HIGHLIGHTS OF FULL DAY
MTB TOUR 1

GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM |
Goreme was known, in the ancient times, as Korama.
The first references to it are in the early 7th
c Acts of St Hieron, a 3rd C. saint who was a native
of Matianoi, or the modern Maccan. Goreme is an
amphitheatre of ample portions surrounded by steep
cliffs leading to a pleasant, verdant valley, which
puzzles every single visitor, by the interesting
access to many of the caves. The place we refer
as the Goreme Open Air Museum is located in a small
part of the whole valley, and right next door to
the modern village of Goreme. It must have been
such a convenient place to dwell that Goreme acted
as one of the most important monastic settlements
in the early Christian ages.

THE DARK CHURCH |
Goreme Open Air Museum has so many churches, monasteries,
chapels and refectories carved in nearly the same
century. Some of these churches painted in different
periods with different techniques. The Dark Church
has the best frescoes of Cappadocia, maybe Turkey
!!! The art is living on the walls of the Dark Church.

ZELVE OPEN AIR MUSEUM |
The ancient town of Zelve lies in three adjacent
valleys with buildings carved into the steep sides
of the cliffs. The deserted cave dwellings and rock-cut
churches give a feeling of an Open Air Museum, which
is the right name for the site.
