Check out God's Most Erotic Creation at Love Valley

And on the 7th day God was so happy with his creations that he woke up with a...
Excerpt from  Single White Female Backpacker...
When we reached the viewpoint, I could not believe my eyes.  Stretched out before me was an entire valley full of rock structures that resembled a group of erect penises.  What the…? God must have been drunk and frisky when he built this part of the earth.  Just when I thought I had seen it all, the Universe threw this at me as if to say “you ain’t seen nothing yet girl!”
                
Despite my best efforts I could not quit staring at these gigantic phallic rock structures.  I felt like a pervert and was blushing like a school girl. I couldn’t help it; the place was just so bizarre!  I tried to tell myself they were just rocket shaped rock formations made by volcanic explosions but that didn’t help.  It didn’t matter at what angle I viewed them; they continued to look like large erect penises. I was taking a walk in Dick Valley – nature’s first erotic museum.  
               
As we made our way through the valley, Armani kept trying to assist me by holding my hand and I kept pulling it away. We were surrounded by monumental erections and I didn’t want him to get any bright ideas.  I was dying from embarrassment the entire time, this is a place I would have preferred to visit on my own.  In fact, I wished he would have given me and the valley a little alone time.

Love Valley is located in Goreme.

Wikipedia - Goreme is a town in the Cappadocia region of Turkey. The town is centered in the middle of a internationally popular region that is best known for its natural rock formations, often called "fairy chimneys".

Several bus companies (Nevsehirliler, Metro, Goreme Tourism, Suha and Göreme Cappadocia) have day-time and overnight buses that run directly from Göreme to Istanbul (or directly from Nevshehir, 20 minutes down the road). You can catch a bus from Istanbul by catching a ferry to the Harem ferry port. Make sure you book a couple of days in advance in peak times as buses book out. There are connections to Konya (3½ hours), Denizli (10 hours), Pamukkale (10 hours), Selçuk (12 hours), Kusadasi (12 hours), Marmaris (13 hours), Bodrum (13 hours), Alanya (9 hours), Çıralı (10 hours), Canakkale (17 hours), Kayseri, Trabzon, Van.

If you book your ticket directly to Göreme, make sure that the bus (or a smaller van associated with the bus company) will drop you off at the Göreme bus station (otogar) even if the bus ticket says Goreme. It is a common occurrence for a bus company to sell you a ticket that says Göreme but then drop you off somewhere in Nevshehir, sometimes at a tour office, and hope that the folks at the tour office will help you get to the Goreme bus station.

There are numerous buses from Göreme to other parts of Turkey. The cheapest fare quoted to Istanbul as of July 2010 was 50 TL direct from Sultanahmet (Old City), Istanbul by Suha Company with reclining seats and tv-sets at the back of every seat, though this required changing buses at Nevsehir and arriving at Göreme by shuttle most of the times.

The nearest airports to Goreme are in Kayseri or Nevsehir. To Kayseri Airport, Turkish Airlines as well as Onur Air or Pegasus have several flights a day from Istanbul. SunExpress is another low-cost option.
Outside the airport are only taxis (cost 12 TL to the main bus station, otogar) and arranged shuttle buses, no dolmuş. The stop for city buses is a bit down the road following the airport exit. The Kayseri otogar is far from the airport. From otogar, there are very limited direct lines to Göreme (10 TL), but more frequent lines to Avanos, where you can transfer to a local bus for the remaining 9km to Göreme; the station is unmarked and the ride costs 2.5 TL.If you have a hotel transfer option, take it: it is much more convenient.

The town of Goreme is very, very small, and you can walk to the tiny center within minutes from any part of town. Available for rent are mountain bikes, scooters, motorcycles and all terrain quads. There is regular bus service to Nevşehir (every half hour as of Oct. 2008), and from there to regional destinations including the underground cities at Kaymaklı and and Derinkuyu. Goreme is very, very small and there is not much to do. Dolmus (minibus) service runs approx. every hour to nearby larger towns like Avanosand every two hours to Urgup. However, the last dolmus services to all towns, including Nevsehir, are in the late afternoon, and you will need to check the schedule in advance to avoid getting stuck.

While the valleys are close to Goreme, it is best to rent a car or take a tour to see the major sights, such as the underground city and the best fairy chimneys, as they are located far away from town and are difficult to reach by public transportation (with the exception of the underground cities, which are easily reached by bus.
