living art on the walls of rock carved churches in Goreme
Open Air Museum over centuries, signs of the civilizations
at cave dwellings in Zelve Open Air Museum and the "fairy
chimneys" in Pasabag are the highlights of this tour.
ITINERARY
Our first real encounter with Cappadocia’s
almost Martian landscape is in the Dervent valley, where
the rock formations are amazing. A walk through the
Zelve Open Air Museum is a journey into the past, with
its troglodyte houses. This is one of the earliest inhabited
and latest abandoned monastic settlements in Cappadocia.
After Zelve we visit Pasabag’s “fairy chimneys”,
where the voice of the wind harmonizes with the songs
of the fairies. From here we pause at Avanos, a centre
of terracotta art since 3,000 BC, for a demonstration
in a traditional pottery workshop. After lunch in Avanos,
we visit the famous Goreme Open Air Museum to see the
best examples of Byzantine art in Cappadocia. These
are found in rock-cut churches with frescoes and paintings
dating from as early as the 10th century. We complete
the tour with a visit to the Uchisar Rock-Castle, giving
you a panoramic view of the valleys of Cappadocia.
