9 July 2012-- Scenic views of Uchisar, Pasabag (Monks Valley) and Pigeon Valley

The scenery in this part of the country is stunning (not a word often used by me). These chimneys have been formed by erosion over time, shapped by wind and rain. People lived in the cliffs in this area until the late 1940s and 1950s when the Turkish government gave residents incentives to move from the hills into the valleys. some of the cliff dwellings have been turned into boutique hotels.
