We set off for Ihlara Valley, historically known as Peristremma, one of the rare areas where nature, history, art, and culture come together with its flora, churches, and chapels. Housing thousands of living spaces, Ihlara Valley holds the distinction of being the world's largest canyon where people lived in past periods, unlike other canyons (In case of road works, the Ihlara Valley tour will be conducted via Belisırma Village or Selimiye).

CLIMATE

Since the region is surrounded by high mountains, the moist and temperate air of the seas cannot penetrate the area. Therefore, a continental climate prevails in the region, with hot and dry summers and cold and snowy winters. Towards the east of the region, the degree of continentality increases due to the increasing altitude, and winter temperatures reach very low values. Central Asia Minor is the region of our country that receives the least precipitation. Average precipitation is around 400 mm. The region receives the most precipitation in the form of showers in the spring months. The driest season is summer. The dryness of summers and the early onset of summer drought have a negative impact on vegetable-type plants. The least rainy place in the region and our country is around Lake Tuz (320 mm). The scarcity of precipitation is due to the region being closed to maritime influences. The moist air mass coming from the sea leaves its moisture in the form of precipitation on the mountain slopes facing the sea. As it blows towards the Central Anatolia Region, it is already dry.
