Akdamar Island
Island
Nature & Parks
Home to a historic church & many bird species, this 3-km. long island is the largest in Lake Van.
One of the most well maintained antique church I’ve seen. The trip os beautiful as you take a boat and enjoy the view. Nice cafe and souvenir store on the island.
To get there is tricky. You must drive to the port with enough time since they need at least 12 people per boat. We went at 15:00 and departed at 16:40 which in this case it was the last ferry. So don’t be confident you’ll make it in low season, give yourself enough time.

Wonderful island, amazing history, peaceful during the week. The dance party boat is terrible. Island entry price of 290pp is way too steep, (especially when it should include an audio guide which they only have in Turkish.) That's the normal entry price for adults, BTW, not just foreigners. Saw plenty of locals paying that. Still...absolutely worth the half day trip. Take swimming gear, picnic go early, and take an afternoon boat back. Magic.

It is a beautiful island! Not big but the view is amazing. You can see the lake and mountains at the same time. There is two different port you can take a boat to Island. and Island has as well. It takes around 40min or 1 hour-ish. Depends on from which port you take a boat.
SoYa TR — Google review
Beautiful island with a beautiful architecture of the church. You can take ferries for 25TL (2021 prices, forth and back total price). You gotta be careful in off season as the ferry waits for at least 10 people to load, or expect to pay more. I had to rent it all alone as there was nobody in December. Make sure you buy a museum card at the entrance as it is cheaper that way. U can use the ticket for the Van castle and Van museum, too.

12 EUR entrance fee is a bit too much for this place. I did not pay because I think it isn't that worth.

Really one of the perfect and impressive places that I ever been, I would give more stars than 5......
P.S. April is the best time to go there, where trees all the way are flowing.....
Dav Ghazaryan — Google review
A great place to visit but the Museum fee to enter does not warrant the appalling amount of litter and disgusting state of the toilets, which the museum staff seem to willing use without complaint.
My first picture shows an empty rubbish bin with litter by the path
Imagine how clean you would like to be before you pray and translate this to the level of cleanliness that is required. Whatever the situation respect for the country and environment is your responsibility

Not easy to get to by public transport (take a dolmus to Gevas from the main state road), and way too touristic. The grounds are littered with trash and the view is not nearly as nice in autumn as in spring.

Sunken cities are typically the stuff of legend, but at the end of last year archaeologists found the real thing hiding deep within Lake Van in Turkey.
After a decade of searching the Middle East's second largest lake, the home of a lost kingdom has been found hundreds of metres beneath the surface.

Just wow and amazing place. The moment you walk into the Hasan Pasha Inn it feels like you are in a different world. This is a place where you feel the culture of Diyarbakir. I can advise to have a breakfast here and enjoy this Inn for a couple of hours.

An excellent place to have your breakfast, when you are in Diyarbakır.
The atmosphere and design are historical, you will see these in this Bazar in general.
The staff are helpful and respectively follow your requests.
The serviced food are awesome, whatever in your mind is infront of your eyes.
The only difficulty you will face is going upstairs, since the ladders are narrow and high, making climbing hard.
Hayman Sardar — Google review
Built between 1572 and 1575, the Han hosted several travelers from Evliya Çelebi to Leh Simeon. It could hold 500 horses in its underground barns and had comfortable accommodations for the travelers. These made it the preferred location for all types of travellers.

The City Walls Suit Otel
Extended stay hotel
Sights & Landmarks
As an avid traveler who frequently embarks on business trips, I have never encountered such a splendid hotel nestled in the heart of the city. The City Walls Suit Otel is an immaculate and welcoming establishment that I highly recommend. Its pristine condition and warm hospitality make for an unparalleled experience. The photographs effortlessly convey the essence of this phenomenal hotel. Sincere gratitude is owed to the hotel staff for providing such exceptional accommodations.
(Translated by Google) As a person who travels a lot for work, I have never stayed in such a beautiful hotel in the center of the city. It is a clean and hospitable hotel. I would definitely recommend it. You will definitely understand what I mean in the photos..
Thank you very much to them.

(Translated by Google) I called and made a reservation during the holiday, only that morning. When we went to the hotel in the evening, our room was not reserved. Because they couldn't find an excuse, they said, 'We've been looking for you since morning, we couldn't reach you. In fact, is your name Merve?' They said. I called at this time and said that my name is Nuray and I spoke to this person. Then he found a manuscript with my name on it. They kept saying, 'We couldn't reach them by calling'. We left without delay. We even had a hard time finding another hotel because it was very crowded during the holiday. Anyways. In short, a place with two-faced, lying employees.
Yes, the hotel replied to my review. I am adding to it. You said on the phone that you reserved our room without asking for any fee. If you want to take a look at all your phone calls at noon on May 3, and if you look at your camera records between 18:00 and 19:00 in the evening, you can see us, what you said, your mixing of papers, etc.
(Original)
Bayramda telefonla arayıp rezervasyon yaptırdım, daha o sabah. Akşam otele gittiğimizde odamız ayrılmamıştı. Bir bahane bulamadıkları için ‘Sizi sabahtan beri aradık, ulaşamadık. Hatta adınız Merve dimi?’ Dediler. Adımın Nuray olduğunu şu saatte arayıp şu kişiyle konuştuğumu söyledim. Sonra müsvedde bir kağıt buldu benim adımın yazılı olduğu. ‘Arayıp ulaşamadık’ demeye devam ettiler. Biz de uzatmadan ayrıldık. Bayramda çok kalabalık olduğu için başka bir otel bulmakta zorlandık hatta. Neyse. İki yüzlü, yalancı çalışanların olduğu bir yer kısaca.
Evet, otel yorumuma cevap yazmış. Ona istinaden ekleme yapıyorum. Telefonda herhangi bir ücret talebi istemeden odamızı ayırdığınızı söylediniz. 3 mayıs günü öğle saatlerindeki bütün telefon konuşmalarınıza bir bakın isterseniz ve akşam saat 18:00 - 19:00 arasındaki kamera kayıtlarınıza bakarsanız bizi, söylediklerinizi, kağıtları karıştırmanızı vs görebilirsiniz.

(Translated by Google) We went to the hotel upon recommendation and stayed with my family for 4 days and were extremely satisfied. The location is in the center of the city, close to everywhere, right next to the civil store, and close to many places within walking distance of Nineveh Shopping Mall. The hotel facilities are more than sufficient, the breakfast and the kitchen ambiance are very nice. It is a hotel suitable for staying with the family. We were as comfortable as our home. Thank you very much for everything. We had a pleasant holiday and a pleasant stay.

