Zelve Open Air Museum, Nevsehir

Probably spent 45mins to 1 hour to track and see the locals who used to live inside these caves. Churches and mosques found along the waking trail. Not so convenient for disable and lots of stairs to climb too! Beautiful creation of mankind ..

We were not able to go to Goreme air museum because of hundreds of tourists there, so we went here. Pretty much the same thing. Quite interesting. You can come here with kids. They would love it.

Absolutely beautiful place. The scenery is even more spectacular than Goreme open air museum. Looks like the cave monasteries are churches may be older too. They're certainly simpler. But frustratingly almost everywhere is closed. They say it's because of falling rocks but I don't believe it in most parts. I think it's because the museum officials like saying no as much as possible because it makes them feel important. For example, the main church only has red ochre painting in, no photosensitive plant-based pigments, and it's already open to daylight, so it's really impossible that old pre-LED camera flashes could cumulatively do any damage, but they just put the same rule of no photos everywhere interesting so that you have to buy their postcards, but there aren't even postcards of that church in the museum shop. There's so much money in the local tourism economy but they don't appear to even try to do basic conservation, it's easier to just close everything.

Very interesting to see all of the carved buildings. There are different paths you can take but none of them are too long, it can be done in about an hour or less. Not as much as Goreme museum but a bit more variety in the buildings here.

This place is very cool! I would love to visit this place again if I have a chance to travel to Turkey. It's quite easy to buy the ticket but I had the meseum pass which is very easy to get inside the place.
