Selime Cathedral - Selime Cathedral

Absolutely worth the visit! Included in the Cappadocia green tour.

One of the places that we visited in Kappadocia for a reason, you transfer yourself to the 10th century, and you are filled with the atmosphere of that life. the terrace offers a beautiful view.

Moon Church ?? These ruins are pretty impressive with the rooms cut out of the rock. What's even more impressive are the columns carved from this rock which still have a bit of their fresco painting left ? I decided to spend the night next to this massive ruin to avoid the literal bus loads of tourist who were unloaded here the evening I arrived. I was here first thing in the morning and had the whole place to myself. Pretty magnificent honestly! The view over the valley is really something special from here ?

A great place to visit. I learned a lot about human civilization and the Ottoman Empire. Everyone should come here at least once.

Very interesting place, some scenes of Star Wars were recorded in this place and the entrance is for free if you visited the canyon before, which name I don't remember name but is very close. No drones allowed to take off from the place, but no problems with taking off from the near garage place

Fun place to look at. My girlfriend's short so it was kind of hard for her to climb up some of the rocks. But we made it

To visit this outstanding site you need a full day out from Goreme combining it with the nearby Ihlara Valley (read that review). It's an almost 2 hrs drive from Goreme, from Ihlara some 20 min. Entry fee is included in the Museum Cappadocia Pass which is highly recommended. While in Goreme you'll see many small churches carved in rocks, here is the biggest and largest of all of them also rock carved - it is the biggest religious structure in all Cappadocia with a Cathedral, separate Chapel, monastery along with kitchen, storage room and stables. The entire complex dates back to 8th century. Inside there're beautiful frescoes, not that greatly preserved but still visible. With Seljuks arrival the monastery was converted into a Carvansaray for silk route traders in 12c. There's a free parking in front and count on 1 - 1,5 hours for a visit

Favourite part of the Green Tour in Cappadocia! Incredible designs! Its amazing how such structures still exist in the modern day world.