(Translated by Google) First of all, I recommend it to everyone. I have been traveling for my job for many years. The thing I pay most attention to in hotels is cleanliness. The cleanliness was far above my expectations from this hotel, they provided me with home cleanliness and hygiene in the room. All I can say is good luck. I will choose this hotel again because of its cleanliness and because it is in the center of the city. Mr. Mehmet and other employees do their job well, are disciplined and friendly, and it is also admirable. .

Bu oteli yeniden temizliği için ve şehrin merkezinde olmasi nedeniyle tercih edeceğim. Mehmet bey ve diğer çalışanlar işini iyi yapan , disiplinli ve güler yüzlü olmanız ayrıca takdire değer. .

(Translated by Google) Perfect! I stayed at the hotel with my wife. It was our first time in Diyarbakir. The rooms were beautiful and very clean! We were very satisfied. We felt ourselves at home. The staff was extremely concerned. They helped us to have a great time in Diyarbakir. Where to go, where to eat etc. they all helped. Our room had everything, washing machine, air conditioner, kitchen etc. The lobby is also beautiful. If you want to have a peaceful coffee and tea in the evening. You already know that there is no breakfast/meal, and I don't think you want to eat at the hotel when you are in Diyarbakir. It was also very good for the price. If we come to Diyarbakir again, we will definitely choose The City Walls Suite Hotel again. Special thanks to Mr. Diren and other staff.

(Translated by Google) Never stay!! The rooms smell like cigarettes. Even though I asked for a non smoking room it was ignored. No invoice was issued on behalf of my company, I ran after them for 3 days to get my invoice. It works like a runaway hotel, not a 4 star hotel. I will never stay again.

(Translated by Google) My wife was staying, so we went later. Even though they saw that we had the luggage and the baby in our hands, they did not help us. Unfortunately, the staff who knew how to check us in did not bring a towel or a quilt to the room for the second person. Breakfast is not an open buffet. When I asked for our room to be cleaned, I received an unreasonable answer saying "it was cleaned yesterday". Sir, you are running a hotel, those rooms are cleaned every day, they should be cleaned. The attitude and demeanor of the staff makes you feel like you are redundant there. I recommend training in customer etiquette.

Eşim kalıyordu bizde sonrasında gittik, elimizde bavulların ve bebeğin olduğunu görmelerine rağmen yardım etmemeleri, girişimizi yapmayı bilen personelin, odaya ne yazık ki ikinci kişi için ne bir havlu ne bir yorgan getirmemesi.

Efendim otel işletiyorsunuz o odalar her gün temizlenir, temizlenmelidir. Personelin tavrı ve tutumu size orada fazlalık hissiyatı verir cinsten.

Extensive hilltop remains of a stone castle dating back to the 8th century B.C.
It was a fully amazing experience and the atmosphere was so good old, nice and peaceful place. Clean and good looking. You can literally see the entire city from there. Walkable place for couples. The hospitality at the restaurant around the place was perfect not crowded at all about 17:00 o’clock.

Harput Castle, also known as Milk Castle, is a castle located in the historical Harput neighborhood within the borders of the current Elazig province, Turkey. It was built by the Urartians on a rectangular plan. The castle consists of two parts, internal and external. According to legend, a scarcity of water and abundance of milk during its construction meant that milk was added to the castle's mortar, leading to it being sometimes called "Milk Castle".
There was no entry fee. They are still digging the remains of some areas. Would advise to wear closed shoes especially sneakers or mountain wear. It is a hike. Not good for strollers. Well kept
maintained . Amazing view. Must visit location. It made me wonder how would they fight all the way up those mountains with the outfits when I could barely carry myself.

From downtown take the Bus #23.. it makes rounds between the city and Harput center. At exact hour, example 14:00 departs from downtown, very close to Doubletree hotel. Reaches to Harput at 14:19. And Departs at 14:20 from the same place to go towards the city.
For me 1 hour was enough to visit the Castle. But there is downhill and uphill walking too much. Be prepared and don't rush your visit. Just take the bus on the other hour.
But make sure when the last bus departs.
Mount Nemrut is a well-known mountain peak that boasts an array of stone sculptures near an ancient royal tomb. These impressive statues can be found on two terraces flanking Antiochus' enormous gravel-covered burial mound. Despite suffering damage from earthquakes, the colossal bodies and 2m-high heads of the sculptures remain awe-inspiring, with the Eastern Terrace's thrones and bodies better preserved than those on the Western Terrace.
It is an awesome historical place! You can come up with a car and hiking for 20min. It has stairs and is a tidy road. So easy to hike up. Recommend to come at sunset time! So beautiful. Don’t forget to bring warm clothes! If you bring hot tea or coffee with you, makes it much nicer to watch the sunset.

Great place to see king antiochos and helenistic gods statues with the amazing view.
hint:
-be ready for 20-30 min. mountain hiking to the peak
-take some jacket or fleece regardless of the season
-facility(food, drinks) below opens in first week of April, otherwise bring some water or food with you
-east terrace has better view(personal opinion:) )
-try to catch sunset or sunrise
-follow the way of karakus tumulusu, cendere bridge(longer)

Amazing place. A mountain, 2150 metres above the sea level. The tomb of the king Antioch. There are statues of different mythological persons. You will be taken by the tour to the foot of the mountain and then you will have to climb up a bit. It is the great place to see the sunset though you are highly recommended to take warmer clothes and also maybe a bottle of wine to enjoy p. Also people get up at around 4:30 a.m to meet the sun in the morning and again it might ne windy so take a thermos with coffee or tea. This kind of sunrise is definitely different from the one you see at the seaside and it worth watching it!

Wonderful scenic place. The statues are very impressive. Steep climb and slight altitude so take it slow. Gets cold on top so have a jacket. Wish they would clean up and people would not leave their plastic bottles.

Magical place to visit. It’s quite a drive to the top but absolutely worth it! We went there for sunset in December, and it was magical. Barely anyone on the site. We were the last one leaving as the sun was setting down.
Lucas Muller — Google review
It’s 3 km of hiking in the snow after 3 km of driving on snowing road. Takes ~3 hours to visit. We hired a guide from Kahta. But you might be able to do it on your own if you are experienced winter driver and hiker.

Really special to be there for sunrise. Check the weather before planning the experience as it can be quite invigorating in the morning. We stayed roughly 45mn-1h there but would have stayed longer if it weren't for the wind.
As recommended by some people, we contacted Ramo (guide and taxi driver) and would strongly recommend to do so : +905368730534 (super helpful, english speaker and available on whatsapp).
He picked us up from Mardin otogarı in the night, drove us all the way to the top (we only needed to walk 5mn to reach the Eastern terrasse), waited for us for as long as we needed and then dropped us back at the otogarı around 8 in the morning. He also arranged for us to hop on a bus to Göreme at 12.

