Pigeon Valley
About Pigeon Valley
Pigeon Valley stretches between Goreme and Uchisar in Cappadocia, named after the hundreds of dovecotes carved into its soft volcanic cliffs.
For centuries, locals raised pigeons here, using their droppings to fertilize vineyards, that's why pigeons are always fed and protected.
The valley’s walking paths wind past fairy chimneys, orchards, and panoramic viewpoints, making it a favorite for hikers and nature lovers.
With its quiet beauty and layered history, Pigeon Valley reflects Cappadocia’s bond between people, land, and sky.
