The Valley of Love is the most erotic valley in Cappadocia.

The Valley of Love is located just four kilometers from the town of Goreme near the village of Kavusin. It turned out that not just a tourist trail was laid to this valley, but a dirt road along which a passenger car or even a small minibus can pass. But I walk on foot.

After 40 minutes of unhurried walk, I reached my goal, and this is what appeared before my eyes.

The official name of this valley is Baglydere ( Baglidere Valley), and this is how it appears on official maps. But in the world of tourism this place is known exclusively as the Valley of Love! Why love? Do you see what these rocks look like? Nothing like?

Yes, yes, in common people this place is also called the" Valley of the phalluses ", and where the phalluses are there is love ... Well, at least they think so here in Turkey

Everything, of course, is beautiful, but HOW did these fancy “mushrooms” form? Let's understand.

The official version says that before all this place was under water, except the tops that were sticking out of it. The water washed away the lower part and eventually left, and the rocks remained standing on the ground legs. But then why are they only in this place? Why didn't the water in the neighboring valleys do the same? And why are the “heads” at different heights?

Maybe the aliens did it? Arrived and instructed the ancient inhabitants of Cappadocia to phallic lingas for worship?

Or maybe it was the Cappadocians themselves who were cut out of the rocks and came up with a beautiful legend to attract tourists?

Anyway, they stand here and delight visitors with their unusual look. And for cool photo shoots, there’s just no better place in Cappadocia. Try to google pictures of tourists from this place, as soon as people are not distorted)))

Basically, the phallus mountains stand apart from each other, but they also come across one huge castle. . Although maybe this is an ancient castle?

There are a lot of tourists here, and some enterprising Turk built here a small cafe where you can relax, drink tea, have a snack and even buy souvenirs.

And I decided to go further, because the hiking trail leads a few more kilometers forward to the city of Uchisar.

But after a couple of hundred meters, the phalluses ended and the usual smooth Cappadocian rocks began.

And this has already started White Valley, so named because of the whiteness of their mountains. It’s also beautiful, but I liked the mushroom glade more.

So I decided to return to the Valley of Love and take pictures there. Besides, I didn’t want to go to the overgrown gorge to Uchisar (in which I already was) today.

This is the legendary Cappadocian Valley of Love, and if you are in these parts, be sure to look at this miracle of nature. Moreover, this valley is not necessary, like me, to go on foot, but you can quickly and comfortably take a taxi.