You get an amazing 360° view here, it's absolutely beautiful!
We went here in the evening to watch sunset. The weather wasn't good, it was very cloudy and even started raining as soon as we reached. It was also the eve of national election so there was literally nobody. Ticket costs TRY100 per head. We came here from Malatya, no need to hike to reach the top. Just park your car and walk 5 mins.

. A must see. Beutiful scenery right at the peak of the mountain
Cozmic Gate — Google review
Great view and nice sunset experience. The statues are wild to look at, although smaller than I expected. We came from Malatya and it really does take 2hr, most of the drive is a lot of tight hill climb on decently paved road. It gets narrow in some portions, but nothing scary really. Once you get close to the top, you have to stop at a building and pay for entrance. Note that it's cash only. They say there's no signal for a card reader, although my phone worked fine. The last bit of drive is unpaved and pretty warn. If you have a little wheezy car like we did, you need to keep your momentum, there are some areas to get a running start if you botch it. It's not a vehicle I would have picked for this task, but it made it up. You can also walk, but it's at least 2km of switch backs and you're at 7700m elevation so it will take you a while.
Michael Leahy — Google review
Amazing place to see the Sunrise and Sunset. We drove from the Malatya to the site with our Ford Camper. Dirt road was difficult for large vehicle.
The morning can be bit chilly and windy so be prepared.

It's worth a trip to the area. Tour from Goreme to Mt Nemrut and Gobeklitepe with Yama Tours.

I was moved to tears when I first saw these incredible ancient statues. The half hour steep walk up was hard on the lungs and the descent was hard on the knees. But worth the massive effort. At the top of this ancient mound are huge statues that are magical. Definitely a highlight in my exciting life. If you adore archeology and ancient art, you would love to see the sunset over this 2,000 year old site.

Ulu Cami
Mosque
Sights & Landmarks
Architectural Buildings
Ulu Cami is an ancient mosque that holds great historical significance and ought to be preserved and maintained. It serves as a reminder of the mighty Seljuks Empire, specifically during the Selcuk era. In order to keep it relevant to the younger generation, efforts should be made to ensure its daily use and engagement. A notable occurrence took place when I arrived before 10 am, as thankfully the imam appeared to open up this remarkable mosque.
Historical buildings ie Mosque that we should preserve & maintain. Also should be used on daily basis ie make it relevant to young generation. Reached there before 10am, alhamdulillah imam came to open this Mosque.

The restoration work has been very well done, just a few bits either left on purpose or still to be fixed. Lovely main dome and tiles. My only disappointment was the minbar. It looks plastic and the shiny black varnish was poorly chosen - it looks out of place.

This mosque & hospital complex was built in the 13th century & features stone carvings.
It was still closed cause of the side renovation.
It will reopen late in May. Beautiful local people, lovely town.

The Great Mosque is under a major renovation for few years and will be for few more years. Still can see the doors from our side platform, but that is it, nothing else is accesible.

Sadly the building is under restoration and you are unable to go inside. However, you can see two sides where there are three portals with exquisitely decorated stonework and patterns.

This impressive built was built in Seljuk times. There is not good informing around the mosque so I recommend you to search about it before going. It is daid that it will be under construction for following 2 years so it won’t be possible to see inside.

Unfortunately, the interior of the Mosque was closed due to restoration (july 2019), so I could only see the exterior. The gates are all extensively decorated with different patterns carved in the rocks.

Reached by a narrow road, this hilltop attraction has a viewing terrace & small cafe.
The Hittites (/ˈhɪtaɪts/) were an Anatolian people who played an important role in establishing first a kingdom in Kussara (before 1750 BC), then the Kanesh or Nesha kingdom (c. 1750–1650 BC), and next an empire centered on Hattusa in north-central Anatolia (around 1650 BC).[2][3] This empire reached its height during the mid-14th century BC under Šuppiluliuma I, when it encompassed an area that included most of Anatolia as well as parts of the northern Levant and Upper Mesopotamia.

The place is and unique. You can look down though a enforced glass floor. There are many people visiting. So expect a crowd. It has also nice cafeteria where you can order you coffee and carbonated beverages. I don't remember they are having a food.
Overall it is close to main highway. Just 5 minutes of drive. It wouldn't be lost if time. I could promise that.

Very well located, on the rim of thr valley, the restaurant offers a stunning view. There are also some tables around where you can stay for free and admire the view. Please understand that in order to enter this entire region, which is in fact a park, you must pay (it was around 7tl, I think, per car.)

This is the place to feel good and relaxed. Such a lovely lake this place has. I suggest everyone to give a visit to have a good time. It's almost 1 hour away from Sivas city centre.
(Translated by Google) Let me tell you from the beginning that you cannot find an appointment that easily. However, I was very pleased with the overall service quality. Although it may seem complicated inside because it is a large place, the directional signs at the beginning of each corridor allow you to find your way very easily. Oh, if only we could find an appointment easily. May God not let anyone fall here...

(Translated by Google) They wanted to take my patient to the intensive care unit because his condition was urgent. At first, I didn't want to admit him, and my patient didn't want to lie down either. When the doctor said, you know, but if he does, we can relieve him a little, let him stay for a few days, and discharge him if he wants, I was convinced. I say thank you to whoever comes, but I think my brother (he was 28) would have lived longer if I had not been hospitalized. The medical intervention they gave at the hospital killed my brother. I do not forgive my rights.

Hunat, Sivas Blv. 24/1, 38090 Melikgazi/Kayseri, Türkiye
Mt Erciyes is a 12,851-foot peak renowned for its ski resort and hiking and mountaineering opportunities. The mountain boasts of an incredible skiing experience at a reasonable price with plenty of slopes to explore. Weekdays are the best times to visit as it's less crowded. It's highly recommended to visit in February for more snow and fewer stones. The skiing area spans an impressive 102 km length of slopes, making it one of the finest skiing destinations near Kayseri.
Accidentally or incidentally saw this place on our drive from Kapadokya (Cappadocia) to Kayseri airport to catch our flight back to Istanbul.
Seeing the beauty of Erciyes backdrop, I decided to cancel my flight ticket back to Istanbul and ended up staying 2 nights close to Mt. Erciyes.
What an absolutely beautiful place,
There is a telefrik that takes us up mid way for a mere 15 TL/person (or 0.4 GBP) .
Up there is a small cafe that sells reasonable snacks, tea, coffee amongst other food items like lahmacun.
Adjacent to the telefrik entrance are shops that rents out ski equipments for very reasonable rates (compared to other ski resorts worldwide).
They also rent out the tiny ski boats (looks like a much smaller snowmobile, but this is manual) for very nominal rates.
Also there are a few cafes around with lots of options to eat/drink.
Absolutely recommended for a maximum 2 days stop over.

