Rute

1. The first stop is at the famous ‘Three Beauties of Ürgüp’, where you can see the mushroom-shaped rock formations and a panorama of the city of Ürgüp. The magnificent landscape of Cappadocia has been formed from solidified lava streams, ash and tuff stone from volcanic eruptions millions of years ago. The landscape you can see now is the result of thousands of years of continual erosion, which has shaped the tuff deposits into the strangest pyramids and cones. The guide gives you information about how the landscape was formed and the history of Cappadocia.

2. After that you drive through Taşkınpaşa which has some of the best examples of Seljuk architecture in the district. The village houses follow the traditional plan, with stables on the ground floor to keep the upper floor rooms warm. There was also a ‘medrese’, an Islamic theological college there, but to this day only the impressive-looking doorway has been preserved.

3. The next stop is in Mustafapaşa , which was originally known as Sinasos, an old village where Turks and Greeks lived side by side and where old Greek stone houses can still be seen. The Greeks left the village during the exchange of populations in 1923 agreed in the Treaty of Lausanne, and many of the houses have been abandoned since then or later turned into hotels.

About Göreme

Göreme ligger i hjertet af Kappadokien, et surrealistisk landskab af fe-skorstene, grottekirker og daggryhimler fyldt med luftballoner.

Göremes huse og hoteller er hugget ind i blød vulkansk sten, og byen er omringet af dale med kegleformede fe-skorstene formet af erosion. Göreme Friluftsmuseum samler klippehuggede klostre og kirker, hvis fresker, malet af byzantinske munke, stadig gløder af farve, især i Den Mørke Kirke.

Top-ranked sights in Göreme: Pigeon Valley (Güvercinlik Vadisi), Devrent Valley (Devrent Vadisi), Monks Valley (Pasabag Vadisi).
