Informazioni
Fatti rapidi: Walking among the sharp columns eroded by wind and water from soft tuff rocks, you feel the bare stones crumbling like sand and dust falling from your fingers. The tallest columns rise 10-15 meters, and some have window-like hollows and fine points that create dramatic shadows in photographs.
Punti salienti: The descending light of the evening sun paints the stone surfaces red and orange, and in a few minutes, the colors change like a dramatic show. According to a story told by local guide Mehmet Usta, the deepest hollow in the valley was used as a cellar, about 2.5 meters deep, and when you put your hand inside, you can still smell damp earth and grass.
