Paşabağ (Monks Valley)

Its story

Paşabağları is on the Göreme–Avanos road, right next to Zelve. It is one of the areas with the highest concentration of the two- and three-capped fairy chimneys that have become Cappadocia's symbol. Chapels, monks' cells and living spaces were carved into these rock masses. The most striking of these is the chapel dedicated to St. Simeon, carved on several levels inside a fairy chimney; the valley's name, Monks Valley, comes from here. Paşabağları is managed together with Zelve as the Zelve–Paşabağları Archaeological Site.
