We took a taxi from Goreme to Ankara Airport and stopped by Ihlara Valley and the Pink Salt Lake.
The Ihlara Canyon was formed after several volcanic eruptions. The Melendiz river flows in its hollow. A staircase, built into the cliff, allows you to descend into the canyon.

The floating restaurants on the banks of Melendiz Stream is very picturesque.

Selime Monastery - A rock monastery and the inspiration for the setting in Star Wars.
Ala Church - One of the largest cave churches in Cappadocia with paintings on its domed ceilings and arches.
A short and easy hike before setting off again to our next destination; The Pink Salt Lake.
