Pasabag Monks Valley is known for its unusual rock formations, which are sometimes referred to as “fairy chimneys”. The formations are the result of volcanic eruptions and erosion over time. The name “Monks Valley” comes from the fact that monks used to live in the rock-cut rooms in the valley during the Byzantine era.
