Göreme - Çavuşin - Avanos

Characteristics of the Route:

The route starts in Goreme with an amazing view of surreal formations and passes by Cavusin, a settlement carved into the rocks. The village, with a stunning view and unique life, has been a movie set for several films, most particularly Pasolini's famous film Medea in 1969. After Cavusin, the route continues its descent to Avanos on the same ramp and is suitable for all cyclists and cycling-loving families.
