After Goreme tour is over we contiue our tour with Esentepe village and it’s amazing fairy chimneys. Esentepe offers an amazing collection of natural and cultural marvels. In simply strolling through theEsentepe Village you will be surprised at the peculiar fairy chimneys rocks that were naturally crafted by the elements. Obviously Fairy Chimneys are the best thing at color range. There are light and dark colors from white to yellow, pink, grey and black.

There are light and dark colors from white to yellow, pink, grey and black.Pasabag Valley ( monks valley) is located on the road to Zelve, coming from Goreme or Avanos. Highly remarkable earth pillars can be seen here, in the middle of a vineyard, hence the name of the place which means: the Pachas vineyard. Pacha means “General”, the military rank, in Turkish and it is a very common nick name. This site is also called Monks Valley. The name was derived from some cones carved in tuff stones which stand apart.

Devrent Valley, also known as Imagination Valley, has none of the cave churches, Byzantine frescoes or Roman citadel ruins that are famous throughout the rest of Cappadocia; but what it does have is an extraordinary landscape shaped by nature to make you laugh and wonder and explore.

There are also small fairy chimneys, the rock pillars so distinctive of Cappadocia. Avanos is set on the banks of the Kizilirmak, the Red River. The town is about 8 kilometers (5 miles) from Goreme. The Kizilirmak (red) river (ancient Halys river) is the longest river in Turkey and it does not only separate the town from other parts of Cappadocia, but also gives the supplies the clay for pottery. It is by this river that the red pottery clay is found from which Avanos derives its main livelihood and its foremost claim to fame. Pottery has been produced in the Avanos area for centuries and some of the techniques still used date back to Hittite times to 2000 BC.