Erciyes Mountain is an absolute marvel! The breathtaking scenery, encompassing snow-capped peaks and serene landscapes, creates an extraordinary backdrop. Whether you’re an avid skier or just seeking a nature retreat, Erciyes offers an unparalleled experience. The well-maintained facilities, diverse trails, and welcoming atmosphere make it a must-visit destination. A truly extraordinary mountain escape!

Gumusler Monastery
Historical place

Large monastery carved into rock, known for its striking Byzantine frescoes & underground rooms.
Visited this place many times in the past. We brought friends here this July and found it better organized and cleaner. There were many newlywed couples visiting which made it more special. The artwork is well preserved and well worth a visit.

Lovely experience of this monastery - above and under ground. You can spend an hour or 2 here. Unfortunately not a lot of information is provided. Turkish and English info. Entrance is 60 Turkish liera and after exploring the area through the main entrance - there are more to explore through a gate next to that.

A surprise stop on our way from Göreme to the coast. Entrance cost about $2 in 2023. I think the outer caves can be visited for free
The monastery is hewn from the rock, similar to Göreme and Derinkuyu. Stop here rather than Derinkuyu, much quieter and no crowds.

It contains many tunnels and rooms which you can explore, there are also remains of frescoes and stonework from a nearby ancient city.
The rest of the hillside has hundreds of other cave dwellings with interconnecting tunnels, some as large a modern houses.
The Monastery has a small entrance fee but the hundreds of caves can be explored for free.
A very interesting site that is definitely worth a detour.

Extremely fun day activity! If you’re in Niğde then I HIGHLY recommend checking this out. I am normally admittedly afraid of heights and tight spaces- I confronted my fears and it was totally worth it. If you choose to climb around and go deeper into the structure it’s rewarding, BUT have no fear- there is still a lot of cool stuff to see whether you climb or stay more grounded.

That’s a meaningful monastery with a very special church inside it, everything carved on the stones. The area is surrounded by caves. You can easily imagine the whole village of those times.

Stunning frescoes to see in this very interesting rock cut monastery. If you're able to get there, this is an excellent outing while in Cappadocia.

There are ruins of an archaeological site except monastery but only monastery was opened to visit. Even other parts of archeological site were closed to visit it was worth to visit. Security guy told me only smiling Virgin Mary painting is in this monastery but I couldn't confirm this information.

Area of unusual tuff-&-basalt rock formations, some of which have been turned into hotels.
These beautiful rock formations are breathtaking. The colors of various layers on the rock are so distinct. Carved into the formations are small caves that were used mostly for meditation. The wide open space and scenic views are certainly very calming.

Spectacular sight! The ticket allows you entrance to walk amongst the bases of the fairy chimneys. Crowded but with patience you can still take great photos. Kids love this place due to the fairy connotation and the fact that they can crawl into the carved out rooms in the chimneys. The same ticket (100TL, 2022-11-12) allows you entrance to both the Fairy Chimneys and Zelve Open Air Museum .

It took me 1 hour to fully explore the museum. During this time I visited the central part. In the cave with the window, where everyone takes pictures, I climbed up to the 3rd floor (note that it might not be safe). I also walked all around and climbed up to the viewpoint to the right of the museum entrance (last photo).

Amazing experience and very unique atmosphere. The shapes of the shape and form of the rocks is very interesting to see how they shaped and moved in millions of years. Totally recommend it specially with a english speaking guild so to understand the history and locations.

It is a really nice place and worth visiting... but if you are sensitive to animals I recommend you to bring some food, because there are starving dogs in the enclosure.

What an amazing place to visit. It's a small open air rock formation museum. Fairly accessible for all. It's not too big, a couple of hours will be more than enough. But make no mistake, spending an entire evening here would be possible too. Much recommended.

Lots of rubbish around the coach parking. The owners of this tourist attractions should take responsibility and clear the rubbish around their location. There are plenty of bins so why do people just throw by the roadside.
This is a nice attraction to visit but not a big area. Still nice visit.

Fantastic open air museum. The road where you used to be able to drive through has been closed and so you can walk freely around once you enter.
There is a fee to pay for entry and gates to go through, but it is very reasonable.
We went in the evening just before sunset and it was very peaceful with very few other visitors around.

This place os also known as Monks Valley after hermit monks that carved their shelters in these rock formations during Byzantine times and Paşabağ, after the Pasha's Vineyards in the area during Ottoman times. Do you require a ticket to enter and the same ticket is valid for the nearby Zelve Open Air Museum.

Not as extensive as some other other valleys, but with a unique collection of rock forms based on the localised strata. Probably the only valley that is wheelchair-accessible.
Steve Waters — Google review
Yet another eye-catching collection of peculiar rock formations, this time interspersed among mini-vineyards.
I hiked in from a small trail west of the official attraction, which offered a great view down onto the site, as well as many other fairy chimneys to walk amongst. Plus, it was free :)
The trail serves as a nice starting point to hike back to Cavusin, stopping off at the Cavusin Cave Castle and an essential summit to the Zelve Mountain Lookout.

The Goreme Open Air Museum is a collection of churches and other structures carved into volcanic rock that are open to the public. Visitors can wander among the elaborate carvings, taking in the history of Cappadocia while they're at it.
Best open air museum in the area (there are more) as per local guide. Staff at ticket is friendly. There is a nice cafe and shop just outside. We hired a local guide over there who gave us a good tour. Really impressive structures and carvings and frescoes. Must visit

This UNESCO world heritage site is a must see. Go early, as it gets very crowded when the tour buses arrive. Since they do not allow photos in many of the nicer churches/rooms, I was lucky to have a guide with a great book published several years ago full of pictures. I was able to take pictures of the pictures.

Nice museum and I do recommend going. The ancient frescoes in the cave churches are remarkable. On the downside it is a pretty small venue with lots of limitations on camera use (you’re not supposed to take any pictures of the frescoes) and the cost of €20 (plus 6 more if you want to see the dark church) is pretty high considering what you get. Expect to spend 1-1.5 hours on site at most.
Paul Inberg — Google review
A must visit when here in Cappadocia. This place is full of ancient small churches. Recommended to buy the audio guide or have a tour guide with you to explain the history of the place. Expect to spend about 1.5 hrs here. FYI if you're taking coach bus, there are alot more stores and souvenirs at the area where the bus coaches wait.
SL Wong — Google review
Stunning views! Even more interesting that thousands years ago there were people lived in there.
We can walk, rent 3 wheeler, jeep to get closer to those rocks and enjoy sunset at the end.
Don’t bother to hesitate, this is really a must-see spot. Those rocks are magnificent!

