We had such a fun hike from Uchisar Castle to Göreme through Pigeon Valley. It wasn’t well signed and it involved a bit of scrambling, some slippery spots and a few wrong turns 😂 But the scenery was spectacular and it was an absolute blast! And we ended at the Weasley’s Burrow (at least that’s what it looked like!)

We took a taxi to Uchisar to start, explored the castle (which is a super cool cave castle), and then started walking in what we hoped was the right direction to get to the trail. Thank goodness for satellite images in Google Maps. It kept us going in more or less the right direction most of the time.

I wondered if the lack of signage is to encourage people to hire a guide? Either way, we had plenty of water and nowhere to be, and the “figuring it out as we go” was part of the adventure!

10/10 recommend (with grippy shoes and good knees😂)

What a day! Honestly, I’m not sure there’s anywhe What a day!

Honestly, I’m not sure there’s anywhere else we could’ve had a day like today. 

🌺 Breakfast in the forest and gorgeous wildflower lined mountains roads.

🛕Spent the morning exploring the remains of a 9000 year old city at Çatalhöyük. The museum and replicas were SO well done. 

🕌 Had afternoon tea in a Caravanserai built in 1229. Which seemed young after a 9000 year old city!!

⛰️ Fell asleep beside the most beautiful valley, eagerly anticipating the morning.

Türkiye 🇹🇷 truly has a little bit of everything.

Any idea where we ended up?
