Entry costs around 400 Turkish lira (roughly $13-15 USD), plus an additional 100 lira for the Dark Church, which is absolutely worth the extra fee. The Museum Pass Cappadocia covers both entrance fees if you plan to visit multiple sites in the region.

Om
Raske fakta: Mer enn 30 hogde steinkirker og kapeller er samlet i dette klosterkomplekset som er skåret inn i myk vulkansk tuff. Flere kapeller har bevart levende 1000-talls bysantinske fresker, og Den mørke kirken har bevart maleriene sine gjennom århundrer med nesten totalt mørke.
Høydepunkter: Den mørke kirken fikk navnet sitt fordi den nesten ikke har noen vinduer, og det evige mørket er nettopp grunnen til at dens bibelske fresker fra 1000-tallet har overlevd i så perfekt stand. En enkelt stripe med naturlig lys treffer kuppelmaleriet av Kristus Pantokrator i akkurat rett vinkel, og får de gylne gloriene til å synes å gløde mot den dypblå bakgrunnen.
Insidertips
- Pay the separate entry fee for the Dark Church, its frescoes are dramatically more vivid than any other chapel here.
- Visit the Apple Church and Snake Church early in your walk before crowds cluster in the narrow corridors between chapels.
- Wear comfortable shoes with good grip, the carved stone pathways and steep stair climbs between chapels can be slippery.
- Photography inside the chapels is often restricted, but you can capture excellent exterior shots of the rock-cut facades from the upper pathway.
