Description: The Ihlara Valley (more like a canyon) opens up to a more open landscape as it comes from the east (right side of this photo) and meets the town Yaprakhisar. This view is claimed by local tour operators to have been used in a Star Wars movie, but this is not true. What is true, though, is that in left back of the photo you see an area with many impressive caves carved out of the mountain by people through centuries. "Selime Kalesi" is the most remarkable of them, a monastery/church complex with two large courts.