The entire place is fascinating, you can never get bored of walking and looking around, it seem to be from another world. I will definitely get back here even if I’m that type of person who doesn’t like to visit same place twice, I always like to discover new places but this is one of the places that definitely is worth it.

Extremely interesting and unique place to explore.

Very very incredible. I have been here twice, and it will never stop blowing my mind. The many churches with incredibly preserved paintings throughout made our jaws drop. The history of this place, and the people that lived here way back when will never not be interesting.
Very steep price, but totally worth it. It’s extra to go into the dark church, where I believe it’s not a must see. It’s not very expensive, so do it, but if you don’t have the time, you’re not missing much. Some of the other churches around are just as incredible
Emma Saunderson — Google review
A great historical spot, but sad that there were so many people. I paid for the audio guide and found it didn’t really provide all that much interesting info. The fantastic history and beautiful geography would be worthy of a 5 star rating, but the crowds really took away from the experience.
FYI, the Dark Church requires an extra entrance fee.
Dean Webber — Google review
One of the best Open-air Museum I've ever visited! Immense yourself by the sheer amount of exploration and adventure you will have here. This museum has a lot of historical values to offer, mainly about the stones and the volcanic and tectonic activities that happened thousands of years prior.

This area contains the best cave churches in Cappadocia and several monastic complexes. Please note that it is still being excavated. In 1985, the Göreme Open Air Museum was recognized as a UNESCO World Heritage Site. You have to visit not only Göreme Open Air Museum, but the entire area as there are over 60 cave churches and numerous ancient settlements in Cappadocia.

Really nice place to walk around and learn the history and culture of the region . Some amazing cave churches with well preserved frescoes. One thing is the weather needs to be suitable as it’s open air also when we were there some of the caves were closed

The Open Air Museum of Göreme is a fascinating place to visit if you are interested in the history and culture of Cappadocia. It is a UNESCO World Heritage Site that contains many rock-carved churches and monasteries from the Byzantine period. You can see the amazing frescoes that decorate the walls and ceilings of these structures, depicting scenes from the Bible and the lives of the saints. Some of the most famous churches in the museum are the Dark Church, the Apple Church, the Snake Church, and the Buckle Church.
The museum is located in the Göreme Valley, which is also full of other attractions such as caves, fairy chimneys, and tombs. You can explore the valley on foot, by bike, or by horseback. You can also join a guided tour to learn more about the history and architecture of the museum and the valley. The museum is open every day from 9:00 AM to 5:00 PM, and you need to buy a separate ticket for the Dark Church.
A good tip is to get a museum pass, you can use it all over Turkey.

Definitely the place to visit when in Cappadocia!
We visited at the end of the day (just before 6pm) and were the last people to be admitted. As such we did not have much time to spend, however, we were not met with congestion and loads of tourists around and we got great sunset views! We decided to get a tour guide for 25 euros (discounted price as we were last and he would not be spending much time with us) who was courteous and eager. Nevertheless, I have to admit his knowledge was not extending beyond the information we could find on the signs outside each monastery, church and monument. So it was a little waste of money, but a great company nonetheless!
Tips:
(1) go either first thing in the morning or last thing in the afternoon - but allow yourself time for visiting all places of interest.
(2) do your research with hiring a tour guide and ensure you find someone knowledgeable with good reviews online. The price can always be negotiated on the spot depending on the type of tourist you are - wanting pics and a story for your friends and family or wanting the full blown historic facts tour with a bit of the rest too!
(3) DO NOT TAKE PICTURES IN CHURCHES WHERE NOT ALLOWED- I could not stress enough how hostile the staff/security are when they see you holding a phone, camera upon entry. We had a terrible experience with a particular security staff who did not speak a word of English and was shouting and threatening us for making the mistake of walking in with the camera on after taking pics outside. They are rude, (clearly) dislike tourists (and their job as they appeared bored to say the least) and you won't be able to win an argument with them.
(4) wear comfortable shoes as some of the points of climbing are slippery. Comfortable clothing and a hat are also recommended. Take your bottle of water too as there is a cafeteria only at the entrance/exit.

Audio guide asked for passport as security which is weird - I’d never do that, they need to sort that our. Apart from that Great place - it’s amazing to see this landscape - but the interpretation is very limited restricting the quality of experience. You can take the local guides but your experience depends on the quality of guides themselves. You need good 2hrs to complete this place. We enjoyed looking at the landscape but you need non slippery shoes and walk around carefully.
The landscape and views are great.

A very unique place. A fair bit to explore. Take your time. There are many interesting caves. Make sure you walk all the way to the end and back. It was really beautiful and worth the walk. We visited in winter, the weather was nice and it was not overcrowded.

About 25m walk from the Goreme town centre, google maps shows a route taking hour and half but that’s incorrect.
We didn’t enter the museum seeing some of the reviews here about churches being closed, it also appeared busy with a lot of buses full of people coming in, we instead took the route from the outside that gives some spectacular views of the valley and did a small hike nearby - which was extremely peaceful, hardly any tourists and allowed us to soak in the views and the beauty of the area. Definitely recommend the walks around the museum, can’t comment on the museum itself.
Thomas Goldby — Google review
I was very impressed with this place. However, spending a few days in Cappadocia, there are other more impressive locations. I don't mean to take away from the open air museum but you can get better value for money at the other sites. My 2 main issues were firstly the price which did not include entry into the church cave. This was extra when you have already paid in. Secondly, the audio guide is only available via your phone, which for many travellers is not accessible. Overall all the site is beautiful and worth a visit if you are under time constraints. However, I later found far better value and more interesting locations within the region. We visited in the off season and it was busy enough with tourists. I wouldn't like to see it at the height of the tourist season. I'd say it would be extremely crowded.
Cliff BT Reid — Google review
A monastic life was present intensively in Göreme from 4th century AD to 13th century. There were church, cafe, and rest places in the cave and with a batch of ascetic monks. You may see a lot of painting on the rock. The first is painting directly on the rock surface, smoothing it out; the second work is a painting on the rock using the tempera technique.
Seeker Star — Google review
I think it is a bit overpriced for what it is. The valley just beside the ‘museum’ is nicer and free. On the site, it’s mostly churches and churches and more churches. It’s nice to see the paintings though, but in my opinion maybe not worth 480TL.
Isabelle Gadbois — Google review
I must admit that this open air museum was a little underwhelming. The audio guide could be more accessible, without needing the customer to download the app and go through a complicated procedure. Otherwise, it was quite interesting, but it would’ve been better if there was more information and there were guides to provide more contextual knowledge about the history of the area.

