ATV, you can get the panorama view, get into the valley and see other nearby valleys and Cavushin... More

Cappadocia as a result of the volcanic eruptions, erosion of the river and wind over ten thousand years made unique geological formations and exxtraordinary look. Fairy chimney rock formation nearby Goreme is one of highlight along with underground cities in Cappadocia. I recommend to take local arranged tour to go as many places as effectively.

definitely one of the more interesting places i've been. if you are a little immature (like me), you will have endless hours of fun with your photos from here (and photoshop).

great hike. we hardly ran into anyone. incredible landscape. But the path is not clearly marked and a few times I had a surge of panic thinking we'd have to walk all the way back instead of finding our way out.
