点评:We recently visited the Ilhara Valley as part of the Green Tour operated by My Trip Travel. This is a unique 15 km long valley that reaches 150 metres deep in the heart of Cappadocia. The area we visited (15 Euro per foreign visitor for independent visitation) included a roughly 3 km stretch which our tour guide led us down into the valley and along the riverside until existing.
The grounds within the valley were very green and with much vegetation demonstrating a microclimate that felt significantly different to what we found throughout the rest of the region. We saw numerous cliffside cave dwellings used during past centuries including a couple of interesting old churches, one with old frescos that dated back to around the 7th century.
The visit to Ihlara Valley included a break stop at a make-shift riverside cafe for those who fancied a drink or snack break as part of the otherwise gentle hike that lasted around 45 minutes. While the walk was easy for most, it did require a roughly 400 step downward stretch to enter the valley. As part of the guided trip, we were dropped off and then picked up at separate locations. This would present some challenge and planning needs for those visiting independently.

山谷内绿意盎然,植被茂盛,展现出与我们在该地区其他地方所见截然不同的微气候。我们看到了许多过去几个世纪以来人们使用过的悬崖边窑洞,包括几座有趣的古老教堂,其中一座教堂的壁画可追溯到大约公元7世纪。
伊尔哈拉山谷之旅还包括在河畔一家临时咖啡馆稍作休息,供那些想在大约45分钟轻松徒步中小憩的游客享用饮品或小吃。虽然这段步行对大多数人来说都很容易,但进入山谷确实需要爬大约400级台阶。作为导览行程的一部分,我们会在不同的地点下车和接我们。这对于独立旅行的游客来说会有一些挑战,也需要提前规划。
