- Narlıgöl Krater Gölü - Lake Nar is renowned for its scientific significance, hosting a newly-identified species of microscopic diatom algae, Clipeoparvus anatolicus. The lake’s waters transform with the seasons; cold throughout in winter, and in spring, the water splits into a warm upper layer (epilimnion) and a cold, oxygen-poor lower layer (hypolimnion). Early summer sees a plankton bloom altering the water chemistry, causing calcium carbonate precipitation. This results in the lake’s mud forming alternating black and white layers (varves), akin to tree rings, serving as a natural geological clock. Lake Van is another well-known varve-forming lake in Turkey.
- Ihlara Valley - Enjoy a delightful 3 km hike through Ihlara Valley, a lush canyon reaching depths of 100 meters in places. Discover cave churches with unique frescoes and savor lunch by the river.
- Pigeon Valley - The final stop offers a stunning view of Uçhisar Castle across the gardens of Güvercinlik Vadisi (Pigeon Valley), perfect for capturing scenic photographs. Additionally, visit the onyx workshop to admire the region’s precious stones.
