One of the most breathtaking sights of South Urgup is valley Soganli, named in honor of lying in the very centre of the village five kilometers to the West of the road from Urgup in Exilhesse.

Valley Soganli is located twenty-five kilometers from the underground city of Derinkuyu, where you can see the ensemble is carved into the tufa structures, such as those that are located in Goreme - open air Museum. Near the village there is a place where locals bred pigeons. When working on recreating the original appearance of the locality were discovered Christian Church, which lie on both banks of the stream.

Even before the thirteenth century, from the early Byzantine period, the valley was inhabited. Soganli in Turkish means "with onions", but there is another hypothesis, if the name of the valley comes from the phrase sona kaldi (left before the end). This theory stems from the fact that Soganli was the last valley in Cappadocia, to which the Arab invaders, led by Batal Gazi got in the 6th century. Now the valley is also located away from main roads. It attracts travellers and tourists because of its isolation from the rest of the world

The village includes the two settlements of upper Yukari-Soganli and lower Ashagy-Soganli. The village of Yukari-Soganli is located on a rocky promontory that splits into two parts valley. Pedestrian trail crossing a stream originates from the local area and leads along the slope of the hill up through the village. Walking along this trail you can come to a Hidden Church with frescoes, which depict the apostles, and after a hundred meters to come to Cubbeli the kilise or the Church with a dome.

This Church consists of two parts that are located on different floors. At the entrance there are three portal. Further, the Church is divided by two rows of pillars and pilasters into three naves and is equipped with benches. In the depths of the Central and side aisles are vaulted side chapels with altars. The upper floor has a more complex plan: two long parallel chapels are adjacent and provided with a narthex. A small apse with a vestibule that covers the dome, you can see right in the chapel, in the left hand chapel is the altar. He's standing right at the back. Itself square vestibule facing to both chapels, to the inner lobby and to the room. One gets the feeling that this Church was built inside a huge "mushroom", and his "hat" was the dome.

No less interesting is the Snake Church and its interior decoration, which can be seen only with the aid of a flashlight. The most popular and famous in Cappadocia religious subject is St. George slaying the dragon. His picture is placed to the left of the entrance. It is also worth to visit the Church of the Black heads on the wall frescoes with episodes from the life of Christ and saints of different religious symbols, but at the same time on some frescoes depict non-traditional subjects connected with ancient cults. Part of the building destroyed and not preserved till our days. In the Church there is room for worship, connected to each other.

Definitely worth a visit the Church of the Predator, got its name from that depicted in the frescoes next to St. John predatory animal. In the Church there are two areas: one is an altar with burial niches in the walls; the second room has a square shape and is adjacent to the first.

The Church Of St. Barbara also consists of two adjoining churches. She was badly damaged, but found that two parallel rooms were almost identical, but with different proportions. The Image Of St. Barbara, on whose behalf and named the whole ensemble, managed to identify the fragments of frescoes.

The temple, dedicated to the virgin Mary, is located in the valley. Almost all the walls of the Church are covered with frescoes. In some places the bottom layer is visible, which caused more primitive image and not as colorful.

The Church Yilanli dedicated to St. George. Above the entrance hangs an inscription, which says that to her for so many years. Her murals large number of images of St. John, the Twelve Apostles and other biblical scenes. On the walls of most churches, made a lot of inscriptions, mostly in Greek, some of which dated back to XIX century. Not managed to vandalism from tourists, as well as the Turks themselves, used up all the walls with their names and forever destroyed part of frescoes.

The following churches are already at the top of the valley. Especially interesting is the Church Domain. This is a full-fledged temple with columns in two floors. The ground floor is used for conducting the farm, and the top under the Church. It is a maze with many sharply breaking steps, a few leading nowhere outputs and small spaces. Create some semblance of an anthill. Many here also and clandestine graves. The condition of the monastery is gradually deteriorating, in some places, the floor fails. The frescoes here are almost there, walls are mostly covered with simple geometric patterns.
