Ablauf

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.

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 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).
