The Göreme Open-Air Museum, Cappadocia

 

	The Göreme Open-Air Museum was listed as a UNESCO World Heritage Site in 1985. Cappadocia’s landscape was formed by volcanic erosion. Thick ash solidified into soft rock, called tuff, and over time the tuff rocks eroded with wind and water, creating the iconic fairy chimneys we see today. There are a number of underground cities in Cappadocia, some connected by a network of tunnels which the inhabitants used it as a hide-out during the repressive year. There are as many as 600 churches carved from the soft Cappadocian rock dated back to Medieval times and display beautifully painted frescoes, which survives until today. The village of Göreme serves as the region’s main tourist centre and is also one of the few Cappadocian settlements still inhabited today. Christians gave the town of Göreme its name meaning ‘you cannot see here’, as they hid in the area during the Arab invasion. Spending a few days here in the center of Göreme original caves dwelling will provide you an experience of wonder that last a lifetime. Wake up to it magical surrounding with the play of lights from the sunrise against the shadows of fairy chimneys, savour the freshest of air and soak into the sight of multi colors balloons from your balcony guarantee the prefect magazine cover shot or imprint it into your mind eyes.
