This region of Cappadocia is very exotic. Steven Spielberg filmed episodes of Star Wars here because of these exotic rock formations. We rented mountain bikes and took a 20 mile ride through three different canyons. This particular canyon is filled with these phallic rock formations and called love valley. This area is great for hiking, biking, climbing and wine. Early Christians hid out in these canyons and escaped Roman persecution. Cave churches are decorated with welled preserved blue and red frescos depicting scenes from the annunciation to the death and resurrection of our Lord Jesus Christ. The earliest civilization on record is the Hittites from 3000 BC.
