R	R S on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ The church is a small hall in the mountain. You need to know a bit of history and significance of the place to enjoy the atmosphere, have a look at the city view and tolerate the groups of religious tourists ( not to mention a rather expensive entry fee) Take your time to go around the church (opposite direction of the main entrance). You shall find an amazing number of tunnels dug in the mountains and the figure carved into the mountain. Unfortunately, the path is not marked and cleaned, but it is definitely part of the amazing history where people had to prepare escape ways to flee religious persecution.

M	Mats Palats on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Absolutely loveöy and it so much history about this place. Its small but close to city. Still worth a visit to touch the history.
T	Tomas Boman on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Nice place to visit, returning back to the Apostles time and feel the history. The entry fees is high compared with other museums.
R	Rawan Takriti on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ Interesting story, the first church were build in a cave, worth to visit. The entrance fee is a bit high so if you have museum card will be better.
W	W Rose Gac on Google ★ ★ ★ ★ ★ This place, although is small, should be visited for the historical value that it has. As the first church in the world, and another historical site in a city that dates back to the first civilised city-states of the world. It is better to have the museum card as it gives access to all museums and historical sites of Turkey for 1 year.
