This deep valley formed by earthquakes and erosion over thousands of years, has created a beautiful landscape through which to walk. The valley, which was divided into two, has been occupied since the Roman period when they used the conical rock formations as graves, and later, the Byzantines transformed them into churches with colourful frescoes painted on their walls. During our walk we will visit the Dark Church, Serpent Church and the Church of St. Barbara.