Pigeon Valley is a popular tourist attraction in Goreme, Turkey. This easygoing hiking trail offers stunning views of the city and ancient rocks, as well as carved pigeon houses that give the valley its name. Visitors can feed the pigeons by purchasing food and enjoy tea, coffee or light snacks from nearby shops. The valley is also home to many gift shops for souvenirs.
We visited Pigeon Valley as a part of The Green tour. As the name suggests there are lots of pigeons. You can feed them if you want by buying food for them. You also get a great view of the city and ancient rocks which makes it a great spot for photos.
There are plenty of shops around for tea, coffee or light snacks as well as gift shops.30 minutes is more than enough time to spend here.

Nice place to hike for few hours on your own pace. Pretty quiet as tours don't go down the valley. You can park your car in the parking lot (free), take pictures by the tree with pottery and eye symbols with a view on Ucisar castle.
After you done with photos there, go down and explore the views from vlose proximity. We went down and walked to Ucisar castle fown the valley. Great time and a lot of photos.

We really enjoyed hiking the easy trail of the pigeon valley. People usually just take a picture from the viewpoint so its a great place to walk, and enjoy with no people. Lots of little caves, rock formations, lots of birds and peaceful. In total its 4 km to Goreme but you can walk less. We recommend at least to go 2 km ( half way) to get a view of the next valley.

As you travel through Cappadocia, you may find yourself in Pigeon Valley. For most people, it's a stop on the road where you can see more of the rock formations the area is famous for. Naturally, you have the opportunity to buy more trinkets, My favorite shop has to be the natural Viagra store. It sells herbs and spices -- no medications --but I love the name. There's also a big pigeon statue.

We walked about 15 minutes down in the valley until we got to a sewage leak that covered the whole path in sewage. It smelled so bad and we didn’t want to step in it so we turned back. It was a nice 30 mins walk. You can get up close to the caves and see a lot of pigeons in the beginning. There is also a nice view of the castle from the parking.

Pigeon Valley, with its stunning landscapes and unique rock formations, is undeniably a fantastic spot for photography enthusiasts. The natural beauty of the valley, coupled with the surreal sight of countless pigeonholes carved into the rocks, makes it a captivating location for capturing memorable shots.
However, it's important to note that Pigeon Valley's popularity can lead to it getting quite busy, especially during peak tourist seasons. As a result, you may find yourself having to wait for your turn to get that perfect photo or a quiet moment to take in the scenery without the crowds.
Despite the potential for crowds, the breathtaking views and the opportunity to witness the unique geological and historical features of the valley make it well worth a visit. Just be prepared to exercise a bit of patience to fully appreciate the beauty of Pigeon Valley.

We visited pigeon valley as a part of the green tour. It’s quite close to Gerome. It’s a valley full of small caves cut in stone, they were traditionally used to house pigeons. In the ancient times pigeon poop was very expensive hence those who owned these houses were rich. You can also visit the valley as a trek. It is an enjoyable experience.

Interesting place if you understand the story that goes with this. Pigeons were very important those days. So this entire valley was dedicated to pigeons. Pigeons were used as messengers, their dung was used as fertilizers for crops and the dungs were used to harden the walls of the caves.
Dhennver Ng — Google review
It's an open place, not requiring tickets.
As per history, pigeons were primary messengers at that point of time, so utmost care was taken for the pegions.
They were used primarily for two things, one was as messengers and secondly these small houses were only made for the sole purpose that persons could come and make a nest for themselves, the droppings of the pigeons provided as manure to the people which could be used in farming.
It's worth a visit, to see how small houses are made, how paintings are created on the walls to attract the pegions to these houses.

One of the highlights of Pigeon Valley is the extensive network of pigeon houses. These man-made caves served a vital purpose in ancient times, as pigeons were kept for their droppings used as fertilizer. Today, these unique structures add to the valley's charm, making it a fantastic historical and cultural experience.

Kaymakli Underground City is situated in the Kaymakli castle in Turkey's Central Anatolia Region. It was made available for tourists to visit from 1964 and can be found approximately 19 km away from Nevşehir, along the Nevşehir-Niğde road.
The Derinkuyu Underground City is an impressive Byzantine-era subterranean complex located in Turkey. It comprises eight levels of tunnels and rooms, many of which are accessible to the public. To fully comprehend the significance of these spaces, it is advisable to hire a private guide who can provide explanations about each room. The city is definitely worth a visit as it gives visitors an incredible insight into ancient architecture and engineering design.
As a person who loves exploring and delving into history, I really recommend to visit the place. You will not just know the history of Turkey but also a part of our world history.
You cannot help but be amazed by the architectural wonder and your imagination will go wild on how the people during those times were able to do their activities of daily living. You will see beauty in the complexity of the place.

What an interesting place! Really mind blowing to take in that people used to live like this, with animals etc. Also fighting for their lives at times too.
We studied many areas and visited numerous underground cities, all very fascinating. Although very cool inside the air gets very thick and less the further down you go be warned. Either go first in morning or last before closing.
On entry too many locals trying to sell their goods, some are very pushy and pester too much.
Beautiful handmade items but once interest is shown you will be hounded.
Really nice after being down into the underground city to come out and have a local çay, chat with a local especially the elders as they tell many stories! Also great way to learn more and catch your breath too.
Could do with clean and tidy up locally, more waste bins needed.

This is such an astonishing underground city that have been in existence since many many centuries ago. During that time, people lived underground to avoid oppression, they were able to create quarters for families to sleep, cooking area, storage area, winery, and even a meeting place for the people to gather and have discussions. The underground city were in many levels. One could get lost in the maze of the underground city if not familiar with it. Truly an amazing site and very educational for us.

What a fantastic place! I highly recommend getting there early before the coach trips, as you'll have the place to yourself. 20m in from the entrance are 'private' guides, who can take you round and explain the different rooms. This is a must to fully understanding what you are looking at. Guide cost us 100TL for 4 adults and 2 children (though I assume this price changes depending on the day). You will not regret visiting any of the underground cities, they are incredible.

