Gibos Valley

During the Greek period, the Gibos valley was called “Kipos”, which means garden in Greek. The Gibos valley, which now consists mainly of ruined rocks and abandoned houses, was once one of the liveliest parts of the village. This was a neighborhood with houses with gardens where only Christians lived. It was divided into two by the deep crevice of the stream passing through the middle of the village. The stream in the middle of the village would flow through the entire Gibos District, creating a waterfall and pouring into the Beydere Stream. This waterfall is approximately where the Health Center is located today.

The houses carved into the rocks here looked like castle structures. These houses, which had doors opening on the high steep surfaces of the rocks, were reached by very narrow steps. It is stated that in some places there are long corridors between caves and that a very different point can be reached from one point (Balta, 2005).

Gibos, located within the settlement and one of the deepest valleys, is approximately 1 km long. Beydere Valley in the north of the village is also a continuation of Gibos.
