Devrent (Imagination) Valley
Ürgüp, Nevşehir
A natural rock valley with no traces of settlement, known as 'Imagination Valley' for its fairy chimneys resembling animal figures; its symbol is the camel-shaped rock.
Its story
Unlike Cappadocia's other valleys, Devrent Valley has no churches or rock settlements; it owes its fame entirely to rock shapes formed by erosion. The pink-toned rocks, produced by wind and water wearing away layers of tuff and basalt, are likened to different figures depending on visitors' imagination. The camel-shaped rock has become the valley's symbol. The valley is part of Göreme National Park, a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and can be explored on a short walk.
