Just a few trinket shops and a typical valley view. We visited it as a part of an organised day trip, not recommended if doing it on your own. Several similar spots like this near Goreme.

Pigeon valley is a wonderful place to walk through. You can't get lost as there are no alternative paths.

Wonderful hike through the valley. Wear good shoes and light clothing (if coming in the warmer seasons). Many photo ops!

The trail goes from Uchisar to Göreme. Gorgeous views of both towns and landscape. But beware against getting lost.

Good for a photo opp, but there's a lot of stunning landscapes competing in Cappadocia, so I wont say it's one of the best. If you have little time, you can give this a miss.

The pigeon valey was also part of the tour though we did not stay there for more than 15 mins. It seemed more of the same and I think 15 mins was all that it was worth. It is interesting to see.