My visit to Derinkuyu Underground City left me fascinated by its historical significance, but there were a few considerations to keep in mind. Here's my review, taking into account the following pointers:
Visit on a Weekday: To make the most of your experience and avoid overcrowding and long queues, I highly recommend visiting Derinkuyu Underground City on a weekday. This will allow you to explore the site more comfortably and immerse yourself in its unique atmosphere without feeling rushed.
Opt for a Guided Tour: To truly understand the significance and history of this remarkable underground city, I suggest joining a guided tour or a Green Valley tour. The knowledgeable guides provide valuable insights into the ancient civilization that inhabited these underground chambers, enhancing your appreciation for the architectural marvels and the cultural heritage preserved within.
Carry Sufficient Water: It's important to note that there are no water sources within the underground city. Therefore, it is advisable to carry an ample supply of water to stay hydrated during your visit. The exploration can be physically demanding, and having water on hand will ensure a more comfortable experience.
Claustrophobia Considerations: Derinkuyu Underground City is a subterranean labyrinth with narrow passages and confined spaces. If you generally feel claustrophobic or uncomfortable in closed places, it is wise to take adequate measures before deciding to visit. Consider your personal comfort level and prioritize your well-being above all else.
Overall, Derinkuyu Underground City offers a unique and intriguing glimpse into the past. By visiting on a weekday, opting for a guided tour, carrying sufficient water, and considering any potential claustrophobia concerns, you can make the most of this captivating historical site. It is an adventure that will surely leave you in awe of the ancient civilisation that once thrived in these underground chambers.

This is a very good tourist attraction place to visit in cappadocia. With the heat we had to wait for the ticket as soon as we entered the cave it was very chilly cold but I liked it after the heat there was outside. These videos were for my vlog but I had no time to edit. We went really deep with some vent areas where natural cool air was entering. Overall very good experience I recommend going there. Just don't buy those creepy dolls from the women sitting outside

I recently visited Derinkuyu Underground City as part of the Green Tour, and it was an incredible experience. One of the perks of this tour is that the tickets were already included, saving us the hassle of waiting in line. However, I must emphasize that if you are claustrophobic, this may not be the ideal attraction for you. Some of the tunnels are extremely narrow, and it can be quite confining.
During our visit, it did get a bit crowded at times, but the guides did an excellent job of keeping everything under control. Their expertise and knowledge about the history of the underground city added depth to the experience. Exploring the underground chambers, living quarters, and hidden passages was like stepping back in time. Overall, it's a fascinating historical site, but be prepared for tight spaces if you decide to explore it.

The biggest underground city in the world! It is huge and nothing for claustrophobic people. According to a Netflix documentary, it was used to get through the ice age, and knowing that it was an amazing experience to walk through this unbelievable place.

Entry fee is 300 Tl per person. Interesting place, except that there is barely any information inside and without a guide one do not know what the different areas were used for.

Absolutely amazing experience. You would not need to bend down a lot to go through the caves. Caves are well lit and easy to walk through. Not recommended if you are claustrophobic, have heart problems or high blood pressure.

This is one of the best places I have ever visited. This structure is prehistoric and is a result of man’s ingenuity. The city was built underground to protect the people from invaders. It’s underground structure and the maze like caves are simply stunning. It can be a bit claustrophobic in certain sections. It can extremely difficult for people with restricted mobility. We did it as a part of green tour. Highly recommended on your visit to Cappadocia!

It is amazing to see how people lived during the ancient times, such fascinating caves having so many layers. Highly recommend.

One of the most unique, probably prehistoric, iconic and jaw dropping place on the face of earth. This was a marvel of man made structures since before the tools existed. Derinkuyu underground city is an eight level underground city which was capable to house thousands of people and animals, used to be home to humans during various time points in history. The mechanisms of keeping the kettle, providing food and preparing wine, supplying oxygen to the people that underneath take intelligence that came from a species that we proudly call our ancestors. MARVELOUS!!
It was a part of our green tour and this part is not recommended for people who have asthma or back problems.

A few minutes from Goreme... I went to visit this place on a tour called "Green tour" but you can perfectly go in your car and buy tickets when you arrive (there was no line at all when I went) the place in general consists basically in an "underground city" caves, passages and canals that served as a home for this population many years ago, the story is beautiful, the explanation of each room too... but keep in mind that there is nothing written, no posters with information, no signs, if you don't go on a guided tour it will literally be going down, exploring and going up... don't go if you are claustrophobic and take it easy climbing the steps back

Highly recommend. 300 lira entry. Easy to walk around and explore, no guide needed.
You need to visit to understand the scale and history of this place.

It was really interesting to explore the underground city. Unfortunately, no guide was available on the day of our visit. We visited in January. Even the ticket gentleman could not find us a guide. Unlike the Kaymakli Underground City, where they had hired guides waiting for us at the entrance. Many rooms looked similar to us without a guide.

Claimed to be the largest underground man made caves in the world. Only a small portion of the caves are open to visitors. Recommended to get a guide else all “rooms” look the same. Some corridors are very low and narrow. The time you spent there will be less than the time it takes to travel there might. An interesting place to visits if you don’t mind the travel. No public transportation to this place.

Fascinating site to visit. This is an ancient multi-level underground city that goes 85 metres below ground near the modern town of Derinkuyu in Nevşehir Province. It is the largest excavated underground city in Turkey and can accommodate 20,000 people together with their livestock and food stores.
CK Cheong — Google review
The ancient city of Elengubu, known today as Derinkuyu, burrows more than 85m below the Earth's surface, encompassing 18 levels of tunnels. The largest excavated underground city in the world, it was in near-constant use for thousands of years! Incredible experience! Don’t miss this place when you come to Türkiye. Please do not go in if you are claustrophobic, too tall or too large. It is also not suitable for babies or the elderly. Be prepared go down that some spaces require almost crouching to navigate.

Not for the faint hearted, or asthmatics, it's a way down and what goes down, must come up! Very scrunched in some places, and I'm hobbit like myself! Was it good? İt was fascinating, so cool to think people lived in there 😱 absolutely loved the experience

Must visit place if you’re going to Kapadokya! This is so interesting with the history about the underground city. We can see each part of it, below ground. It’s kinda short for each part, so need to carefully watch our head during walking the tunnels.
It’s a beautiful place to enjoy the history of this city.

The Haji Bektash Veli Complex is a cultural center and pilgrimage site for Alevi Muslims. It houses the tomb of Pir Sultan Haci Bektas Veli, a medieval saint, and features cultural exhibits and gardens. The museum structure in the courtyard is noteworthy, with an interesting dome-topped tomb. Visitors can drink holy water from the Lions fountain at the entrance.
This is one of the place you can feel safe. Only religion in the world women and man equal.
Everyone need to read and understand the philosophy behind it.
So much common attitudes with japan's, but how is that possible?

Haji Bektash Veli (Hacı Bektaş-ı Veli) (1209 – 1271) was a saint, and philosopher from Khorasan who lived and taught in Anatolia. Not much is known about his origins, but he is revered among Alevis for an Islamic understanding that is esoteric, rational and humanistic. Hacıbektaş Külliyesi (the complex) was built in 13th century as a teqe (dergâh) of the Sufi saint Haji Bektash Veli. His mausoleum is also located in this complex.

