day VII part 2: Goreme Valley, Cappadocia

Continuing from my previous post, we visited many heritage sites in Cappadocia. One of the famous places you have to visit is Goreme Open Air Museum, which is also on UNESCO World Heritage List since 1984. 

Goreme Village


This is an example of how the buildings in Goreme looks like


These are called frescoes, which are wall paintings usually found in churches. The whole area contains many churches or monasteries like these but most have been vandalized during the Islamic period.


My mom thinks they look scary haha


The Goreme town, some of these places are still inhabited by villagers


Truly an extraordinary sight to behold
