Tips from the community
An easy 1.5 km walk from the city center is Göreme’s Open Air Museum. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site, and a must-see part of the Cappadocian experience. Scattered around the museum grounds are ancient Christian churches dating between the 10th and 12th centuries. Because everything is well-labeled, it’s not the kind of place you desperately need a tour group to get a good sense of, so I would recommend getting there early and exploring while you have the place to yourself. While wandering the museum, you’ll enjoy a rare example of beautiful and well-preserved Christian frescoes.
