Itinerary

1. B.C. Cappadocia, which came under the rule of the Roman Empire in the 17th century, built monasteries, churches, cells and cellars with the work of Christian priests and monks, with Uçhisar Castle being the best example. The structures that have survived since the Byzantine Period were used for defense and shelter purposes.

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.
