Itinerary

1. Discover one of Cappadocia’s most unique heritage sites at Zelve Open Air Museum. Spread across three valleys, this ancient settlement features cave houses, rock-cut churches, tunnels, and a mosque carved into volcanic rock. Once a thriving monastic center and later a village, Zelve was abandoned in the 1950s, leaving behind a fascinating open-air museum that offers a glimpse into centuries of history, culture, and daily life in Cappadocia.

3. Step into a dreamlike landscape in Devrent Valley, also known as Imagination Valley, where nature has sculpted the rocks into surreal and whimsical shapes.

It’s a perfect stop for photography and letting your imagination run wild in Cappadocia’s most creative valley.

About Goreme

Göreme sits in the heart of Cappadocia, a surreal landscape of fairy chimneys, cave churches and dawn skies filled with hot-air balloons.

Göreme's houses and hotels are carved into soft volcanic rock, and the town is ringed by valleys of cone-shaped fairy chimneys shaped by erosion. The Göreme Open-Air Museum gathers rock-cut monasteries and churches whose frescoes, painted by Byzantine monks, still glow with colour, especially in the Dark Church.

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