- Ozkonak Underground City - This extraordinary and remarkable masterpiece, the Underground City, is located near Avanos, a town in Nevsehir. This magnificent structure exudes a dreamlike historical ambiance due to its architectural features and geopolitical significance. As a result, the Underground City is a popular destination for visitors today. This breathtaking, unique, and incredible underground city, carved out of tufa rock, was constructed by locals to protect themselves from warrior invasions. It dates back to 400 B.C., during the Byzantine (Roman) Era. Consequently, numerous traps were installed here to deter enemies, which is one of the key attractions for tourists today.
Upon entering this valuable, mystical underground city, visitors immediately recognize the wonder of this ancient sanctuary.
Firstly, the priceless construction is notable for its apartment complex layout, four large halls, four separate graves, 10 special rooms, water wells, churches, barns, winery, ventilation system (a highly efficient mechanism), and enclosable doors using circular stones like millstones for security purposes. Additionally, many ambushes are found in the long narrow tunnels to mislead hostiles in the Ozkonak underground city.
Secondly, there are numerous narrow, long holes and tunnels carved into each floor, allowing citizens to easily communicate and pour hot oil against any invaders.
- Pigeon Valley - Pigeon Valley is located between Göreme and Uçhisar and is perfect for walking, as the trek is relatively easy. The name derives from the thousands of pigeon houses carved into the soft tuff since ancient times. While they can be found throughout Cappadocia, they are particularly abundant in this valley.
