an old village where people still live in rock-cut dwellings and stone houses. The Church of St.
John the Baptist in Çavuşin village dates back to the 5th century, its paintings - to the 6th, 7th
and 8th centuries. The church offers a spectacular panoramic view of the village.
Devrent Valley (known also as Imagination valley) doesn't have any rock churches and
monasteries, it is famous for lunar landscape with unique rock formations that look like animals
(camel, alligator, snakes, seals, etc) and people (dancers, praying St. Mary, etc). You will

Goreme Open-Air Museum is a UNESCO protected site with rock-cut churches and monasteries

Church, The St. Barbara Church, the Church of the Serpent, the Dark Church, etc.).
Pasabag Valley has the best collection of fairy chimneys in Cappadocia. These rock formations
with twin and even triple rock caps are named mushroom shaped fairy chimneys. The valley is

three caps; it is possible to visit the inside and climb to the top of it.
