valleys with buildings carved into the steep sides

a traditional pottery workshop, which is possibly

DAY 2 |
GOREME OPEN AIR MUSEUM |
Goreme was known, in the ancient times, as Korama.
The first references to it are in the early 7th
c Acts of St Hieron, a 3rd C. saint who was a native
of Matianoi, or the modern Maccan. Goreme is an
amphitheatre of ample portions surrounded by steep
cliffs leading to a pleasant, verdant valley, which
puzzles every single visitor, by the interesting
access to many of the caves. The place we refer
as the Goreme Open Air Museum is located in a small
part of the whole valley, and right next door to
the modern village of Goreme. It must have been
such a convenient place to dwell that Goreme acted
as one of the most important monastic settlements
in the early Christian ages.

chapels and refectories carved in nearly the same
century. Some of these churches painted in different
periods with different techniques. The Dark Church
has the best frescoes of Cappadocia, maybe Turkey
!!! The art is living on the walls of the Dark Church.

in the steppes of Anatolia, the Melendiz River winds
its way down through Belisirma village, the ancient
Peristrema. In this "Valley of the Sky",
rock-cut churches that are found in the most unlikely
crevices, surprise you with their successfully painted
representations from the Bible.

DAY 3 |
AGZIKARAHAN CARAVANSERAI |
One of the greatest achievements of the Anatolian
Seljuks was the construction of a network of large
caravanserais in Anatolia. Having achieved political
stability, centralisation of power and control of
the overland trade, Seljuks began to open up a network
of international trade routes, adapting their military
and economic policies to the trade, to which they
accorded very great importance. International trade
between Anatolia and the Near East, Central Asia
and Europe was carried by the carvans, with caravanserais
providing overnight accommodation, food and security
for the travellers, as well as serving as staging
post for the armies.
