We have started our tour with the Ihlara Valley in Aksaray which is the westernmost point of Kapadokya. You have to go down many stairs to arrive this valley which formed as a result of the corrosion of the 12 km long Melendiz River in years. While going down the stairs, It can be relaxing to have rest at the waterside banks and watch the valley view.
NARLIGÖL CRATER LAKE
While rolling the Derinkuyu Underground city from Ihlara Valley, you can have a rest for lovely photos in Narlıgöl (lake with pomegranates). The lake takes it’s name from the pomegranate village that takes place here. This place is called crater lake, but also it is believed that it formed as a result of a meteor fall. Since here are natural hot springs with temperatures reaching 67 degrees Celsius, there are two spa hotels around the lake.
