Today we explore the Cappadocia region starting with Devren Valley (also spelled as Dervent Valley) which reveals many different rock formations. The small fairy chimneys in the valley form a lunar landscape, or moonscape, by their strange look. The valley also has many animal-shaped rocks.

Then we go through Pasabag or Pasha's Vineyard which is situated on the Zelve road between the popular town of Goreme and traditional pottery-making town Avanos. Here you can find spectacular cone topped rock pillars known as Fairy Chimneys standing tall throughout the vineyard. Pasha was a in important officer in Ottoman times when the region was captured. However, Pasabag is more commonly known as Monks Valley. It earned its name from the many monk refuges carved into the soft rock cones.
