Paşabağlari, which literally means the gardens of pashas, is where you will see geological evolution in action throughout millenia and the cave structures that people created in those times. The reason for naming the place goes back to the 19th century when the agricultural lands around the place were given to pashas loyal to the Sultan.
You can expect to spend about an hour here and get some really good photos.

Nice place, a little busy because of school break/Sunday.
**★★★★☆ Keith Bauman — 3 months ago
Picturesque views and easy walking path. About 1 hr would cover it. Worth the trip/ time for sure!

Paşabağları is one of the most iconic spots in Cappadocia, and it definitely lives up to the photos! The fairy chimneys here are stunning — tall, surreal rock formations that look like they’re straight out of a fantasy film. Some even have little cave chapels or monk cells carved inside, which adds a special historical touch.
It’s a great place for walking around, taking photos, and just soaking in the otherworldly landscape. The views are especially beautiful in the late afternoon light.

Pasabaglar is one of two sites valid for the same ticket of 12 Euro. This is a good site to stretch your legs. Nothing much to go inside and no signs describing the history or what you are looking it. Nice view from the top - if you are in enough shape, climb the route up on the left. Worth an hour at the most. Some nice fairy chimneys here but I think better near goreme.
