More Cappadocia: Monks Valley, Karabas, Soganli, and Uchisar Citadel.

Monks Valley:
Many fairy chimneys with multiple stems and caps, some housing chapels and living areas can be found here. The hermits of Cappadocia hollowed out the chimneys from bottom to top creating rooms 10-15m high.

Karabas "Church of the Black Heads":
Many of the frescoes had their eyes gouged out, as the Muslims believed that if you took the eyes off the paintings then the soul would be removed. Some of the graffiti on the walls dates back to Greek times and some to the early 1800's.

Soganli:
One of the oldest towns in Turkey where they are famous for making dolls that are sold throughout Turkey.

Uchisar Citadel:
A natural rock citadel which surrounds a traditional village. It is the tallest point in Cappadocia.
