About Göreme

Göreme sorge nel cuore della Cappadocia, paesaggio surreale di camini delle fate, chiese rupestri e cieli all'alba pieni di mongolfiere.

Le case e gli hotel di Göreme sono scavati nella tenera roccia vulcanica, e la città è circondata da valli di camini delle fate a forma di cono modellati dall'erosione. Il Museo all'Aperto di Göreme riunisce monasteri e chiese scavati nella roccia, i cui affreschi, dipinti da monaci bizantini, brillano ancora di colori, soprattutto nella Chiesa Oscura.

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