マレンディス山周辺のアトラクション＆必見スポット - トップ9

Nice place to visit during the day. Be aware about the stray dogs. They can be aggressive, specially if you are by bike and/or with a dog. If you want to relax, you can access the little forest easily which is on the other side of the lake. Be aware that some locals can take advantage of you, specially if you are a solo female. (This has happened to me and other girls I have spoken to). So better to be surrounded by other tourist or in a group.

Snake Church, church with frescoes from the 9th and 11th centuries.

Very beautiful valley, which can be walked there and back (with a change of bank) or only in one direction. There is a taxi stand in the middle of the valley. The way back costs about 12 EUR.

There are various bridge structures across the river along the entire route, making it easy to cross between the banks.

Excellent place for a short break or to dip your feet in the river.

Bridge made of logs to cross the river. The bridge is stable.

The Snake Church (Turkish, Ylanlo Kilise) is a large cave church with abundant paintings in the Ihlara Valley. The church dates back to the late 800s. The Snake Church is located near the middle/main entrance of Ihlara, opposite the Hyacinth (Sümbüllü) Church.

Every café here is similar to the next. Ask about the prices beforehand. Since it is a tourist area, some things are overpriced. Entry to the Ihlara Valley with a museum ticket.
