A bit of Christian history in a Muslim country, and very interesting. Can get pretty crowded and hot, depending on the time of year, but should not be missed.

All I can say is, do not miss this. We nearly decided not to go, and how we would have regretted it. But go either early morning or after 4. It is magnificent and humbling, the churches are amazing. Don't forget to wear comfortable flat shoes, as there is a fair bit of walking, but all is very accessible

It is just like being in the badlands of Montana or Alberta. Layered rock structures are amazing and the history of pigeon raising is intriguing. All of these are nothing compared to seeing the cave homes ancient people built or the ancient 8th/12th century christian secret churches. The Frescos are unbelievable.

The Ihlara valley is a must for walkers walking the 12-14 kilometres from near the village of Ihlara. Worth paying a few Turkish Lira to do this. An... More

April is a great month for exploring this open air museum. It can become something of a furnace in the summer. The downside is that there are some who see this as the high season. the crowds can be large in the afternoon. Make sure that you see the Buckle church. Then go home and research the story of St....
