About Göreme

Göreme liegt im Herzen Kappadokiens, einer surrealen Landschaft aus Feenkaminen, Höhlenkirchen und Morgenhimmeln voller Heißluftballons.

Die Häuser und Hotels von Göreme sind in weiches Vulkangestein gehauen, und der Ort ist von Tälern kegelförmiger, durch Erosion geformter Feenkamine umgeben. Das Freilichtmuseum von Göreme versammelt in den Fels gehauene Klöster und Kirchen, deren von byzantinischen Mönchen gemalte Fresken noch immer in Farben leuchten, besonders in der Dunklen Kirche.

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