Natural scenery
The Ehraj Gorge was once one of the preferred retreats for monks in the Byzantine period, leaving behind many painted grotto churches. The vegetation in the valley is prosperous and the sound of birds is melodious, which is very suitable for hiking along the banks of the stream, which is very pleasant. The hiking route open to tourists in the canyon is about 7 kilometers one way, and you can decide the hiking distance according to your own physical strength. The best time to visit is non-weekends from May to September, with fewer tourists and beautiful scenery. After steep steps into the canyon, you can walk along the MelendizSuyu stream. In addition to the natural beauty, there are many churches to visit along the way, including Fragrant Church, Snake Church, etc. The end of the hike is the Selime Monastery, a grotto complex that is very impressive and worth seeing.
