Love Valley

What people say

"Love Valley, located in Cappadocia, boasts a rich history that dates back to at least Roman times. According to local legend, the valley was once home to two feuding dynasties in the same village. This rivalry led to a significant divide within the community. Amidst the conflict, two soldiers from opposing sides met and fell in love, sparking a passionate romance that defied the animosity between their families. Despite the villagers' attempts to separate the couple, their love prevailed, leading to their eventual marriage. Tragically, the enmity persisted, culminating in the death of their child and the subsequent suicides of the grieving couple. In retribution for their tragic fate, it is said that God rained stones upon the village, punishing those who opposed the love of the two souls. In a more contemporary context, the name "Love Valley" is often attributed to the unique heart-shaped fairy chimneys that characterize the landscape. These striking formations, combined with the valley's romantic legend, create a captivating atmosphere that attracts visitors seeking both natural beauty and a glimpse into the region's storied past."
"Why it’s called Love Valley You freely can imagine. Love Valley, also known as the Valley of Lovers, is among the meeting points in Cappadocia for those who want to witness a magnificent visuality as well as those who want to experience romance to the fullest. This valley, which is one of the must-see places in Cappadocia, has a length of 4900 meters. The vineyards and fruit trees in the valley, which fascinate every visitor with its impressive fairy chimneys, are expressed as the closest companions of the visitors."

"Love valley - located just outside the town of Goreme, which earned its name from its bell-shaped chimney formations that can reach a height of 100 feet (30 m). These strange tall rock structures, which resemble some interesting phallic shapes, are actually eroded volcanic ash dating back around 60 million years. Famed for its rock formations, mountain ridges and lush valley floor, Love Valley is recommended as one of the best hiking trails in Cappadocia. "
