[2025 Goreme Attraction] Travel Guide for Love Valley (Updated Mar)

Hot air balloon experience in Turkey One of the most anticipated activities when visiting Türkiye is to experience hot air ballooning. However, this activity is very affected by the weather and may be cancelled if it rains, snows, or is too windy, which makes many friends leave with regret after coming here. We were very lucky that the hot air balloon went on schedule as we had heard that it would not be possible to fly the two days before and after. However, our experience was somewhat uneventful. We arrived early at the beginning, but when the hot air balloon was halfway inflated, the instructor suddenly said that the wind was too strong and we had to stop. We were then moved to another location and finally took off successfully. Although we slightly missed the sunrise and the spectacular sight of everyone taking off together, we were still happy to fulfill one of our bucket list dreams. Afterwards, there was a champagne party and we received a flight certificate as a souvenir. All in all, the hot air balloon experience is absolutely worth it and leaves us with beautiful and unforgettable memories. Price: 99 euros per person Hot Air Balloon Adventure in Turkey Visiting Türkiye, the highlight is the hot air balloon ride. Weather matters – rain, snow, strong winds may cancel it, disappointing some. Fortunately, our ride happened despite no flights for days before and after. Our experience had a twist. We arrived early, but wind paused inflation halfway. We changed spots and took off later. Missing sunrise and group ascent, we're still thrilled to fulfill a dream. After, there was a champagne party and certificates. In short, the balloon adventure is a must, gifting cherished memories. Cost: €99/person

#fallingforfall The Cappadocia region, which is located in the city of Nevşehir, is very beautiful, especially in autumn. Fairy chimneys are different naturally formed stones that make Cappadocia famous. Tuff structures were formed with the lava and ashes ejected by Mount Erciyes, Hasan Mountain millions of years ago, and fairy chimneys were formed as a result of these soft tuff layers being eroded by wind, flood and limestone for millions of years.

One of the most impressive places I've seen so far. I spent a week on a fantastic hiking tour in Cappadocia National Park. I couldn't stop taking pictures. This one is called Love Valley. It’s a hiking trail which span around 6-7 km and would take you around 3 hours to walk, of course depending on your speed. It is a a surreal place with dreamy views and awesome scenic beauties. The love valley is astonishingly peaceful and so silent. One can see the caves and little hillocks all around. The horizon is endless and mind is peaceful. Definitely must visit here if you get the chance :) 🌿🌳🍃🧗🏻‍♀️ #nationalpark #urbanexplorer #summervacation#hikingtrails

The itinerary was mainly based on the deep blue of the Mediterranean Sea in winter, so we did not arrange a self-driving trip on D400, and naturally we also gave up the towns of Fethiye and Kaş. Considering that Istanbul Airport was far away, I flew directly to Izmir after entering the country. All four domestic legs were flights. Fortunately, except for the last leg which was delayed for more than an hour, there were no overbooking or cancellations as I had seen in the guidebook. : : : : : : : : : : : : : : : Tickets are only accepted in lira, in cash or by card. I only used some Euros to buy things at Istanbul Airport. 4️⃣I rented a car from Sixt in Izmir and Kayseri. It was a good experience with no problems. Just be aware that there are two parking buildings at Izmir Airport. When renting a car, you must ask which parking building to return the car to. It is like a maze inside and is not easy to find. 5️⃣ Common supermarkets include Sok, BIM, A101, and Migros. If you see them, you can go in and buy supplies. You can also buy souvenir snacks, chocolates, etc. in these supermarkets. 🌡️ Temperature and outfit In mid-to-late January, Izmir and Antalya are around 10 degrees, so thick sweatshirts and coats are enough. Istanbul is 7-8 degrees and windy, so you need to wear a hat when taking a boat. Goreme is a bit colder, around 0 degrees, so a down jacket will do, but it won’t feel as cold as Beijing. The city guides are being updated one after another. If you have any questions, you can leave a message at any time.

I went on an ATV tour in the Love Valley of Goreme, Turkey, which is said to be the inspiration for the mushroom house in Smurf Village :) Since the price is per ATV vehicle, not per person, it is completely okay for two people to ride in one vehicle! I rode behind my friend, but the guide said it would be more fun to ride behind him, so I switched and experienced hell,,,I remember that🤣🤣 Since it is a sunset tour, the start time is past 4 o'clock, so I recommend that you do other tours beforehand and recharge your energy at the accommodation before leaving :) It is quite a difficult tour because you have to run on a rocky road while getting covered in dirt. However, even though it is difficult, you feel a little bit better when you see the picturesque scenery, and it felt like love that was not there was blooming again, just like the name Love Valley.✨💖 📍Love Valley -50180 Göreme/Nevşehir Merkez/Nevşehir, Turkey 🎟️15€(as of 2022) *There are many tour companies in the village, so compare prices and decide! #Overseas travel #Turkey travel #Goreme #Pamukkale #Sunset tour #ATV tour
