    Tips

    Hiking

    While the section of the Ihlara Gorge is very well visited, you are largely alone here. The path leads along the river through meadows and along the rocks, but largely flat. Many Turkish families use the area for picnics on weekends.
    The Selime Monastery is a highlight to discover at the end of the tour.
    You can also find a taxi here that will take you back to the starting point of the hike.
