Kırkinler - Afyon Ankara Yolu

Afyonkarahisar Provincial Ministry of Culture and Tourism can be visited free of charge now (08/2020) with its new building.

If you look at the navigation, your path will be longer. After the sights, turn left at the fork and cross the road. You follow the gravel road for a short distance and enter the parking lot of the building built in front of the caves. There is an attendant, there is a sink. There is also a plant in the region called the spring bush. It has a very nice scent.

Most of us are curious about what happened in this world before us, so places like this will always be interesting for anyone who thinks like us. It is as if the foundation of current apartment life was laid here. We were very impressed while visiting. If you happen to be in Afyon, I would definitely say you should visit it. Also, our brother, who works there, is extremely friendly and guiding, he enlightened us with what he said and aroused our curiosity. We offer him a special thanks again ?

First of all, the location is on the left while going from Afyonkarahisar to Ankara, Google maps bring it to the right, and when you miss the intersection, you have to go for 7-8 km in vain. Kırkinler is one of the must-see places in Afyonkarahisar, where the history of churches and caves is felt, operated by the Culture and Tourism Directorate (entrance free), which was opened for tourism. There are no explanations or signs about the caves or the sections. For example, the well-like structure is surrounded by a wooden structure, but what is not written. There is no information about the caves below. It seems that the upper part is the church because of the crosses. You can pass through the Seydis who come to the forties and have time and visit the fairy chimney-like structures 3-4 km away. Very interesting structures have not solved the only problem. A little walk is required. When it gets dark, birds come into the caves.

It is definitely a must-see area with its natural structure preserved, with its engraved cross signs, church, and living areas that have hosted various civilizations for centuries. It is said that it will be customized, now it offers free touring. It is also very suitable for a short break with its location very close to the road.

You really should travel. The inside of the cave is so beautiful that walking in it is exciting. Examine the markings on the walls and ceiling. Don't forget to take a photo on the lion sofa at the exit ? I'm sure there will be many more things to come if the whole land is examined, by the way, the uncle in charge is very friendly and caring, thanks to him too.

It is a sweet place where you can both take a break and rest for 1 hour on the road and take a historical trip. It is a cultural area that needs to be protected, where structures such as churches are still intact within a few fairy chimney settlements. There is a parking lot and a toilet, but there was no service other than the security guard. It would be better if there was a place where tea and coffee are sold and a guide service. Some areas are high and unprotected. You have to follow the little children closely.