Pir Sultan Haci Bektaş Veli tomb is very powerful and spiritual place of pilgrimage for Alevi population. Highly recommended to feel that unique energy. There is a tomb at dome which i found very interesting . Generally a good museum structure at the courtyard. Drink holy water from Lions fountain at the entrance. Very much love for my Pir Sultan Hünkar Haji Bektash Veli 💜

Very spiritual and beautiful place. You won’t find any tourists here at all. A very small „city“, very local and nice, helpful people. Haci Bektas was one of the biggest preachers of the alevism. The overwhelming feeling you get here is incredible.

This was one of the highlights of the green tour. These breathtaking rocks carved out by humans centuries ago were used as monasteries, then hotel for travellers and then as food storage and castles due to strategic importance. It’s a huge complex and you probably need a few hours to explore them properly. They seem like the overground version of the underground city. This structure is now named after one of the daughters of the Sultans. Truly amazing and highly recommended!

150 steps up and you are there! The place is wonderful! The landscape is too good with a river rather flowing nonchalantly!
The view from the top is extremely beautiful. As like other places in Turkey, this too has got rich history to talk about and if you have got a good guide and interest, you are going to like it.

It was really interesting to explore the cathedral, with caves after caves. We were very fortunate to have the whole site to ourselves. The cathedral was very interesting and kind of unique in its own way. It was a fascinating experience to climb the site. Highly recommended.

Great place! It was cool expierence to go from cave to cave. There was two way to explore : easy way and hard way. You should follow by an arrow (red or green) I think that easy way will be fit for a little kids and elder

This was probably the highlight of my visit to Cappadocia. We visited in the off season and had the place completely to ourselves. The history and heritage of the site is incredible and climbing up through the area is extremely rewarding with fantastic views and picture perfect vistas. Give yourself time here if you can. We had about an hour here but I wish I had more time. Fantastic experience.

We visited on a green tour. You have to climb uphill, but it's not very difficult. Some frescoes remain inside the walls. You will enjoy it a little better if you know the story of priests who fled from persecution. It is also a place that became the motif of the Star Wars movie.

A magnificent site, not to be missed. Incredible to ramble over the rocky outcrop and discover the past, in the form of cave churches, engravings, tunnels, fresco remains and ancient homes in caves. Hint - don’t be fooled by the fake street parking attendant and his friend who begs you to pay for guiding. You don’t need a guide! Make sure you venture over to Mother Mary cave church also. It’s stunning!

We came here as part of a "green" tour. This was my second favorite stop after the underground city.
I really enjoyed that we were able to just explore the space, climb up stairs and go through dark tunnels. Would have also been nice it have a good guide here that can explain the history.

Our visit to Selime Cathedral as part of the Green Tour left us absolutely impressed, and it unquestionably stood out as one of the tour's highlights. This remarkable site, carved into the towering rock formations of Cappadocia, is a testament to human ingenuity and historical significance.
As we explored the intricately carved chambers and marveled at the ancient frescoes, it was impossible not to be awed by the sheer magnitude of this cathedral. The scale and detail of the rock-cut architecture are a true testament to the craftsmanship of the past.
What truly made the experience memorable was the profound sense of history and spirituality that permeated the site. Standing within those ancient walls, we could feel the weight of centuries of human history. It was a moment of awe and reflection that made the visit to Selime Cathedral a truly unforgettable experience.

A lot quieter than Göreme Open Air Museum, but just as interesting. Rather than being herded in and out of the caves, you actually have time to really explore and appreciate what you are seeing. You’re also allowed to take pictures!
I would recommend that you wear sturdy footwear with a good grip, as most of the pathways aren’t level. But it’s definitely worth the (sometimes unsteady) climb there and back.
Caroline Findlay — Google review
Some interesting Fresco fragments but well preserved. It was an interesting walk but unless you want to see the frescos, not much different than the open air museum.

A visit to the Selime Cathedral is one of the itineraries of the Cappadocia Green Tour. This place used to be a cathedral, which was built by carving into the rocky mountains. Like most other places in Cappadocia, it is indeed a wonder of human creativity and ingenuity. An interesting and educational visit, Alhamdulillaah.

I love to travel and have always been attracted by the local cultures and histories. During a recent trip to Turkey, I had the good fortune to come across the charming Sultanhan Kervansaray, a caravanserai that has been preserved and is situated in the Aksaray Province. I felt obligated to share my experience in this thorough assessment with other tourists and history buffs.
When I first arrived at Sultanhan Kervansaray, the splendour of the building grabbed me. This caravanserai was constructed in the 13th century under the rule of the Seljuk Sultan Alaeddin Keykubad I and served as a significant resting and trade location along the Silk Road. The exquisitely carved entrance portal, which is embellished with delicate geometric and floral motifs, is proof of the Seljuk craftsmen's superior skill.
When I entered the courtyard, I was taken back in time to a time when tired travellers and traders sought sanctuary behind the caravanserai's sturdy walls. Arcades that originally used as stables, storage spaces and sleeping quarters border the large courtyard. The peaceful ambiance is enhanced by a modest mosque that is perched on a platform in the middle of the courtyard.
Exploring the huge covered hall, or iwan, where travellers met to network and conduct business, was one of the pleasures of my trip. The hall has a number of enormous columns and arches that give the room a breath-taking sense of expanse. Further complementing the experience is the hall's almost supernatural feel created by the interaction of light and shadow.
The site was in good shape the entire time I was there, the product of careful restoration efforts. Around the caravanserai, educational plaques offer helpful historical context that enhances visitors' understanding of the value of this old structure.
Sultanhan Kervansaray, in addition to its historical appeal, provides contemporary conveniences including a small museum, a nice café, and clean facilities. My questions were gladly answered, and the helpful staff was pleased to share intriguing anecdotes about the history of the caravanserai.
To sum up, Sultanhan Kervansaray is a must-visit location for everyone interested in learning more about Turkey's extensive history and soaking up the atmosphere of the old Silk Road. An extraordinary experience may be had at this caravanserai thanks to its outstanding architecture, well-preserved ruins, and historical ambience. I wholeheartedly advise making time to thoroughly explore this hidden gem, take in its ambience, and make lifelong memories.

I'm not exactly a history geek, but this caravanserai is said to be the first one, and it's located on the Silk Route, which of course makes it worth visiting. Majestic entrance and interior. And very cheap entrance fee! Only 20 TRY (not even 1 USD) in August 2023.
