A Journey Through History and Art

The Göreme Open Air Museum, a UNESCO World Heritage site, is one of Cappadocia’s most remarkable attractions.

Visitors can explore the well-preserved frescoes that depict biblical scenes, admire the ingenious rock-cut structures, and experience the serenity of the cave dwellings that once housed monks and pilgrims. A visit to the Göreme Open Air Museum is a unique opportunity to step back in time and immerse yourself in the spiritual and artistic heritage of Cappadocia.
