Ihlara Valley is a volcanic canyon located in Aksaray province, Turkey, formed by the Melendiz River. It stretches about 14 kilometers long and is 100-150 meters deep, making it one of the significant natural and historical sites in the Cappadocia region. The valley is notable for its numerous rock-cut churches, monasteries, and shelters dating back to the Byzantine era. These structures served as hiding places for Christians escaping persecution during the Roman period. Some of the most famous churches in Ihlara Valley include the Eğritaş Church, the Ağaçaltı Church, and the Yılanlı Church. Visitors can explore the valley through walking trails that offer a unique experience of discovering its natural beauty and historical remnants. The cool waters of the Melendiz River, the lush vegetation, and the unique geological formations make Ihlara Valley an attractive destination for nature lovers and history enthusiasts alike.
