Devrent Valley, known for its unique rock formations resembling animals, is one of the most anticipated sights in Cappadocia.
The Experience:
Although the valley is often hyped for its animal-like rock shapes, my visit left me with mixed feelings. While it’s interesting, compared to other rock formations in the region, Devrent Valley felt only average.
Parking Options:
- Roadside Parking: The most straightforward option, where Google Maps will direct you. You'll find souvenir stands and plenty of people along the road.
- Viewpoint Parking: Located where the Avanos-Urgup road meets the 50-14 road, this parking area offers a larger space and a better viewpoint.
Exploration:
Devrent Valley is right next to the road, requiring only a couple of minutes of walking to see the famous camel and lion rock formations. Due to its accessibility, it is one of the busiest valleys in Cappadocia.
Best Time to Visit:
- Anytime: The valley can be visited at any time of day, though be prepared for large crowds.
