Göreme national Park Area
The Göreme park covers 98,84 km², but all you need to see is collected in the vicinity of the city, formerly called Avcilar. The unusual landscape was formed thanks to a once awakened volcano, which turned this mountain valley into an unearthly area covered with tuf.
Fairy Chimney
Goreme National Park is decorated with rocky statues of different shapes and sizes, or as they are also called Peri bacaları, which means Fairy Chimney. Thanks to the work of nature and the man who loved this area, and turned out to be real cave towns.
Göreme rock churches
Rooms and churches in the rocks originated in the 6th century, this time became difficult for Christian believers. They fled From Byzantium, fleeing the invasion of the Arabs and found shelter in Cappadocia, namely the underground passages, and then began to work hard to turn them into whole cities, where only the locals could navigate. Among the monuments of Christian architecture that have survived to this day, preserved a convent, the temple of St. Basil, the church Elmali Kilise, the Dark Church and several others. Some of them can see ancient wall frescoes, especially well preserved in the Dark Church, due to the fact that the room inside the church is not exposed to ultraviolet light. There is always a twilight, hence the name.
