Zelve Open-Air Museum is one of the oldest and most impressive monastic settlements in Cappadocia. Spread across three valleys, it features a labyrinth of rock-cut churches, homes, tunnels, and a historic mosque. Once a vibrant village, Zelve was abandoned in the 1950s due to erosion, and now stands as a fascinating blend of history and nature. Its dramatic scenery and lesser crowds make it a perfect spot for exploration and photography.

We will spend approximately 1 hour in this museum, known as the Valley of the Monks, which is the highest in the region and also contains rock formations with 2-3 heads. You will listen with astonishment from your guide to the story of St. Simeon's life in his house built on the rocks.

You will have fun moments with guided explanations in this open-air ruins, also known as Dream Valley, consisting of rock formations resembling different shapes.

Pottery and pottery, which were discovered in the Cappadocia region during the Hittite Civilization period and emerged by mixing red soil with water, contributed to the life of the people of the region. Later, this endeavor turned into art. At the destination, we will watch the demonstration of this art from the masters of the region. One lucky person will try to do this beautiful hobby.

To listen to the history of Uçhisar Castle, the highest point of the region, and take photos, take a short walk on the promenade under the castle.
