About Göreme (Cappadocia)
Göreme is the most celebrated village in Cappadocia — the extraordinary volcanic landscape of central Anatolia (UNESCO World Heritage Site) whose unique geological formations (the famous 'fairy chimneys' — tall, conical volcanic tuff pillars capped with harder basalt, carved by erosion into fantastical shapes over millions of years), rock-cut Byzantine churches, underground cities and ancient cave dwellings create one of the most extraordinary landscapes in the world, receiving over 3.5 million visitors annually. Göreme village (population 2,000, now almost entirely given over to cave hotels, restaurants and tour operators) is the spiritual and tourism capital of Cappadocia, its Open Air Museum (the most important Byzantine cave church complex in Turkey, with the Dark Church, the Snake Church and the Apple Church preserving extraordinary 10th–12th century frescoes) the principal heritage attraction.
Cappadocia's most celebrated experience is the hot air balloon flight over the fairy chimneys at dawn — with over 100 balloons lifting simultaneously from the Göreme valley each morning (weather permitting), the Cappadocia balloon sunrise is one of the most photographed and most sought-after travel experiences in the world. The underground cities of Derinkuyu and Kaymaklı (extending 8–11 storeys underground, carved by early Christian communities fleeing Roman and later Arab persecution, with living spaces, churches, wineries and ventilation shafts for thousands of inhabitants) and the İhlara Valley (a 14km-long canyon carved by the Melendiz River through the volcanic plateau, its walls studded with rock-cut Byzantine churches and hermit cells) extend the Cappadocian heritage landscape far beyond the Göreme valley.
