-Paşabağ Vadisi ya da bilinen bir diğer adıyla Rahipler Vadisi. Kapadokya’da yer alan en karakteristik yerlerden birisidir. Ayrıca Paşabağ Vadisi’nde önemli kiliseler de bulunmaktadır. Bir söylentiye göre çok eski zamanlarda bu vadi keşişlerin inzivaya çekildiği bir yer olarak biliniyor. Fakat Paşabağ Vadisi’ne ayak bastığınızda bunun aslında bir söylenti olmadığını fark ediyorsunuz. Çünkü burası o kadar sessiz ve sakin ki, keşişlerin Paşabağ Vadisi’ni inziva bölgesi olarak seçmelerine hak veriyorsunuz. Bu vadi aynı zamanda Aziz Simeon’un yaklaşık 15 sene boyunca inzivaya çekildiği yer olarak bilinir.

*Our jeep tour then continues with a visit to the giant rock valley where Australian sculptor Andrew Rogers, known for his "Time and Space" artwork, created the "Stone Whisperer" piece.
