Pigeon Valley

One of the most well-known places in the Cappadocia region is Güvercinlik Valley. The story of the pigeons, which has been going on since the past and gave its name to the valley, makes the region interesting. Pigeons accompany you on your visit.

Pigeon breeding started in the Cappadocia region in the early 9th century. As grape cultivation became more important in the future, the need for pigeon manure also increased. Therefore, in the Güvercinlik Valley, located between Göreme and Uçhisar, it is possible to see many settlements, such as bird nests created by carving, and agriculture.
