Pigeon Valley The name comes from the thousands of pigeon houses that have been carved into the soft tuff since ancient times. Some farmers still maintain their lofts because they insist that the reputation of Cappadocian fruits as the sweetest and most succulent in Turkey is entirely due to pigeon dung.
