STORIES
A journey through rock settlementsWelcome.
Nevşehir's rock settlements, museums and valleys offer different forms of visitation. Consider the cities of Göreme, Uçhisar and underground as different layers of the region, not as repeated stops. You can travel between centers by vehicle, by foot in visiting areas.
Do not bring Cappadocia down to a single photographic point. Rock settlements, valleys, and underground cities open doors to different discoveries. Read the official access conditions for each stop; do not evaluate the walk in the valleys and museum visits with the same preparation. A discovery beginning in the vicinity of Goreme can extend to other districts and towns.
Nevşehir · Follow the trail.
A museum door, an old street, a break in nature, you choose the stops of your route.
