About Göreme

Göreme est au cœur de la Cappadoce, paysage surréaliste de cheminées de fées, d'églises troglodytes et de ciels d'aube peuplés de montgolfières.

Les maisons et les hôtels de Göreme sont creusés dans la roche volcanique tendre, et la ville est entourée de vallées de cheminées de fées coniques façonnées par l'érosion. Le musée en plein air de Göreme rassemble des monastères et des églises taillés dans le roc, dont les fresques, peintes par des moines byzantins, brillent encore de couleurs, surtout dans l'église Sombre.
