Pigeon Valley Trailhead East — Attraction in Göreme

This review is from "Goreme to Pigeon Valley Walk" location and relevant to this place as well as it connects. I can read the previous reviews in this location and people have had similar experience.

Becareful!!! There is a group of stray dogs living at a viewpoint. 15-20 minutes from the start point of the walk towards the right.

A small black pet dog followed us to the walk from the start. We thought it was ok, but don't let him follow you. He kept peeing at different points to mark his territory. Soon after, the stray dogs came and became aggressive because of the small black dog. They barked at us (8-9 dogs).
