It is only 15 minutes walk from Goreme village center. It contains the finest of the rock-cut churches, with beautiful frescoes (wall paintings). It also presents unique examples of rock hewn architecture and fresco technique. The Goreme Open Air Museum has been a member of UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984, and was one of the first two UNESCO sites in Turkey. [goreme.com] |
