Make your way to "Love Valley" which is the best place to see three-headed fairy chimneys. Stop in Pasabag and Pasha’s Vineyard, which is surrounded by incredible natural rock formations. Next, stop in Avanos, a center of terra cotta artwork since 3000 BC. Visit a traditional pottery workshop, which is set deep into the hillsides. The clay, which comes from the Red River passing through the town, gives life both to the land and to the local economy.
Visit Uchisar, situated right in the middle of Cappadocia. It is named after the enormous piece of rock in the center of the town, which was once used as a castle. This extraordinary rock is the highest peak of the area with a view of whole Cappadocia and Erciyes Mountain.
