Dragon head

Dragon Head is a distinctively shaped volcanic tuff formation on the edges of the Göreme valley in Cappadocia, its silhouette said to resemble a dragon's head. The wider landscape was sculpted over millennia by the erosion of ash and lava deposits from the Erciyes and Hasan Dağ volcanoes, producing the region's signature fairy chimneys and weathered rock figures. The spot is best visited at dawn or dusk, when low-angled light turns the tuff a deep amber and hot-air balloons drift across the valley. Precise trail access and signage are unconfirmed — local guides can point visitors to the exact location.
