Goreme Open-Air Museum

Goreme Open Air Museum is a UNESCO heritage site and it is an essential museum to understand the Christian heritage in Cappadocia. The monastic complex consists of hundreds of caves carved into soft volcanic rocks in hundreds of years. Today, the best examples of late Byzantium frescoed churches in Cappadocia are seen inside the open air museum of Goreme. Even though guiding inside the cave churches is prohibited by the Ministry of Culture and Tourism, our guide will assist you to each church and explain the structures before you enter so you can understand what you are looking at when you are inside by yourself. Your guide will wait you outside each church and complete the tour with you unlike most guides waiting you at the museum cafe.
