You can see many shades of green in Ihlara Valley, which is located in the south of the Cappadocia region and within the borders of Aksaray province. There are various trees, Melendiz Stream, churches and caves in this 14 km long valley. You can walk into the valley by descending the 397-step stairs.
The valley, also known as \"Peristremma\" in historical books, is a place famous for its vegetation, churches and chapels, nature and art. Ihlara Valley took its current form as a result of years of erosion of the stream bed of an area that was collapsed by tectonic movements and volcanoes erupting from Hasandağ. It is different from other canyons in the world and is the largest canyon that contained living space in the past. With hundreds of churches and rock-carved places, Ihlara valley is one of the most important cultural and civilization points in the world.
