Cappadocia - Goreme Open Air Museum

The Goreme Open Air Museum is located not far out of town.  We were able to walk there.  We also had the most beautiful day ever as you can see from the sky in our pictures.

First, we hiked the hills across the way from the museum for a little bit.  There are numerous paths and trails to choose from of varying lengths.

The museum itself consists of dwellings and churches from a monastic community built into the caves around 800 - 1200 AD.  It was amazing how many tiny churches were built so close to each other.  Entrance is 15 Turkish Lira.  The Dark Church which has the best preserved frescoes has a separate entrance fee of 8 Turkish Lira.
